Quote from Prigozhin: "They wanted to dismantle the Wagner Group. On 23 June, we set out to march for justice. We have advanced over the course of the day, stopping 200 kilometres away from Moscow. During this time, not a drop of our fighters’ blood has been shed.

Now is the moment when blood may be spilled. Understanding our full responsibility for the possibility of Russian blood being spilled on either of the sides, we are turning our convoys around and going in the opposite direction to set up field camps, according to our plans."
