Putin didn't mention where and in what numbers Wagner could be deployed, or say what proposal Wagner commanders eventually accepted, if any.

Prigozhin called his mercenaries back to their camps after striking a deal to end the rebellion in exchange for an amnesty for him and his mercenaries, and permission to move to Belarus.
