President Vladimir Putin traveled to the headquarters of Russia’s Southern Military District for the first time since June’s attempted mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group. He met with top officials including Valery Gerasimov, head of the General Staff, who’d been a key focus of criticism by Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin ahead of the uprising.
