Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin flew into exile in Belarus on Tuesday under a deal that ended a brief mutiny by his fighters, as President Vladimir Putin praised his armed forces for averting a civil war.

Russian authorities also dropped a criminal case against his Wagner Group mercenary force, state news agency RIA reported, apparently fulfilling another condition of the deal brokered by Lukashenko late on Saturday that defused the crisis. "This is the city centre. These were public eating places crowded with civilians," the governor, Pavlo Kyrylenko, told Ukrainian television.

It first appeared on the tracking site above Rostov, the southern Russian city that Prigozhin's fighters had captured during the mutiny. Putin was joined by Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, whose dismissal had been one of the mutineers' main demands. Russian leaders have tried to convey that the situation is returning to normal. Putin met on Monday night with the heads of security services, including Defence Minister Shoigu.
