Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has met with the head of the Wagner private military company, Evgeny Prigozhin, several days after the group aborted an uprising, as part of a Belarus-mediated deal, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
The brief mutiny led by Prigozhin, in which Wagner fighters took control of the southern city of Rostov, confronted Putin with the gravest challenge to his hold on power since taking over as Russia's paramount leader on the last day of 1999.
