Russia's State Duma (the Lower House of the country's parliament) is working out a bill on regulating activities by private military companies (PMCs).
When asked if the document could be prepared and passed in the near future, Head of State Duma Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov said that he and his colleagues “are working on it."
The lawmaker also noted that it is too early to speak about prospects of PMC Wagner in light of latest developments.
The Belarusian presidential office said on Saturday that Prigozhin had accepted Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's proposal to stop the movement of Wagner troops in Russia and to take further steps to de-escalate the situation. Prigozhin later confirmed the information, saying that the Wagner troops were returning to their field camps.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Saturday evening that the criminal case against Prigozhin had been dropped and that he would leave for Belarus under guarantees given by Putin. The spokesman added that the members of the Wagner PMC who were involved in Saturday's events would not be prosecuted, given their distinguished service during Russia's special military operation in Ukraine.
