The Kremlin did not immediately confirm it had agreed to let Prigozhin’s forces retreat.We set off on June 23 on our march for justice. In 24 hours we moved 200km to Moscow. During that time we didn’t spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Right now the moment has come when blood could be spilled. Therefore, understanding all the responsibility for the fact that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our convoy around and going back to our basecamps, according to the plan.
