Meet the woman who arrived at the airport with all clothes stuffed in a bra

<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin, while addressing the troops gathered in Kremlin on Tuesday, said that the civil war was prevented by them after a revolt by Wagner mercenaries. The president also observed a minute of silence for pilots who lost their lives in clashes during the mutiny.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You de facto stopped the civil war," said Putin, while speaking to troops from the FSB security service, National Guard, defence ministry, and interior ministry.</p>

<p>"You proved your loyalty to the people of Russia and the military oath. You showed responsibility for the fate of the motherland and its future," he added.</p>

<p>"In the confrontation with rebels, our comrades-in-arms, pilots, were killed. They did not flinch and honourably fulfilled their orders and their military duty," said Putin, before holding a minute of silence in memory of the lost lives.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Putin further stated that the Wagner mercenaries, &nbsp;who had participated in an armed insurrection last week over the military leadership of Russia, failed to win the support of the Russian army or its people.</p>

<p>"People who were drawn into the rebellion saw that the army and the people were not with them," said the Russian president in a televised address while speaking to the law enforcement agencies outside the Kremlin.</p>

<p>He added that no soldier was deployed by Moscow to Ukraine to counter the Wagner's armed rebellion inside Russia, as the Kremlin insisted that its offensive against Kyiv will remain unaffected.</p>

<p>"We did not have to take combat units from the special military operation zone," said Putin, while speaking to law enforcement agencies at the Kremlin, adding that "all military formations continued to wage a heroic fight at the front during that time."&nbsp;</p>

'You de facto stopped civil war,' says Putin to troops in Kremlin post failed mutiny

<p>The government authorities in Russia on Tuesday said that they have dropped the criminal charges against Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin as well as other participants after the failed armed rebellion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Federal Security Service (FSB) said that the investigation discovered that those involved in the mutiny “ceased activities directed at committing the crime,” hence, the case would not be pursued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The announcement made was the latest twist in a series of shocking events that took place in the last few days and seemed to threaten the leadership of President Vladimir Putin’s grip amid the 16-month-old war in Ukraine.</p>

<p>A person charged with leading an armed mutiny can face imprisonment for up to 20 years in Russia. However, the way Prigozhin escaped prosecution shows a stark contrast to how those leading anti-government protests have been treated in Russia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Russian news agencies&nbsp;earlier reported on Monday that Prigozhin is still under investigation and the charges against him for organising armed rebellion have not been dropped.</p>

<p>"The criminal case against (Yevgeny) Prigozhin has not been dropped," a source in the prosecutor's office was quoted as saying by the three main Russian news agencies on Monday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time when the deal was finalised, the Kremlin had stated that all charges against Prigozhin will be dropped after the latter agreed to leave for Belarus.</p>

A hint of life in universe? NASA makes breakthrough discovery of carbon molecule in space

<p lang="en-US">Around 200 tourists, who had thronged to the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh for their summer vacations, lived a nightmare when they were stranded in at least a 15 km-long traffic jam with no availability of hotel rooms for 20 hours because of the blockade on the national highway&nbsp;which connects Mandi and Kullu in the state.<br />
<br />
Since last evening, the highway was blocked because of landslides and flash floods which were triggered by heavy rainfall in the hilly state. According to news agency PTI, officials said that explosives were used to blast heavy boulders which had blocked the road.<br />
<br />
However, after 20 hours, the tourists got some respite as the Mandi-Kullu highway was finally opened for traffic movement. However, in those 20 hours, the commuters had a harrowing time.</p>

<p lang="en-US">Speaking about the development, Mandi SHO Sakini Kapoor said, “Single-lane road of the highway has been opened for traffic movement. I appeal to people to cooperate. The road is clear till Manali.”</p>

<h2 lang="en-US"><strong>Vacation turned into a nightmare</strong></h2>

<p lang="en-US">Speaking to NDTV, tourists Sohail Yousuf and Azaz Hasan, who were stranded due to the road blockade, said that they were headed to Bhuntar airport when they got stuck.<br />
<br />
"Multiple landslides took place between Mandi and Sundarnagar. At 10 pm, the police stopped us and asked us to go back. The traffic jam here is at least 15 km long," said Hasan, while speaking to NDTV.<br />
<br />

Around 200 tourists, who had thronged to the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh for their summer vacations, lived a nightmare when they were stranded in at least a 15 km-long traffic jam with no availability of hotel rooms for 20 hours because of the blockade on the national highway which connects Mandi and Kullu in the state.

Around 200 tourists, who had thronged to the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh for their summer vacations, lived a nightmare when they were stranded in at least a 15 km-long traffic jam with no availability of hotel rooms for 20 hours because of the blockade on the national highway which connects Mandi and Kullu in the state. Since last evening, the highway was blocked because of landslides and flash floods which were triggered by heavy rainfall in the hilly state. According to news agency PTI, officials said that explosives were used to blast heavy boulders which had blocked the road. However, after 20 hours, the tourists got some respite as the Mandi-Kullu highway was finally opened for traffic movement. However, in those 20 hours, the commuters had a harrowing time.

India: Himachal's Mandi-Kullu highway opens after stranding tourists for 20 hours

<p lang="en-US">Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, in his first video message released on Monday (June 26) since his aborted mutiny, said that his rebellion was aimed at saving his embattled mercenary group and not overthrowing the Russian leadership.<br />
<br />
"We went to demonstrate our protest and not to overthrow power in the country," said Prigozhin, in the first audio message released since the Wagner&nbsp;group's march towards Moscow was called off on the weekend.<br />
<br />
“We stopped at that moment when it became clear that much blood would be spilt,” he stated, while emphasising the military convoy's progress and that it was at a striking distance from Moscow.</p>

<p lang="en-US">“That’s why we believe that the demonstration of what we were planning to do was enough. Our decision to turn back had two factors: we didn’t want to spill Russian blood. Secondly, we marched as a demonstration of our protest,” he added.<br />
<br />
The Wagner mercenary group's leader said that the march towards Moscow showed up "very serious security problems" in Russia. In the released audio file, Yevgeny Prigozhin said the convoy of armed rebellions was only 200 kilometres (125 miles) away from Moscow and had "blocked all military infrastructure", which included air bases along its path.<br />
<br />
He once again accused the defence ministry of Russia of targeting his armed forces with artillery fire, calling it the “trigger for us to move out immediately”.<br />
<br />
“The goal of the march was to not allow the destruction of the Wagner private military company and hold to account the officials who through their unprofessional actions have committed a massive number of errors. Society demanded it,” he added.<br />

Prigozhin said that his fighters received support from "happy" civilians in the towns they passed through while advancing towards Moscow. "In Russian towns, civilians met us with Russian flags and the symbols of Wagner. They were all happy when we passed through,” he stated.</p>

WATCH | MS Dhoni's viral video gets Candy Crush 3.6 million downloads in just 3 hours?

<p lang="en-US">In a span of 36&nbsp;hours, Russian President Vladimir Putin faced the greatest threat of an armed insurrection, the biggest challenge to his authority since the leader came to power more than two decades ago.<br />
<br />
As the armed fighters of Wagner group along with their chief Yevgeny Prigozhin marched towards Moscow, Putin vowed to punish them, calling their act as 'treason' and a 'stab in the back' before the crisis suddenly defused after the sudden deal with Belarus.<br />
<br />
As per the deal, Prigozhin had to pull back his troops and all the criminal charges against the Wagner chief were dropped. Now, as the Wagner group mercenaries move towards Belarus, emergency security measures still remain imposed in Moscow.</p>

<h2 lang="en-US"><strong>What will be the next steps of Putin?</strong></h2>

<p lang="en-US">Even though the immediate threat has been contained, experts believe that Putin has not emerged as a strong leader but rather appears badly bruised. Since the televised address of Putin, in which he loathed the Wagner group for its betrayal, the Russian president has not appeared in public and there have been no plans of any new presidential address in the near future.</p>

<p lang="en-US">However, in the pre-recorded interview televised on Sunday, Putin stated that he was confident about the progress being made in the war against Ukraine. Some experts believe that Putin will soon lash out at those who remained unsupportive at such a critical time and may also show military aggression in Ukraine.<br />
<br />
Speaking to BBC, Polish MEP Radek Sikorski said that Putin would "probably purge those who he saw as wavering", which means his regime will become "more authoritarian and more brutal at the same time".</p>

<h2 lang="en-US"><strong>What lies ahead for Prigozhin and Wagner?</strong></h2>

<p lang="en-US">It still remains unclear what will be the role of Prigozhin within the Wagner group and in the war against Ukraine and if all fighters will be contracted to the military of Russia.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, a Kremlin spokesperson said he “cannot answer” what will be Prigozhin's position in Belarus. Retired US Army Maj Mike Lyons said that the Wagner group is “an independent fighting company” with conditions which are different compared to the Russian military.<br />
<br />
“Maybe some will splinter off. Those people are loyal to the man, Prigozhin, not to the country, not to the mission. I think we’ve got a lot more questions that are not answered right now,” he said.</p>

<p lang="en-US">“Putin doesn’t forgive traitors. Even if Putin says, ‘Prigozhin, you go to Belarus,’ he is still a traitor and I think Putin will never forgive that,” stated Jill Dougherty, CNN’s former Moscow bureau chief. She further hinted at the possibility of seeing Prigozhin “get killed in Belarus”.<br />
<br />
However, she stated that it is a tough dilemma for Russia till Prigozhin “has some type of support, he is a threat, regardless of where he is.”</p>

<h2 lang="en-US"><strong>How will Wagner's rebellion affect the war in Ukraine?</strong></h2>

<p lang="en-US">Some of the most successful fightings was carried out by the Wagner group in Ukraine, even though a lot of its fighters have come from prison and have been promised to be freed from frontline service. The group was heavily involved with Russia in capturing the city of Bakhmut. Russia maintains its stance that the rebellion has not impacted its Ukraine campaign.<br />
<br />
However, experts believe the news of armed rebellion may be demoralising for the Russian forces. Some believe that there is the possibility of in-fighting between rival units in the days ahead.<br />
<br />
Ukraine, along with being concerned over the chances of Russia escalating its involvement, will also look for opportunities that may emerge from the instability across the border. A counter-offensive has been launched by the forces of Kyiv to reclaim territories which have been captured by the occupiers and feel the unrest in Moscow offers a "window of opportunity".<br />
<br />
Speaking to BBC, former US ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor said that Ukrainian forces were in "a good position" to exploit tactical weaknesses exposed by the sudden movement of Wagner fighters.</p>

<h2 lang="en-US"><strong>How will the rebellion impact the Russian people?</strong></h2>

<p lang="en-US">When Prigozhin and his armed forces departed Rostov-on-Don, they were cheered by the residents of the city, who were even heard chanting “Wagner”. The videos shared on social media reflected the support Wagner had from the citizens as people shouted, "Take care of yourselves”.<br />
<br />
The show of support for Wagner mercenaries was striking in a nation which grew increasingly intolerant of public criticism of Putin's rule.<br />
<br />
“If I were Putin, I would be worried about those people on the streets of Rostov cheering the Wagner people as they leave,” stated Dougherty, speaking to CNN.<br />
<br />
“Why are average Russians on the street cheering people who just tried to carry out a coup? “That means that maybe they support them or they like them. Whatever it is, it’s really bad news for Putin,” she added.<br />
<br />
Emphasising how concerning it is for Putin to see civilians applauding Wagner units, leading Russia analyst Tatiana Stanovaya said, "Many inside the elite will personally blame Putin for the fact that everything went so far and that there was no proper reaction from the president in good time. Therefore, this whole story is also a blow to Putin's positions."<br />
<br />
It's difficult to assess how much Putin's image has suffered because of rebellion, however, the cracks seem evident.&nbsp;</p>

Explained | Bruised Putin's dangling future post Wagner's short-lived rebellion

<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared for the first time since the Wagner mercenary group's aborted mutiny, in a Kremlin video address on Monday.</p>

<p>In the video, Putin was seen addressing a youth forum titled the "Engineers of the Future" where he appreciated companies for ensuring "the stable operation" of the Russian industry "in the face of severe external challenges".</p>

<p lang="en-US">"Dear friends! I congratulate you on the opening of the International Industrial "Engineers of the Future" Youth Forum. It has brought together young engineers, scientists, technologists, students, graduate students and representatives of public organisations from the majority of Russia's regions and an array of foreign countries. It is symbolic that the forum is taking place on Tula (city south of Moscow) soil, which has always been famous for its craftsmen, its dynasties of workers, engineers and arms makers. The development of Russian industry depends on the quality of its specialists," said Putin, in his video address.</p>

<p>The address did not have any mention of the Wagner mutiny which rattled Russia over the weekend.</p>

<h2><strong>Working as normal after mutiny, says Wagner HQ</strong></h2>

<p>Wagner mercenary group's main Saint Petersburg office on Monday said that it was working in "normal mode". "Despite events that have taken place, the centre continues to work in normal mode in accordance with the law of the Russian Federation," said the group's main office, in a statement.</p>

<p>It stated that Wagner has "worked for the future of Russia" and extended thanks to its supporters.</p>

<h2><strong>Raisi extends 'full support' to Putin: Kremlin</strong></h2>

<p>Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi held a telephonic conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday and extended his "full support" following the Wagner group's aborted mutiny, the Kremlin said.</p>

<p>"The Iranian president expressed full support for the Russian leadership in connection with the June 24 events," the Kremlin stated. Qatar's Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani also called Putin and expressed his support, said the Kremlin.</p>

<h2><strong>Ukraine recaptures Russian-occupied settlement</strong></h2>

<p>Another formerly Russian-held settlement was recaptured by the Ukrainian forces on the southern front, said deputy defence minister Ganna Malyar on Monday.</p>

<p>"Defence forces returned Rivnopil under our control. Let's push on," stated the minister on her Telegram account, referring to a rural community in the Donetsk region.</p>

<p>A counter-offensive was launched this month by Ukraine against the Russian troops which have occupied almost a fifth of its territory in the country's southern and eastern regions.</p>

<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accepted that the advance did not accelerate as fast as estimated, even though more Western-supplied weapons and tanks were deployed by Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that the city's situation is "stable", and thanked&nbsp;Muscovites for their "calm and understanding" during the crisis.</p>

<p>The government had ordered a “counter-terrorist" regime in the capital city on Saturday as Wagner columns marched towards the city while clashing with Russian armed forces in Voronezh.&nbsp;</p>

In the video, Putin was seen addressing a youth forum titled the "Engineers of the Future" where he appreciated companies for ensuring "the stable operation" of the Russian industry "in the face of severe external challenges". "Dear friends! I congratulate you on the opening of the International Industrial "Engineers of the Future" Youth Forum. It has brought together young engineers, scientists, technologists, students, graduate students and representatives of public organisations from the majority of Russia's regions and an array of foreign countries. It is symbolic that the forum is taking place on Tula (city south of Moscow) soil, which has always been famous for its craftsmen, its dynasties of workers, engineers and arms makers. The development of Russian industry depends on the quality of its specialists," said Putin, in his video address. The address did not have any mention of the Wagner mutiny which rattled Russia over the weekend. Working as normal after mutiny, says Wagner HQ Wagner mercenary group's main Saint Petersburg office on Monday said that it was working in "normal mode". "Despite events that have taken place, the centre continues to work in normal mode in accordance with the law of the Russian Federation," said the group's main office, in a statement. It stated that Wagner has "worked for the future of Russia" and extended thanks to its supporters. Raisi extends 'full support' to Putin: Kremlin Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi held a telephonic conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday and extended his "full support" following the Wagner group's aborted mutiny, the Kremlin said. "The Iranian president expressed full support for the Russian leadership in connection with the June 24 events," the Kremlin stated. Qatar's Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani also called Putin and expressed his support, said the Kremlin. Ukraine recaptures Russian-occupied settlement Another formerly Russian-held settlement was recaptured by the Ukrainian forces on the southern front, said deputy defence minister Ganna Malyar on Monday. "Defence forces returned Rivnopil under our control. Let's push on," stated the minister on her Telegram account, referring to a rural community in the Donetsk region. A counter-offensive was launched this month by Ukraine against the Russian troops which have occupied almost a fifth of its territory in the country's southern and eastern regions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accepted that the advance did not accelerate as fast as estimated, even though more Western-supplied weapons and tanks were deployed by Ukraine. Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that the city's situation is "stable", and thanked Muscovites for their "calm and understanding" during the crisis. The government had ordered a “counter-terrorist" regime in the capital city on Saturday as Wagner columns marched towards the city while clashing with Russian armed forces in Voronezh.
