A public briefing from the Kremlin press service provides a record of a meeting between the Russian president and senior law enforcement leaders. The discussion focused on recent events and the immediate tasks facing the agencies, framed around a careful analysis of what unfolded in the days prior.
The attendees included the defense minister, the interior minister, the head of the FSB, the chairman of the Investigative Committee, and other senior officials. The gathering served as a platform to acknowledge work completed, to assess responses, and to chart the way forward for security and stability across the country.
As the president addressed the council, his remarks emphasized unity and resolve. He expressed gratitude to the personnel and to the private military company involved for their conduct in the face of upheaval, underscoring that solidarity among national institutions remains essential during moments of tension.
On the evening of June 23, reports circulated that the private military group had claimed that the defense ministry had targeted rear camps, while its fighters were advancing toward new territory in a march titled for justice. Official statements, however, rejected these accusations, noting a lack of substance to the claims and stressing the need for a calm, law-based response to any provocation.
By the morning of June 24, the situation had intensified as the group began obstructing key administrative facilities in a major city and movement toward the capital appeared imminent. The president condemned the actions as a serious breach of discipline and warned about the consequences for those involved and for the broader mission of protecting the state and its citizens.
Later that day, the press office of Belarus reported on a bilateral dialogue that led to a resolution framework. The parties discussed security guarantees for the fighters and a pathway to de-escalation. The outcome pointed to a managed settlement, with assurances aimed at preventing further disruption and preserving the safety of the civilian population while allowing military and security forces to maintain order and continuity of governance. The leadership of the private group said it would reposition its forces to field camps, signaling a potential return to existing operation norms without further escalation.
