In a bold move that marks a turning point in recent events, Moscow’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has declared the counter-terrorism measures, previously instituted due to an alleged armed uprising by the Wagner mercenary group, are now withdrawn. Sobyanin publicized this development on Monday through the Telegram messaging application, according to Russian media reports.
Insiders from the local Federal Security Service (FSB) have also indicated that similar anti-terror protocols in the Voronezh and Moscow regions have been rescinded. This move aligns with the assertions made by Russia’s National Anti-terrorism Committee, insisting that the nation’s situation remains “stable.”
The counter-terrorism regimes were initially set in place on Saturday. This action was triggered by a column of defiant Wagner mercenaries advancing towards Moscow, leading to heated exchanges with security forces.
