The command for the destruction of the PMC "Wagner" was allegedly given by Chief of the General Staff Valerii Herasimov after a meeting with Defense Minister Serhiy Shoihu. Pryhozhyn informed about the beginning of the "march of justice", took control of Rostovʼs military facilities, in particular, the airfield, and the "Wagnerians" began to move towards Moscow.

Then Pryhozhyn informed that they were disbanding the columns and returning to the field camps.
