It’s mid-afternoon in Kyiv. Here’s what you need to know

As the dust settles after a bizarre and chaotic weekend in Russia – which saw the greatest challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s authority in decades – there remains more questions than answers.

Here are the latest developments:

• Mutiny: Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was last seen Saturday evening leaving Rostov-on-Don after calling off the attempted insurrection. A deal was apparently struck with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko which would allow Prigozhin to live in Belarus and not face criminal charges in Russia. While a Kremlin spokesperson said criminal charges against Prigozhin have been dropped, state media TASS said that the case against him is still active, citing a source close to the Prosecutor General’s Office.
• Belarus reception: Prigozhin won’t be welcomed by the Belarusian people if he is exiled to the country, according to Franak Viacorka, a senior adviser to exiled Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. “He doesn’t see [Belarus] as an independent nation, so I think the Belarusian army and Belarusian society will not accept him,” Viacorka told CNN.
• Moscow lifts restrictions: All security restrictions imposed in the Russian capital following the insurrection have ended, Moscow’s mayor said Monday. A CNN team observed Red Square blocked off on Sunday, a day after Prigozhin called off his short-lived mutiny. The mayor thanked Muscovites on Monday for their “calm and understanding” over the weekend.
• Internal stability: Russia faced a “challenge” to its internal stability, according to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who acknowledged Prigozhin’s armed mutiny during his address to cabinet ministers on Monday. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell also said Monday that the insurrection showed that military power in Russia is “cracking,” and that the instability was “affecting [Russia’s] political system.”
• "Big" mistake: This weekend's events demonstrate that Putin made a “big strategic mistake” by launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday. Meanwhile, Germany's foreign minister Annalena Baerbock said Moscow's invasion of Ukraine was having “devastating consequences” on Russian leadership.
• Shoigu visits Ukraine front line: Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu – whose removal was one of the explicit aims of Prigozhin’s mutiny – has reportedly visited Russian troops in Ukraine. According to a statement from the defense ministry, Shoigu traveled to a front line command post of one of the Western group of forces in the special military operation zone. However, neither the ministry nor state media said when the visit took place.
• EU support: European Union member states pledged a further $3.8 billion in support for Ukraine as part of the European Peace Facility, as Ukraine’s foreign minister called on the bloc to “accelerate” Russia’s defeat. The fund has been used by EU nations to finance military aid for Ukraine.
• “Tactical success”: Ukrainian forces have been engaged in heavy fighting over the past week and have enjoyed “tactical success,” according to deputy defense minister Hanna Maliar. The Ukrainian army has continued offensive operations near Melitopol and Berdiansk in the south, and around Lyman and Bakhmut in the east, Maliar said.
• Kherson hit by heavy shelling: One person was killed and seven others including a pregnant woman were injured after Kherson was hit by heavy shelling Monday, a Ukrainian military official said. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces said Monday they had intercepted 13 air targets overnight, including two Kalibr cruise missiles, seven Shahed attack drones and four unmanned aerial vehicles.
