"The movement of Wagner units through the Voronezh region is ending," Voronezh governor Alexander Gusev said.

"It is running normally and without incidents," Gusev added, saying travel restrictions imposed during Saturday's operation against the mutiny will be lifted once "the situation is finally resolved."
