Wagner mercenaries will stop fighting in Ukraine, the head of Russia's defence committee Andrei Kartapolov said on Thursday.

The decision comes after mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin refused to sign contracts bringing Wagner under Russia's defence ministry.

Progpzhin staged a rebellion against Moscow over the weekend, which ended with a deal exiling him and his force to Belarus. Kartapolov said the mercenary leader had been notified of Kremlin's decision."As you know, a few days before the attempted mutiny, the defence ministry said that all formations performing combat tasks must sign contracts with the defence ministry.

Everyone started to implement this decision, except Prigozhin," said Kartapolov.The Wagner group will no longer receive state funding, he added.
