Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said he had lifted anti-terror measures imposed in the Russian capital during the armed uprising by the Wagner mercenary group on Saturday.

Sobjanin made the announcement in a statement on the Telegram messaging app on Monday, it reports N1.

Russian media cite local offices of the Federal Security Service (FSB) as saying that similar measures have been lifted in the Voronezh region and Moscow.

Also, Russia's National Committee for Combating Terrorism said the situation in the country is "stable."

Anti-terror measures were imposed in three regions on Saturday as a column of rebel Wagner mercenaries moved towards Moscow, exchanging fire with security forces.

Several convoys of mercenary armored vehicles left the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don for Moscow on Saturday.

To slow the advance, regional authorities hastily set up roadblocks.

However, the rebellion was suddenly stopped in the evening after the intervention of the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko.
