Saturday's rebellion by Wagner mercenaries was “a challenge to its stability”, Russia's prime minister has said.

Mikhail Mishustin insisted Russia must remain united behind President Vladimir Putin.

Moscow's defence minister Sergei Shoigu is shown on state TV visiting troops fighting in Ukraine - it is not clear when it was taken.

Wagner mercenary group chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had demanded Shoigu's removal and described him as evil.

Prigozhin agreed to leave Russia for Belarus after calling off his troops - his current whereabouts are unknown.

Russia media have reported the criminal case into Prigozhin is still open despite the Kremlin saying charges would be dropped.

The mutiny was a direct challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin and has revealed "cracks" in his leadership, the US says.
