Any blackmail, attempt to fix the internal chaos “is doomed to failure,” the head of the Kremlin stressed.
Most of the militants of PMC Wagner were “patriots of the motherland”, they were used “in the dark”. This is what Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised statement on Monday, June 26.
The Kremlin leader suggested that the Wagnerites sign a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry and other security services, go home or go to Belarus.
The President of the Russian Federation said that an armed rebellion would be “suppressed” in any case.
“I emphasize that from the very beginning of the events, all necessary decisions were immediately made to neutralize the threat that arose to protect the constitutional order, the lives and security of our citizens. The organizers of rebellion, despite the loss of adequacy, could not help but understand it. They all understood,” he said. .
Putin also thanked all the military and security forces who “stood in the way of the rebels and remained faithful to the oath,” as well as the Russian people for “the highest unity, for maintaining constitutional order.”
In addition, the President of the Russian Federation thanked the formal leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, for his efforts to resolve the situation peacefully.
“I thank the President of Belarus for his efforts and contribution to the peaceful resolution of the situation,” Putin said in a televised statement.
It will be recalled that on June 23, Prigozhin accused the Russian Ministry of Defense of hitting Wagner PMC camps and said he would join the fighters “to find out why lawlessness is happening in the country.”
On June 24, Prigogine staged a riot in Russia. Wagnerite columns moved to Moscow and shot down the planes and helicopters of the Russian army. But after negotiations with the formal leader of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, Prigozhin returned the units to field camps.
The leader of the Wagnerites said that his mercenaries came to Moscow not to overthrow the government of the Russian Federation, but to show their protest.
