The pilots killed by the “Wagnerites” “performed their duty with honor,” the Russian president said.
The Russian military actually stopped the Russian civil war during the confrontation with the PMC mercenaries Wagner Evgeny Prigogine. This is what Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his speech to the military on the porch of the Faceted Chamber in the Kremlin on Tuesday, June 27.
“You really stopped the civil war, you acted clearly and properly,” Putin told the military.
He claims that during the Prigozhin rebellion, the Russian command did not need to remove combat units involved in the war in Ukraine.
Putin added that the pilots killed by “Wagnerites” “honorably fulfilled their duty.”
Recall that on June 24, Yevgeny Prigozhin staged a riot in Russia. Columns of “Wagnerites” moved to Moscow and shot down planes and helicopters of the Russian army. But after negotiations with the formal leader of Belarus, Prigozhin returned the units to the field camps.
Later, the leader of the “Wagnerites” said that his mercenaries came to Moscow not to overthrow the authorities of the Russian Federation, but to show their protest.
Yesterday, Putin made a televised statement in which he said that most of the militants of PMC Wagner were “patriots of the motherland”, they were used “in the dark.”
Today it became known that in Russia they stopped investigating the criminal case on the fact of Prigozhin’s armed rebellion.
