Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke out on Tuesday about the Wagner Group’s failed armed rebellion, saying that the country avoided near “civil war."
The mercenary group, organized by paramilitary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, launched a brief mutiny against the country’s leadership over the weekend. Both sides came to a truce on Saturday with the help of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.Putin said most Russians did not support the Wagner Group’s revolt against the Kremlin, the Hill reported.
“Those who were drawn into the mutiny saw that the army and the people were not with them,” said Putin.Prigozhin led a rebellion against Putin after fighting in Ukraine for over a year, claiming his soldiers were mistreated by the Kremlin. The Wagner Group was largely responsible for many of Russia’s victories against Ukraine.The Russian president previously addressed his country on Monday in a video, in which he condemned the soldiers who betrayed the country and thanked those who stood down.
