“West, Ukraine Wanted Russian Soldiers to Kill Each Other“, Putin Slams Organisers of Wagner Mutiny

In his first reaction since the Wagner short-lived mutiny ended, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the uprising was “doomed to fail”. In a brief televised address, Putin also said that the country showed “unity” in the face of a “treacherous” rebellion. Putin indirectly slammed Prigozhin, saying that the “organisers of the rebellion” “betrayed their country, people”. He also confirmed reports that Russian pilots were killed during the failed mutiny, paying tribute to the dead.
