Putin Met With PMC Wagner Chief, Other Commanders Last Week After Failed Mutiny
12:26 10.07.2023 (Updated: 13:21 10.07.2023) On the night of June 23, PMC Wagner seized an army headquarters in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. The armed mutiny was aborted thanks to the strenuous negotiations conducted all throughout Saturday, June 24, by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in coordination with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the head of PMC Wagner Evgeny Prigozhin and the group's commanders to discuss the events of June 24 in the Kremlin, said Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.
"Indeed, the president had such a meeting. He invited 35 people to it. All group commanders and company management, including Prigozhin. This meeting took place in the Kremlin on June 29 and lasted almost three hours," Peskov revealed at a briefing.
The details of the gathering are confidential, but both Putin and the Wagner commanders provided an assessment of the June 24 events, the spokesman noted.
"The only thing we can say is that the president gave an assessment of the company's actions at the front line during the special military operation, and also gave his assessment of the events of June 24. Putin listened to the explanations of the commanders and offered them further employment options," Peskov said.
According to the spokesman, at the meeting, the commanders assured Putin that they are his staunch supporters and are ready to continue fighting for their homeland.
The attempted armed mutiny
was launched by Wagner on the night of June 23 following Prigozhin's statement that the Russian Armed Forces had allegedly launched missile strikes on Wagner's camps.
This statement was refuted by both the Ministry of Defense and the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), which initiated a criminal case against Prigozhin for organizing an armed mutiny.
After the negotiation process, the armed mutiny
was abandoned, and the criminal case was dropped on June 27, since the FSB found that the mutineers had aborted their actions unequivocally aimed at committing a crime.
