Russia Latest: Wagner Leader Prigozhin Speaks for First Time Following Mutiny - BBC News

Jun 26, 2023 | Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has just posted an 11-minute audio message, speaking for the first time since the weekend’s aborted Wagner Group rebellion. In the message, he says his men headed to Moscow to "hold to account" leaders he blamed for "mistakes" in the Ukraine war. He denied his "march for justice" was aimed at toppling Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In his first remarks since his revolt, Prigozhin claims he wasn’t trying to overthrow Putin.: The Kremlin had said an investigation into Yevgeny V. Prigozhin’s role in the brief uprising against Russia’s military command was dropped, but Russian news media reports say the case remains open. »
