Vladimir Putin Gives TV Address Following Wagner Mutiny - BBC News

Jun 26, 2023 | Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a TV address following a short-lived rebellion from the Wagner mercenary group. He said steps were taken to avoid major bloodshed during the rebellion, but it took time. The Russian leader accused the organisers of the mutiny of wanting Russian society to "drown in blood". Wagner fighters can sign a contract with the Russian military, return to their families, or move to Belarus, President Putin said.
