BREAKING: Russian Warlord Sends World A Message After Putin Truce Prevents Possible Civil War

by

Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin resurfaced for the first time since launching a brief rebellion against Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, posting an 11-minute voice recording to social media. The march toward Moscow was intended to be a protest against the prosecution of the war in Ukraine and not aimed at regime change in Russia, Prigozhin said, according to Reuters.

Prigozhin shocked the world this weekend when he turned his private military group against Russian forces, taking control of Russian military bases and beginning the march. The warlord relented on Saturday after Belarus held negotiations between the two sides.

The warlord says in the recording, “We started our march due to injustice. We showed no aggression, but we were hit by missiles and helicopters. This was the trigger.”

He continued, “We showed a master-class on how February 24, 2022 had to look. We turned around to avoid spilling the blood of Russian soldiers. We regret that we had to hit Russian aviation.”

Fox News further reported:

The Kremlin said it made a deal in which the mercenary chief will move to Belarus and he and his soldiers will receive an amnesty.

The mutiny was the biggest challenge to Putin in more than 20 years.

Prigozhin’s statement offered no clues as to his current whereabouts, and it is not clear whether he has traveled to Belarus.

OSINTdefender tweeted Monday, “The Leader of the Wagner PMC Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin has spoken for the first time since his attempted ‘Coup’ against the Russian Ministry of Defense stating, ‘Despite the fact that we did not show any Aggression, a Missile Attack was launched on us. 30 Fighters were Killed and others were Injured. This served as a trigger for our Immediate Advance. One of the Columns went to Rostov, the other towards Moscow. Was not a single Soldier was Killed on the Ground. We regret that we had to Strike at Aircraft, but they Attacked us with Bombs. We traveled 780 km, this is 200km to Moscow and we Blocked all Military Bases and Airfields along the way.

Among the PMC Fighters, there are several Wounded and 2 Dead – among them Employees of the Ministry of Defense that decided to join our Cause.
