Wagner Group Leader Prigozhin Releases First Message Since The Mutiny

 

Reuters: 'We Didn't Want to Overthrow Government' - Prigozhin, in First Comments Since Mutiny 

Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Monday that a one-day mutiny by his Wagner force had been intended not to overthrow Russia's government but to register a protest over what he said was its ineffectual conduct of the war in Ukraine. 

In his first public comments since ending the mutiny late on Saturday, Prigozhin repeated his frequent claim that Wagner was the most effective fighting force in Russia "and even the world", and that it put to shame the units that Moscow had sent into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.
