🔴 Putin held talks with the Wagner boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and his commanders in Moscow only days after the group’s armed mutiny attempt in June, the Kremlin has said
Mr Peskov added that Mr Putin had listened to the commanders’ explanations of what had happened and offered them further options for employment and combat.
“The commanders outlined their version of what happened [on the day of the mutiny]. They emphasised that they are staunch supporters and soldiers of the head of state and the supreme commander-in-chief. They also said that they are ready to continue fighting for the motherland,” Mr Peskov said.
Both Mr Shoigu and Mr Gerasimov have been seen on state television since the uprising, with Mr Gerasimov been seen for the first time since the mutiny only today. According to the Russian defence ministry, Mr Gerasimov was at a meeting on Sunday, speaking to top generals and giving orders, including to the head of military intelligence.
“The chief of the general staff of the armed forces of the Russian federation, army General Valery Gerasimov, set a task to the chief of the main intelligence Directorate and those responsible for the command post of the combined group to organise systematic work to identify storage and training sites, as well as the launch positions of S-200 missiles and similar enemy strike weapons, and plan their pre-emptive defeat,” the defence ministry said.
