Vladimir Putin says leaders of Wagner rebellion will be punished despite 'deal' with Yevgeny Prigozhin
will be “brought to justice” – despite a widely-reported deal allowing Yevgeny Prigozhin to leave Russia unharmed.
He commended those within Russia who kept their “firm support of the constitutional order” and warned “any kind of blackmail is doomed to fail”, adding: “The special services have maintained their oath to the country, and the courage of these bodies have saved Russia. The Kremlin previously said it had struck a deal for the Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin to move to Belarus and receive amnesty, along with his soldiers. There was no confirmation of his whereabouts on Monday, although a Russian news channel reported that he was seen at a hotel in the Belarusian capital, Minsk.
