In a speech on Monday night, Vladimir Putin said that the Wagner group should be integrated into the Russian army. The West wants Russians to kill each other, Putin said.
At the beginning of his speech, the Russian president stressed that the insurgents would be punished. “All blackmail attempts to provoke internal unrest are doomed to failure. Everyone was unanimous and agreed on the main thing – responsibility for the fate of society. The organizers of the uprising betrayed the country, and with it those who were with them.”
However, Putin is apparently trying to keep Wagner’s troops on his side because he has declared that most of Wagner’s commanders and fighters are patriots. They would be used in secret against their brothers in arms.
And the head of state said he had taken measures to avoid major bloodshed. This also included allowing those who made a mistake to change their minds and see the consequences of doing so.
According to Putin, stability is possible thanks to the tremendous support of civil society that has come together during this difficult period.
