Putin says Wagner fighters may join the army, go home or move to Belarus after the failed mutiny

Confirmedon an admission by the acting party plus an independent origin: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.

In his first address since the revolt, Putin thanked Russians for their unity, called Wagner's actions criminal acts and a betrayal, credited Lukashenko with a peaceful resolution and said Russia's enemies in Kyiv and the West wanted Russian soldiers to kill each other. He said fighters could sign with the defence ministry, return home or go to Belarus. Prigozhin said in an audio message the same day that the march aimed to save Wagner from destruction, not to overthrow the government.
