Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has said he didn’t target Putin when he declared his troops would march on Moscow.
“We didn’t march to overthrow Russia’s leadership,” Prigozhin said in a 11-minute audio message released today.
He said his men headed to Moscow to “hold to account” those leaders he blamed for “mistakes” in the Ukraine war.
He says no-one from Wagner agreed to sign a contract with the defense ministry and that his mercenary firm was bound to cease existence on 1 July.
