Quote from Prigozhin: "The president is sorely mistaken about the betrayal of the motherland. We are patriots of our homeland; we fought before and we are fighting now. All the fighters of the Wagner Group. And no one is going to give themselves up at the request of the president, the FSB or anyone else. We don’t want this country to go on living in corruption, deception and bureaucracy...

When we were told that we were at war with Ukraine, we went and fought.

But it turned out that ammunition, weapons and all the money invested in them are being stolen, and the officials are saving them for themselves, for the very event that has happened today, when someone marches on Moscow ["someone" is likely to be a reference to the Wagnerites – ed.]."

Reminder: Putin said that the Russian Federation is fighting for survival, and they are trying to "organise a rebellion" in the country.
