Vladimir Putin’s defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, made his first public remarks on the mutiny, claiming that the effort failed because “the armed forces showed loyalty to the oath and military duty.”
—whom Prigozhin specifically sought to remove from power—made his first public remarks on the mutiny, claiming that the effort failed because “the armed forces showed loyalty to the oath and military duty.” Thanking them “for their conscientious service,” the 68-year-old commander downplayed Prigozhin’s would-be revolt, which was motivated by the Wagner leader’s long-standing feud with Shoigu over a lack of support for his men and the war cause.
Things reached a perilous head between the rivals late last month, when Prigozhin objected to Shoigu’s desire to integrate his state-funded paramilitary organization into the regular military, and grew furious over Russian forces attacking his battalion—an allegation that has yet to be corroborated. Following the occupation of the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, Prigozhin’s unit marched on Moscow, only to abruptly halt that campaign 120 miles from the country’s capital.
