Putin says Wagner PMC head Prigozhin "lost his sanity"

Vladimir Putin stated this in his address.

The Russian president spoke positively about the Wagner militants, calling them "patriots." He attributed their participation in the rebellion to the negative influence of the leadership.

Putin suggested that the Wagner fighters sign a contract with the Russian army, stop participating in a full-scale invasion, or go to Belarus.

At the same time, Yevgeny Prigozhin had earlier declared that the rebellion had succeeded. He claims that Belarusian dictator Lukashenka has allegedly offered a way to resolve the conflict between the Wagner PMC and the Russian Ministry of Defence, which provides for the work of security forces in "legal jurisdiction.”
