Putin expresses defiance against attempted Wagner rebellion
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered his first public remarks after the Wagner Group attempted to march to Moscow and overthrow the government.
In a pre-recorded video statement, Putin thanked the Russians for their endurance, solidarity and patriotism during the ordeal and claimed that any blackmail attempt was doomed to fail.
Putin said an armed rebellion would have been suppressed.
"The organizers of the rebellion, betraying their country, their people, betrayed those who were drawn into the crime. They lied to them, pushed them to death, under fire, to shoot at their own," Putin said.
The Russian president noted that the majority of Wagner fighters were "patriots."
"I thank those soldiers and commanders of the Wagner Group who made the only right decision," Putin said. "They did not go to fratricidal bloodshed, they stopped at the last line."
Putin offered Wagner Group members who participated in the rebellion the option of joining the defense ministry or other law enforcement agencies or returning home.

Ukraine appeals to Wagner troops
In light of the presumed death of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian Volunteer Corps, a group of Russians fighting alongside the Ukrainian Armed Forces, released a video appealing to the PMC's members.
The statement offered them "a difficult but rather logical choice: either subjugate themselves to the Russian Ministry of Defense in the service of the killers of their commanders, or save their honor and take revenge on their executioners, going over to the side of Ukraine."
"If you have not committed war crimes on the territory of Ukraine, then we invite you to join our ranks," the statement said.
The wider Ukrainian military has not commented on the offer or whether any theoretical defections would in fact be supported.
