"Putin's Secret Meeting with Wagner Leader and Fighters Revealed"

Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner mercenary group, and his commanders to discuss the recent mutiny attempt against the army's top brass. The meeting, which took place on June 29, involved 35 people and lasted three hours. Putin assessed Wagner's actions during the Special Military Operation in Ukraine and the events of the mutiny day. The commanders expressed their loyalty to Putin and readiness to continue fighting for the country. The mutiny, led by Prigozhin, was defused through a deal brokered by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. Putin has thanked the army and security services for averting chaos and civil war, and has so far rejected calls to dismiss the defense chiefs. Questions remain about the implementation of the agreement, as Prigozhin has returned to Russia and Wagner fighters have not relocated to Belarus as initially planned.
