Prigozhin he said: “23. In June we went to the “Justice March”. In a day we walked 200 kilometers before Moscow.”
According to him, during this time his soldiers “did not shed a single drop of blood.”
Also Prigozhin noted that “the moment has come when it can be blood”, and therefore “Wagner”, “understanding all responsibility”, turns his columns and goes in the opposite direction “to the field camps according to the plan”.
The comment was published on the Prigozhin Press Service telegram channel.
A few minutes before it became known that the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, with the agreement of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, held talks with Prigozhin. They went all day on June 24, and as a result, the founder of the Wagner PMC accepted Lukashenko's proposal to stop the movement of fighters participating in the insurgency across Russia and take further steps to de-escalate.
It should be noted that the parties agreed on the inadmissibility of unleashing bloody massacre in Russia and Lukashenko offered Prigozhin an acceptable solution to the situation with security guarantees for PMC fighters.
