In the televised speech, Putin strongly addressed the recent wave of riots and insubordination led by rebel fighters from the Wagner Group. He emphasized that the actions of these individuals are considered treason to the homeland and promised punishment for those involved in this “criminal adventure.”
Putin’s words were directed at those who, according to him, were “deceived into a criminal adventure,” without explicitly mentioning the Wagner mercenaries. The Russian leader stressed that the future of Russia is at stake, classifying the actions of the mutineers as a “stab in the back.”
Although Putin avoided naming the head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, he referred to the high “ambitions” of some individuals that led to “high treason.” Putin’s speech made it clear that those who oppose and divide Russia will face the consequences of their actions.
In addition to the threat of punishment for those responsible for the riots, the Russian president issued a warning about the “inevitable punishment” for those seeking to divide Russian society. Putin emphasized that the nation cannot allow internal or external forces to provoke disunity and disturb public order.
To combat the instability, Putin announced the implementation of an anti-terrorism regime in the capital city of Moscow and various other regions. This measure aims to protect and preserve the integrity of the country, ensuring stability and security for the Russian population.
In the speech, Putin reassured the population that all necessary orders have already been given to deal with the current crisis. He reaffirmed his commitment to defend Russia from any internal or external threats. Despite mentioning various aspects related to the current situation, the Russian leader did not make a specific reference to the Wagner mercenaries and their leader, Prigozhin.
With the promise of punishment and the implementation of an anti-terrorism regime, Russia enters a period of increased vigilance as Putin’s government strives to restore order and stability in the country. The Russian nation attentively awaits the actions that will be taken by the government to confront this crisis and ensure internal cohesion amidst the challenges that lie ahead.
