Slamming Moscow hours after the Wagner group launched a rebellion against Russian military facilities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that everyone who chooses the path of evil "destroys" himself.
Putin's statement comes after Yevgeny Prigozhin, the alleged head of the Wagner mercenary group, in a series of recordings released on social media on Saturday, announced that his troops had taken control of military facilities in two Russian cities.
Russian Ministry of Defence noted that Russia has already provided such assistance to all the fighters and commanders who applied for it. It further said that it would "guarantee everyone's safety."
