RIA Novosti reports that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has commented on the mutiny organized by Wagner Group military cartel founder Yevgeny Prigozhin, saying that the incident did not affect the troops.
“These plans failed primarily because the personnel of the Armed Forces showed loyalty to their oath and military duty. The provocation did not affect the actions of the troops. The servicemen courageously and selflessly continued to carry out the tasks assigned to them,” Shoigu said.
