Wagner chief says he and his men won’t turn themselves in
The head of the Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin Saturday said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “deeply mistaken” in calling rebelling Wagner fighters “traitors” and ruled out surrender, Reuters reports.
“On treason of the motherland: the president is deeply wrong. We are patriots of our motherland,” Prigozhin, who launched a mutiny overnight, said in an audio message on Telegram.
“Nobody plans to turn themselves in at the request of the president, the FSB (security service) or anyone else.”
