🇷🇺 President Putin says ☠ Wagner PMC mutiny is ‘treason’:

Russian President Vladimir Putin says an “armed mutiny” by the Wagner Group mercenary force was treason, and that anyone who had taken up arms against the Russian military would be punished.

Speaking during an emergency televised addressed, Putin said he would do everything to protect Russia, and that “decisive action” would be taken to stabilise the situation in Rostov-on-Don, a southern city where Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said his forces had taken control of all military installations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin appealed to Wagner forces in an address Saturday.

"I appeal to those pushed into the provocation of a military rebellion," he said.

Putin added that at this time, "we require unity, consolidation, and responsibility."

"Those who carry deliberately on a path of treason, preparing an armed rebellion when you were preparing terrorist attacks, will be punished," Putin said.

The Russian President said, "any internal turmoil is a deadly threat to our statehood for us as a nation; it is a blow to Russia for our people and our actions to protect our homeland. Such a threat will face a severe response."

Moscow declares counterterrorism state of emergency:

The authorities in Moscow and the surrounding area say they have declared a counterterrorism state of emergency
against the background of the armed uprising by Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.

“In order to prevent possible terrorist attacks in the city and Moscow region, a regime of counterterrorism operations has been established,” Russia’s National Antiterrorism Committee said.

Security has been tightened in Moscow. The Voronezh region in southwestern Russia, which borders Ukraine, also declared this type of state of emergency.

The counterterrorism state of emergency allows the Russian authorities to increase controls and facilitate the arrest of
citizens. Telephone calls can also be tapped more frequently.

Full address by President Putin to the Nation in regards to the military coup by Wagner PMC:

"I appeal to the citizens of Russia, to the personnel of the Armed Forces, law enforcement and security services, fighters and commanders currently fighting on their positions, repelling the enemy attacks, doing it heroically.

I spoke to the commanders in all directions last night. I appeal also to those who were deceptively pulled into the criminal adventure, pushed towards a serious crime of an armed mutiny.

Russia today is leading the most difficult war for its future, repelling the aggression of neo-nazis and their handlers. Against us, the whole military, economical and information machines of the West are turned.

We fight for the lives and security of our people. For our sovereignty and independence. The right to remain Russia, a state with 1000 years of history.

It’s a battle where the fate of our people is decided requires uniting of all our forces, unity, consolidation and responsibility. Everything else hat weakens us must be shoved to the side.

Our external enemies are using any arguments to undermine us from within. Thus, actions splitting our unity is a betrayal of our people, our combat brothers who fight now at the frontline. It’s a strike in the back of our country and our people.

Exactly this strike was dealt in 1917 when the country was in WW1, but its victory was stolen. Intrigues, and arguments behind the army’s back turned out to be the greatest catastrophe, destruction of the army and the state, loss of huge territories, resulting in a tragedy and a civil war.

Russians were killing Russians, brothers killing brothers. But the beneficiaries were various political chevaliers of fortune and foreign powers who divided the country, and tore it into parts. We will not let this happen.

We will protect our people and state from any threats, including internal betrayal. What we’re facing is exactly internal betrayal. Extraordinary ambitions and personal interests led to treason. Treason of their own country and people and of the case that fighters of Wagner were dying for alongside our soldiers.

Heroes who liberated Soledar and Artemivsk, towns and cities of the Donbas. They fought and were giving lives to Novorossiya and the unity of the Russian world. Their name and glory were also betrayed by those who are trying to organise the mutiny, pushing the country into anarchy and brother-killing, to a defeat, in the end, and capitulation.

Repeat: any internal mutiny is a deadly threat to our state, to us as a nation. It’s a strike against our nation, our people. And our actions to defend the fatherland from such a threat will be brutal.

Anyone who consciously went on the path of betrayal, who prepared the armed mutiny, went on the path of blackmail and terrorist actions, will take an inevitable punishment.

They will answer to the law and our people. The Armed Forces and other departments were properly instructed. Extra anti-terrorist measures are now being implemented in Moscow, Moscow region, and a number of other regions.

Decisive actions will be taken to stabilise the situation in Rostov-on-Don. It remains difficult. The operation of civilian and military control departments is practically blocked.

As a President of Russia and the Supreme Commander, as a citizen of Russia, I will do everything to defend the country, protect the Constitution, lives and safety, liberty of the citizens.

Those who prepared the military mutiny, who raise weapons against combat brothers, have betrayed Russia, and will pay for this. And those who are being pulled into the crime, I’m asking to not make this crucial, tragic, unrepeatable mistake. Do the one right choice - stop participating in criminal actions.

I believe that we will defend and preserve what’s sacred for us. And together with the motherland, we will overcome all challenges, and become even stronger.

From the day Russia attacked Ukraine and some Russians started protesting....I knew that would be a long war which may also affect members of the Kremlin which includes Putin and their popularity among Russians

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Putin should use the nuclear weapon he has been bragging about 🤣🤣🤣


Blood will start flowing in Russia anytime soon. 🩸🩸🩸🩸

I don't know what is actually happening in Russia but all I know is that this clearly shows that the invasion of Ukraine was a mistake and Putin was not well informed. The infighting will give Putin a clear understanding of things, though that wagner leader is a goner. This is a stab on the back, he should have table his griavince through another channel not by threatening the federation army.


Both US and NATO and Russia can go to hell. Over billions of people hardly eat all over the world but they contribute billions up on billions to finance a war but cannot feed their people. Rubbish

You can't fight the government and win,
The Wagner group should know this and back down...

Logically speaking, this is going to be a long war.

I pray it doesn't spread to our darling country Nigeria

The KGB will take care of this , Putin's Chef talks too much .. if you can't watch truck load of corpse and not be moved by emotions or be able to bottle your emotions in the presence of your troop , you are not fit to be Military Chief ..
Anyway I am happy because the Wenger group will be debowed . I know Putin doesn't condole nonsense.
He should freeze their funding and seize their headquarters.
Putin Chef has no where to hide , Zelenskyy must be very happy right now .

hmm
Putin will be demystified soon

Karma is a bitch. If you over beat a drum, na tear it go tear, Russia overstayed in Ukraine

Stupid man,the beginning of his down fall

Make he strike them with Nuclear weapon na shebi he don dey make Noise for over 1yr....



Test the Nuclear weapon on your people to see if is effective...

This is what absolute dictators always get when they stretch their absolutism on political power too much. Schaffeinberg attempted the same thing in the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in the Wolfberg.

@Op, putin never mentioned the name "Wagner"...he deliberately ommited it, nd instead praised the wagner dead as Russian heroes who are recognised...

he knows theur threat is so real

Putin is finished his pride will consume him

Putin was never a millitary general. He doesn't understand war.

RA would now be fighting in the 2 fronts. His speech shows frustration.

The downfall of Putin is about to hit him hard, now the outer enemies will hit him hard and this will bring distraction towards the war against Ukraine. Ukrainian prayer is about to be answered

The act of Treason is a very serious offence, the kremlin wont take it lightly unlike Nigeria that allows anything and pardon anything smh

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

cold, calm and highly calculative.

people like this hardly fail in their quest.

Oppression has its limit. Putin oppression of Ukraine. This is the same thing we are talking about of the oppression of Igbos in Nigeria.

It is a dicey situation, but the Russia Army obviously knows Putin's Chef cannot be trusted, hence the limited supply of arms and ammunitions . Putin's Chef is just bragging, he has no strategy other than penting up emotions, I will be damned if he thinks he can get loyalty from his 40000 convicts whose only motive for fighting is to get Amensty from the Russian state.

And you think all Russian soldiers are loyal to Putin?
There would be always betrayal. Putin knows what's up.. it shows in his speech.
