LIVE | Vladimir Putin Vows To Defend Russia As Prigozhin Leads Armed Rebellion | Watch

Russian President Vladimir Putin lashed out at the Wagner Group, which has launched an armed rebellion against the Russian Defence Ministry. Putin said the mercenaries had "betrayed Russia and will answer for it." Putin added that this is the time for the entire country to be united. 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.

Putin looks VERY VERY MAD! Over the many years I've seen him speak this is probably the most visibly angered I've seen him yet!
RIP Prigozhin.

"Exorbitant ambition and personal interest lead to treason. "Pregozin is gone.

[steveprocter]

He does not mention Prigozhin by name. He heaps praise on the Wagner 'warriors' and asks them to turn in their leader. There is no mention of Rostov or Voronezh having been occupied by Wagner troops.

No one is Greater than Russia ... RIP prigozhin .... Go Putin teach this bastard a lesson
God bless Russia ... 🇷🇺❤

[sudheepkayiath]

Prigozhin should be ashamed for his choices he made by betraying his own motherland. Most of us cheered for him & his PMC Wagner few days back for his efforts to win Bakmut, he lost all the support, love and respect in our eyes for attacking Russia for his personal interests. Should have been part of a war against enemies who were a threat to mother Russia but he bacame a threat within.

Condemne PMC Wagner for your worst actuons.

Glory to Russia 🇷🇺 always be

Prigozin is dirty...he doesnt have russia at heart only position crazy

[nilykadete]

President Putin has well said, anyone who betrayed their country should be punish and it should be capital punishment.

God Bless Russia and his people.

[russellforster]

could Prigozhin be on the payroll of the same culprits who started all the wars of the 21st century?

[Trendithings]

If that prigozhin was truly intelligent he will understand that a divided house is more easily conquered.

[gasperstarina]

This look on his face, he will dismentall Prigozhin

[thebigone]

Ptigozin didn't want to sign the papers so wagner is under Russian army and he wanted to be ministry of defence 😅😅😅

RIP Yevgeny Prigozhin in advance. In what senses you could think of betraying Vladimir Putin ?

[malihehsaraj]

Puttin God bless you
the guy was stopped 🇷🇺🇷🇺

[thomasngetich]

Wow to Prigozin
He will be crushed
Prigozin thought he could outshine his master now he must face his Waterloo

[thomasngetich]

The Russian people will stand with their state with Putin and not a Gun for hire
Prigozin was fighting for money and not because he is a patriot
Putin payed him all his dues he has served his purpose ... expendable
Putin can build another Wagner

[terminator]

Witch state pay Prigozhin ? I was always suspicious about his actions in Bakhmut ...

[deborahdean]

I always wondered why Russia tolerated Wagner group .

[mera]

Long Live Putin & Mother Russia USSR 🇷🇺 ❤
