“Putin is speaking. He thanks Russians for their restraint, unity, and patriotism. “Any blackmail and unrest is doomed to fail.””
“Putin says the uprising was “doomed to fail” and that “its organizers, even though they lost their sense of right and wrong, couldn’t have failed to realize that.”
He also seems say Ukraine was involved somehow and calls the revolt “revenge for their failed counteroffensive””
“Putin ranted about Wagner’s treason a bit more and then... it cut out?
He didn’t actually announce anything?
What the F????”
“Russian pro-war Telegram channels were hyping this up like Putin was going to fire Shoigu or annex Belarus.
The main news was Putin said Wagner’s fighters should either sign up with MOD, go home, or go to Belarus.
Looks like the standoff is not exactly resolved just yet”

Just like Putin, Lukashenko also announces that he will give “an important speech” tonight.
