'No one is safe from Russian justice': Putin ally's stark warning after Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin retreats to Belarus following mutiny
Yevgeny Popov, a deputy in the United Russia party, told LBC's Andrew Marr that "no one is safe from Russian justice", after Prigozhin retreated to Belarus following the uprising on Saturday.
"They should be punished. But first of all we should and must follow the president’s decision in this case. "Yes it was a crisis situation during the weekend and we’ve been the witnesses to a mutiny, and of course it was difficult to understand why Prigozhin did it." He said that the aim of the march was not to bring down Vladimir Putin's regime, but to show the group's displeasure at the decision.
"The soldiers who decided that they were ready to move to the regulart army, moved on. But this was a very small amount."
