The Wagner Group's short-lived rebellion over the weekend was not intended to overthrow the Russian government, Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed in his first remarks since the uprising ended.
Driving the news: Prigozhin defended what he had called a "march of justice," saying it was intended to prevent the destruction of Wagner and protest against the way the war in Ukraine has been conducted, which he claimed to include a "huge number of mistakes."
