“Despite differences in programs and ideologies, we all were united in protecting citizens and the country’s interests. We immediately met, discussed the situation, and everyone expressed their rejection,” Volodin stressed.
The State Duma speaker stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin did “something probably impossible.” He avoided the bloodshed, and his words reached the Wagner fighters.

The Russian leader described the actions as a criminal adventure, a stab in Russia’s back, and a betrayal.
