Chechen leader condemns Wagner's actions
"No matter what tasks you are assigned, no matter what promises you are made, the security of the state and the cohesion of Russian society are above all at this moment! Look at how our enemies in the West are exploiting the situation....These are the foreseeable consequences of Prigozhin's treacherous rebellion," Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov wrote on Telegram, sending a message to Wagner fighters.

"I have repeatedly warned that conflict is not the time to air personal grievances and settle disputes at home," he added. " The home front must always be stable and reliable. Imagine how those in the trenches feel now, with the enemy in front and a dangerous rebellion behind them."
He also said he fully supported the speech that President Putin gave earlier.
" This is a military uprising! There are no excuses for such actions! I fully support every word of President Putin," Kadyrov said. "What is happening is not an ultimatum to the Defense Ministry . This is a challenge to the Russian state and to counter this challenge, everyone needs to unite around the national leadership, from the army, security forces, governors to ordinary people."
"The rebellion must be quelled and if this requires harsh measures, we are ready!", he stressed, concluding the message.
