Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced, on Monday, that Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with the commander of the Wagner Military Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, on June 29, 5 days after the armed rebellion that Prigozhin led against the Russian military leadership on June 24.

Peskov said in a press statement that the meeting was attended by 35 people, according to the "TASS" agency.

Prigozhin has said the mutiny was not aimed at overthrowing the government but at “bringing to justice” the army and defense chiefs for what he called their blunders and unprofessional actions in Ukraine.
