The leader ofRussia's Wagner mercenary group said Monday that his aborted rebellion march on Moscow over the weekend had exposed "very serious security problems" inRussia, while insisting he did not want to overthrow President Vladimir Putin.Prigozhin broke his silence in a Telegram audio message two days after staging the dramatic armed rebellion that saw his fighters approaching Moscow in columns.The private army chief did not reveal his location but is reported to move to Belarus, after a deal brokered by Minsk to end the mutiny.Prigozhin said his revolt was aimed at saving his embattled mercenary outfit and bringing to justiceRussia's military leadership who made "huge mistakes" during the Ukraine campaign."We went to demonstrate our protest and not to overthrow power in the country," Prigozhin said.But he said the mutiny which saw armed fighters speed through southernRussiaen route to Moscow exposed major security issues.Wagner's convoy stopped 200 kilometers (125 miles) short of Moscow and had "blocked all military infrastructure" including air bases along its path, Prigozhin said.He claimed the group had support from locals along the way."In Russian towns, civilians met us with Russian flags and the symbols of Wagner," Prigozhin said."They were all happy when we passed through."Prigozhin said Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko offered ways in which Wagner could continue to operate and thereby ended the rebellion."Lukashenko held out his hand and offered to find solutions for the continuation of the work of the Wagner private military company in a legal jurisdiction," Prigozhin said.The Wagner chief said that he had sent two columns intoRussia: one to the city of Rostov-on-Don, which occupied the local army headquarters, and the second one to Moscow.He halted the rebellion after the column approaching Moscow "did reconnaissance of the area and it was obvious that at that moment a lot of blood will be shed."He claimed that nobody was killed "on the ground" during the march but admitted casualties in the air."We regret that we were forced to hit on aviation, but they dropped bombs and hit us with rocket fire," he said.He said that several Wagner fighters were injured and claimed that two soldiers who had joined the rebellion "out of their own will" were killed.Prigozhin said Wagner fighters were aware of the "end aim" of the march and were "not forced" to join.He has claimed to have got as close as 200 kilometers from Moscow.
