  Yevgeny Prigozhin on Monday laid out his reasons for halting Wagner's "March for Justice" in his first public statement following his failed "mutiny.""We went to demonstrate our protest and not to overthrow the government in the country," Prigozhin said in an audio rant posted to Telegram. Via WarTranslated:  Wagner forces reportedly shot down multiple helicopters -- Russian nationalists are claiming it was the deadliest day for the Russian Airforce of the whole war -- but I guess Prigozhin is trying to get around that by claiming Wagner were acting in self-defense and no soldiers "died on the ground." Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the "mutiny" attempt in a speech on Monday, which the pro-Ukraine Twitter user WarTranslated summarized:  I see a lot of Russian nationalists ragging on Putin for not going hard enough against Prigozhin (Strelkov said again on Telegram Prigozhin should be hung) but when the "March" was going down and Russian soldiers were laying down their arms and letting Wagner pass through Rostov on the way to Moscow, Wagner seemed unstoppable (Anne Applebaum was fantasizing about "Putin facing his Czar Nicholas II moment" [where Bolshevik terrorists murdered his entire family]). Diffusing this situation and putting down Prigozhin's "mutiny" was a feat in itself.
