Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin releases the first audio statement since an aborted armed rebellion he staged on Saturday, defending the move as a reaction to an attack on his force that killed some of his fighters.
“We started our march because of an injustice,” Prigozhin says in an 11-minute audio. He doesn’t offer any details as to where he is or what his future plans are.
