Title: Shoigu: The Military Operation in Ukraine Was Not Affected by the "Wagner" Rebellion

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu indicated today, Monday, that "the short rebellion launched by fighters of the Wagner private military group did not affect the special military operation that his country is executing in Ukraine." In his first comment on the rebellion, Shoigu stated: "Its goal was to undermine the stability of Russia, but it failed due to the loyalty of the army." Shoigu's dismissal was among the demands of Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin during the rebellion.
