Russian President Vladimir Putin and Yevgeny Prigozhin held a lengthy meeting on June 29, days after the Wagner Group boss led an uprising against Russia's military leadership, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Peskov's apparent confirmation of their meeting on Monday comes after French publication Libération reported, citing French intelligence, that Prigozhin had met Putin at the Kremlin on July 1, a week after the Wagner Group's failed June 24 mutiny.
"Indeed, the president had such a meeting, he invited 35 people to it—all the commanders of the detachments and the management of the [Wagner Group], including Prigozhin himself. This meeting took place in the Kremlin on June 29, it lasted almost three hours," said Peskov
