Russian authorities have offered amnesty to Wagner mercenaries who agree to discard their arms, a lawmaker from the State Duma told Russian state media TASS on Saturday.
"Of course, there is a chance to lay down arms and avoid punishment, and the President also talked about this", the head of the State Duma Committee on State Construction, Pavel Krasheninnikov, told TASS.
"We know that there are many people among them who have proven themselves in the special military operation, and there is respect for them", he said, referring to Russia's term for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. "In order not to waste it, you need to do it as soon as possible and not succumb to provocations from the leadership of the rebels".
Krasheninnikov added that Putin "spoke in a comprehensive manner", and said that it's key that this information gets through to them.
