US President Joe Biden assured that Westerners were “not involved” in Wagner’s rebellion in Russia, as Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs had implied.
The American ambassador in Moscow directly contacted the Russian authorities this weekend to assure them that the United States was “not involved” in the aborted rebellion of the Wagner group in Russia, the State Department said.
After the attempted rebellion led by Wagner on Saturday, his chief Evguéni Prigojine must go to Belarus and is still targeted by an investigation.
Vladimir Putin avoided a bloodbath on his territory, at the cost of a weakening of his authority, he who had promised to “punish” the traitors. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Choïgou, well criticized by Wagner’s chief, made his first television appearance since these events.
