Biden emphasized the US and its allies had "nothing to do" with Saturday's events in Russia. On Monday, US President Joe Biden said he'd instructed members of his national security team to "prepare for a range of scenarios" as the rebellion was underway.
US response to "armed rebellion": As Russia faced a shocking rebellion, White House officials reached out to foreign and domestic oil producers about the situation unfolding in one of the world’s leading oil powers, a US official told CNN.The Wagner boss said the Russian Defense Ministry had planned for the Wagner private military group to "cease to exist" starting on July 1. Wagner chief explains his reasoning: Earlier on Monday, Prigozhin broke his silence in an audio message, saying he called off the march to prevent Russian bloodshed and that the rising was a protest rather than an attempt to topple the government.Putin also spoke with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan about the rebellion, according to the Kremlin. Prigozhin had previously accused Shoigu and Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, of not giving his forces ammunition and was critical of their handling of the conflict in Ukraine. Putin meets with top officials after insurrection: Putin held a meeting with the heads of security agencies, including Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday night, according to state media RIA Novosti.Here are the latest headlines on the rebellion and Russia's war in Ukraine: Prigozhin remains under investigation following the rebellion, according to a source at Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office. The Wagner march was called off when a supposed deal was struck that would see Prigozhin move to Belarus. He did not mention Prigozhin by name, but he accused “the organizers of the rebellion” of “betraying their country, their people, (and) also betrayed those who were drawn into the crime.” Putin thanked the Wagner fighters who made the "right decision" and halted their advance. He said those fighters would have the "opportunity to continue serving Russia by entering into a contract with the Ministry of Defense or other law enforcement agencies or to return to your family and friends. Putin's last address to the nation was on Saturday as Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his forces launched their march toward Moscow. In the aftermath of Saturday's insurrection by the Wagner Group, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that the " armed rebellion would have been suppressed anyway."
