The American president Joe Biden today categorically denied any US involvement or their allies in the temporary mutiny of the Russian company mercenaries Wagner against the Kremlin. “We made it clear that we had no involvement, we had no involvement in it whatsoever”the US president said.
He confirmed he had a conference call with leaders of allied countries to make sure there would be a coordinated response. “They agreed with me that we had to make sure we didn’t give (Russian President) Putin any excuse to blame the West and blame NATO,” he said.
President Biden said he has directed his National Security Advisers to brief him “every passing hour” and to prepare for various scenarios, which he did not specify.
He also estimated that Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion is part of a wider power struggle in Russia, adding that “it is still too early to draw safe conclusions.”
He emphasized that, regardless of the developments in Russia, the United States will continue to support Ukraine and announced that he will have a new communication with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the next few hours.
