Yevgeny Prigozhin said today that his mercenary company's march on Moscow, stopped in a last-minute deal, was a protest against Russia's handling of the war in Ukraine and not a coup.

The mercenary group didn’t want to fight the Russian military, he added, and only fired on Russian troops after they attacked Wagner fighters from the air. Nicknamed “Putin’s chef,” Prigozhin was once a close confidant of Putin, and the Wagner Group has been an indispensable part of Russia’s military engagements in Ukraine and other parts of the world, including Africa and South America.
President Biden said Monday that he was working with allies to coordinate their response to the situation in Russia and that the U.S. was not involved in the rebellion, saying the U.S. had “nothing to do with it.”Long before the weekend, the Wagner Group and Russia’s Ministry of Defense had been engaged in a war of words.in Ukraine and claimed that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and others withheld ammunition from Wagner fighters out of bitterness.
Wagner had been planning to return some vehicles to the Ministry of Defense when it came under fire from the Russian military, Prigozhin said, which allegedly left 30 Wagner fighters dead and prompted the march on Moscow.
