The United States and its allies had nothing to do with the mutiny undertaken by Yevgeny Prigozhin and the private Russian army known as the Wagner Group that occurred in Russia on June 23 and June 24, according to U.S. President Joe Biden.

The president commented on the short-lived insurrection during White House remarks on June 26, saying he had been in constant communication with U.S. allies over the weekend to prepare for a range of possible outcomes.
