Former President Donald Trump called the conflict between the Russian military and Wagner mercenaries a “big mess” on Saturday.

Wagner mercenary group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin called for an armed uprising against Russia’s military leaders, after alleging that Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, had ordered an attack, killing some 2,000 Wagner soldiers at their field camps in Ukraine.
