Biden denies US and NATO involvement in Russian rebellion

President Biden stated that the US and NATO allies were not involved in the recent rebellion against Russian military leaders and President Putin. He directed his national security team to prepare for a range of scenarios and convened with key allies over a virtual video call. The ultimate outcome of the situation remains to be seen, but Biden emphasized the importance of staying completely coordinated with allies and partners. The rebellion was spearheaded by the paramilitary Wagner Group, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who accused Russian forces of deliberately shelling his troops.
