Biden denies Western involvement in Russian turmoil and rebellion.

President Joe Biden said that neither the US nor its military allies had any role in the aborted mutiny in Russia, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin has 'no excuse' to blame the West. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told RT television Monday that Russian security services "are already looking into" whether there was any kind of involvement by the West in the brief revolt by Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner mercenary group. Biden said it is still “too early” to determine the reverberations of the attempted coup and he will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a second time soon.
