Wagner Group leader accused of mutiny by Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the military to suppress a rebellion led by Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin, citing betrayal and a threat to his nation. Putin promised harsh consequences for the organizers of the operation and accused them of choosing the path of blackmail and terrorist methods. Prigozhin had claimed that a Wagner camp in Ukraine had been attacked "from the rear," resulting in "many victims," and accused the Russian military of carrying out the strike, but Russia's Defense Ministry denied the allegations.
