Wagner Mercenaries' Attempt to Seize Russian Nuclear Weapons Denied by Kremlin

The Kremlin has denied reports that fighters loyal to oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as the Wagner Group, were close to capturing a major stockpile of atomic weapons at a Russian military base. Ukraine's military intelligence claimed that the Wagner Group had reached the base, but the Kremlin spokesperson stated that they do not have information on the allegations and suggested they could be falsified. Concerns about the security of Russia's nuclear arsenal have been raised following the uprising by Prigozhin's group, with some analysts warning of the potential for a global crisis.
