Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the nation for the first time since a short-lived armed revolt by the Wagner mercenary group on Saturday. The revolt was led by Yevgeny Prigozhin and focused on Russia's military brass, and President Joe Biden said the US and its allies had strongly communicated to the Kremlin that they were not involved. Putin thanked the Russian people for their support and did not offer any clarity about his planned response to the revolt, which posed the biggest challenge to his rule in more than 20 years.
