Biden says the US, NATO had no involvement in the Wagner group insurrection in Russia

WASHIGNTON, June 27 (MENA) - US President Joe Biden declared the United States and NATO played no part in the Wagner mercenary group’s short-lived insurrection in Russia, calling the uprising "a struggle within the Russian system," The Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

"We had to make sure we gave Putin no excuse -- to blame this on the West or to blame this on NATO," Biden said.

'We made clear that we were not involved. We had nothing to do with it. This was part of a struggle within Russian system,' Biden said during remarks in the East Room of the White House.
