Despite supposedly possessing information about Wagner Group and its founder preparing to mutiny, US intelligence officials reportedly opted to keep quiet due to concerns that Moscow might otherwise « accuse » them of trying to orchestrate a coup.
US intelligence officials have been well aware of PMC Wagner Group’s head Yevgeny Prigozhin preparing to launch his mutiny and armed insurrection, US media report citing their sources.According to one media outlet, US congressional leaders were briefed earlier this week by intelligence officials on Wagner’s military buildup and movements that apparently preceded their march on Russian cities this weekend.One source reportedly said that it was hard to discern at the time where Prigozhin would send his men and how serious he was with his threats against Russian military officials.
