Wagner Group denies coup plot against Putin in Russia.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the commander of the Wagner mercenary army, has denied accusations made by Kremlin ally Igor Girkin that he is planning a military coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Prigozhin argued that his Wagner army is not large enough to start a mutiny and instead implied that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu could stage a coup. Wagner, Prigozhin said, simply wants reforms in Russia. US officials estimate that Wagner has about 50,000 soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
