The Wall Street Journal quoted sources saying that the US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, had a phone conversation with Yuri Ushakov, President Vladimir Putin's advisor, after the commander of Wagner military group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, carried out the recent mutiny. 

The newspaper reported that Sullivan spoke with Ushakov to clarify that the United States of America had nothing to do with the insurgency, according to US and foreign officials.

It added that the goal was to keep the United States far from the incident and to avoid further escalation.

Moreover, Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations confirmed that a private plane on its way from Moscow to St. Petersburg crashed in the Tver Region on Wednesday, announcing that the incident killed all 10 people aboard.
