(AP) LIVE: WAR IN UKRAINE Putin calls on Wagner group to halt ‘rebellion,’ says organizers will be punished A Russian general accused Yevgeniy Prigozhin of inciting a coup, which the Wagner chief has denied. By Robyn Dixon, Dalton Bennett, Mary Ilyushina, Andrew Jeong and Victoria Bisset ●  Read more » Here’s what to know Prigozhin on late Friday called for Russians to join Wagner’s campaign against Russia’s military leadership, after claiming that a Wagner camp in Ukraine had been attacked “from the rear” by Russia’s military. He also said he would march on Moscow unless he could confront his enemies in Russia’s Ministry of Defense. Russia’s Defense Ministry denied the accusations in a Telegram post and state media suggested video of the strike had been staged. Putin promised harsh consequences for the organizers of Wagner’s Saturday operation: “Everyone who deliberately embarked on the path of betrayal, who prepared an armed rebellion, chose the path of blackmail and terrorist methods — they will suffer inevitable punishment,” Putin said in a five-minute speech. Russian forces launched one of their biggest overnight missile barrages in weeks against Ukrainian cities early Saturday morning, firing some 51 cruise missiles and two self-destructing drones, Ukraine’s air force said in a Telegram post. 1 min ago   Wagner mercenary boss faces arrest over ‘incitement to armed rebellion’ By Robyn Dixon and Mary Ilyushina ●  Read more »   What the search for the Titan submersible could cost — and who will pay for it By Alex Horton and Dan Lamothe ●  Read more »   Whistleblower accounts show Hunter Biden’s laptop had little role in IRS probe By Devlin Barrett and Matt Viser ●  Read more »
