The UK is closely monitoring the situation in Russia, said the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, after the Wagner head launched an armed rebellion against Moscow, and is prepared “for a range of scenarios”. Speaking in Nottingham, Sunak said: “It’s a situation that we’ve been analysing and monitoring for some time because we’re aware of the potentially destabilising impact of Russia’s illegal war on Ukraine and indeed the tensions between the Wagner group and the Putin regime.” The UK has been in touch with its allies, Sunak said, adding: “We’re completely coordinated in our response to this.”
