The group’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin wanted the arrest of Russian defence ministry officials. He accused them of incompetence and ordering attacks on his fighters. US media reports say Russia’s FSB security service warned armed forces chief of the general staff, Valery Gerasimov about Prigozhin’s planned rebellion, giving him time to avoid capture.
