Biden emphasized the US and its allies had "nothing to do" with Saturday's events in Russia. On Monday, US President Joe Biden said he'd instructed members of his national security team to "prepare for a range of scenarios" as the rebellion was underway. US response to "armed rebellion": As Russia faced a shocking rebellion, White House officials reached out to foreign and domestic oil producers about the situation unfolding in one of the world’s leading oil powers, a US official told CNN.The Wagner boss said the Russian Defense Ministry had planned for the Wagner private military group to "cease to exist" starting on July 1. Wagner chief explains his reasoning: Earlier on Monday, Prigozhin broke his silence in an audio message, saying he called off the march to prevent Russian bloodshed and that the rising was a protest rather than an attempt to topple the government.Putin also spoke with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan about the rebellion, according to the Kremlin. Prigozhin had previously accused Shoigu and Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, of not giving his forces ammunition and was critical of their handling of the conflict in Ukraine. Putin meets with top officials after insurrection: Putin held a meeting with the heads of security agencies, including Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday night, according to state media RIA Novosti.Here are the latest headlines on the rebellion and Russia's war in Ukraine: Prigozhin remains under investigation following the rebellion, according to a source at Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office. The Wagner march was called off when a supposed deal was struck that would see Prigozhin move to Belarus. He did not mention Prigozhin by name, but he accused “the organizers of the rebellion” of “betraying their country, their people, (and) also betrayed those who were drawn into the crime.” Putin thanked the Wagner fighters who made the "right decision" and halted their advance. He said those fighters would have the "opportunity to continue serving Russia by entering into a contract with the Ministry of Defense or other law enforcement agencies or to return to your family and friends. Putin's last address to the nation was on Saturday as Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his forces launched their march toward Moscow. International Humanitarian Law is a subset of Public International Law and consists largely of treaties, decisions from international tribunals, and additional resources produced by NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and INGOS (international non-governmental organizations).In the aftermath of Saturday's insurrection by the Wagner Group, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that the " armed rebellion would have been suppressed anyway." In 1949, during the aftermath of World War II, the Geneva Conventions established rules providing specific protections for those not taking part in the hostilities, such as civilians, aid workers, wounded soldiers, and prisoners of war. These have been supplemented by additional agreements in the years since. The most significant early efforts were the First Hague Conference in 1899 and the Second Hague Conference in 1907, which resulted in the Hague Conventions, which governed the conduct of warfare. The law of warfare existed historically as a set of practices developed over hundreds of years, but in the mid-19th century states began to codify the law into treaties. It protects persons who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities and restricts the means and methods of warfare.” See International Committee of the Red Cross, What is International Humanitarian Law (July 2004), available as a PDF here. International Humanitarian Law, also known as the Law of War or the Law of Armed Conflict, is generally defined as “a set of rules which seek, for humanitarian reasons, to limit the effects of armed conflict.
