President Biden and congressional leaders are keeping close tabs on the ongoing situation in Russia after Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his mercenary forces began to march on Moscow, before a truce was negotiated Saturday. Christina Ruffini reports from Washington.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the powerful mercenary leader, was a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, earning the moniker "Putin's chef." He rose from criminal convict in the 1980s, to well-connected Kremlin caterer in the 2000s. That all changed this week when he turned his forces against the Kremlin, marching on Moscow before a peace deal was brokered. Ramy Inocencio has more.
