TL;DR: This is insane! The head of the Wagner Group, a private military company, initiates a coup against the Russian Federation. The aim is to remove the Russian Defense Minister and the Chief of the General Staff.

The Russian Ministry of Defense responds by launching a criminal investigation against the Wagner Group and taking measures to prevent the coup.
