Countries around the world were closely watching events unfolding in Russia on Saturday as Wagner rebels marched towards Moscow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Wagner mutiny showed Russia's "full-scale weakness".
Deputy Defence Minister Ganna Malyar said the rebellion provided a "window of opportunity" for Kyiv on the battlefield.
US President Joe Biden was briefed on the situation in Russia and Washington and "will be consulting with allies and partners on these developments", National Security Council spokesman Adam Hodge said.
European Union chief Charles Michel tweeted that the bloc was "closely monitoring the situation in Russia as it unfolds".
"This is clearly an internal Russian issue," he wrote, adding that "our support for Ukraine" remains "unwavering".
The bloc's diplomatic chief Josep Borrell said the EU was in "permanent contact with our ambassador in Moscow and continuing our internal consultations with our member states".
