In the country right now. and its going to be very hard to control sentiment amongst ordinary russians, that may have not supported the war or are feeling the pinch of the war in their back pocket and not being able to travel, and whatever abscess they have been warned that they are not able to access, so this may be an opportunity for the russian people at large to stand up against putin, if they have any grapes, but again, its very early to say. a time will come, im sure, in the hold mechanics...

Developments in russia could affect the war in ukraine? >> well one immediate effect is that rostov-on-don is a forward-operating base to some degree for russian forces in ukraine. its a logistical center. supplies. head to russian forces on the front lines in ukraine from there. but it is also a command and control center. and the pictures we have there right now are wagner forces taking over the hq, the headquarters there in rostov-on-don. so that is believed to have an effect over time. in te...

Very thinly still stick together and almost falling apart. but i would also imagine it might strengthen putins hand a little bit because exactly that. i mean, he was able to somehow do something like that, turning prigozhin around. and that probably would be good fluff for him for now to keep his power which i think is basically what hes doing, with all his words and actions. >> go back in history and see if its relevant to whats happening in the kremlin now. you said that, you know, when a lead...

Russian history of people being doublecrossed. that could be a situation going on right now. >> you cannot take anything they report that space value certainly not. just the fact the tanks were called out in moscow. the russian people watch a lot of this. in thats a blocked and may not be reported on the official russian channels. this has really done something to putins invincibility in the armor he has so far enjoyed of not being touched. what is that impacting what does that say about putin? ...

You cant trust. them thats going to change all the dynamics of the game for you. its a tricky situation because on the other hand, hes relied so heavily on the wagner group to do a lot of their dirty work for them. not just in ukraine but across the world. a lot of advances the russians have made and ukraine have been because of the wagner group. this is a tricky situation for the leadership of the kremlin. if everything goes awry with the wagner group, they will lose 25,000 troops on the frontl...
