Casualties here, i dont think the facts support that. prigozhin is claiming three other helicopters and a russian transport. we cant find the evidence to support that. it may materialize later. given the internal security problems russia was having, one being a surprise and two not being able to act, this was russia, centralized command and control. we are decentralizing the united states military. we let tactical commanders make decisions based on whats in front of them. russian commands and co...

Stressed in his demands and possibly what he got out of the agreement is what a mess the organization and the command of russias forces -- overwhelmingly superior to those of ukraine in number and, actually, in quality of equipment. and -- im sorry to go back to 2014, crimea, ukraine was a small-ish prime to modernize soviet -- it wasnt terribly good. and thats -- a sort -- of hundred 30,000 troops when piling in on the 24th of february last year, could actually they -- but it was a massive -- b...

Wagner is more popular than people realize. its been used as a force multiplier in ukraine, even though its been a source of cannon father and kind of thrown into the meat grinder. i think what this tells you is russia doesnt really have a strategy. theyve gone to this ham-handed, theyve taken their usual draconian approach, and its backfires. and i think what this tells me is the united states and its allies need to keep doing what weve been doing, which is providing material and moral support,...

Not just wagner group. there are other groups out there. some more like neighborhood bullies but you see a breakdown of society which is unparalleled. >> does this make putin more dangerous, do you think? >> the thing that is really dangerous, go the late ash carter, we saw break downs in russia before. the old soviet union. the loose nuke danger. i dont want to be alarmist on that but in a strange way, that many in the u.s. government almost like a unified command for russia so we dont have wor...

Russia, ukraine, and around the world? >> reporter: good evening, adriana, although president biden might not be a huge fan of president putin, in fact in poland last year while meeting with refugees, biden infamously said this guy cannot remain in power, an off the cuff comment that senior officials quickly walked back, but the official u.s. position is that they do not support regime change in russia. thats up to the russian people. the spoken goal of this administration previously had been to...

Elections in belarus two years ago. out of the blue, in the midst of this very serious crisis and challenge to vladimir putins authority which putin himself compared to the 1917 bolshevik revolution, out of the blue, suddenly the kremlin and the belarus government announced theyve brokered a deal with prigozhin. the kremlin arguing that, well, luke sheng cohas known prigozhin for more than 20 years and thats where some of the trust is and that prigozhin will go there. with no kind of further det...

Seidule private military companies have to start making contracts with the russian defense ministry. so that at least as far as the structure is concerned seems to be the way that things are going. of course, wagner is different than all other private military companies in russia and that its gigantic, was the most prominent and had its own command and control structure with commanders close to prigozhin who were themselves also quite well known in russia and certainly in places around the world...

To see how they integrate. i think they can at certain levels, but in other cases i think the command and control structures are quite different and thats going to be difficult nor them to overcome, especially talking with the ex-convicts that the wagner group has. they will be a lot harder to integrate than the normal people that were a part of the wagner group before the ukraine invasion. >> when we last spoke current leighton, you described prigozhin and putin as two very delusional men tryin...
