They can do that given that he has substantial military forces and has deployed them in russia proper, in the russian motherland. the question is, will they theoretically -- could they go and use force against russian security services? or vice versa? that would open up a pandoras box in the specter of civil war. that is a chapter of history that russians know very well from 1918 to 1922. that is a very difficult and dangerous scenario to imagine. now it is very early in this but its just hard t...

Vehicles are moving through there. interestingly, he is saying that police and law enforcement are protecting the local population but not giving an indication to try to stop wagner from moving. next, officials are telling people to stay off the streets and trying to limit traffic around there. it is clear that wagner, how many this column consists of, whatever their ultimate goal, when they get to the capital is, fast approaching on moscow, and this caps an extraordinary day that began with the...

As frank gardner has said i think there was an awful lot of stuff to come out over the next 24—48 to see exactly where that all means. the ukrainians have been sensibly very quiet. there are, there is information coming that they have tanks across dnipro and im sure they will have taken as much advantage of this bewilderment as they can. for the troops on the ground, the russian troops and commanders, confusion and turmoil really is the last thing you want when you are facing a determined and ...

About 12:14 hours ago. in which he said that russia did not invade ukraine because ukraine was going to attack russia. russia invaded ukraine so the top military commanders could enrich themselves with metals and with other things. and that this is really a corrupt enterprise. essentially attacking the main justification for war that president putin has been talking about now for, well since the war began. after that happened, prove goshen claims there was an attack on his forces. moscow says th...

If theyre out of the picture, wagner forces assigned to ukraine, thats significant. if the people that were in rostov-on-don, the commanders are now a bit distracted by staging the war, that would be important for ukraine as well, and yes, ukraine is looking at this and deciding where, how to pursue deeper this counteroffensive which they have told us is not in a full-fledge mode yet, this might be a weakness, a time to pounce and youve got to believe theyre looking at that right now. neil: than...

Combined arms army. and thats the army responsible for fighting in ukraine and also the major logistics center. so he controls rostov-on-don. hes moving up the m-4 with his wagner group, battle tested group, fast fought in syria, fought in africa, bought in bakhmut, good commanders, seasoned commanders know how to do it and moving fast, moving on heavy equipment transporters, his heavy equipment. why is that important? remember when the russians came into kyiv. they didnt use heavy equipment tra...

Who is notoriously blunt if not ruthless. he had no fear speaking to the world to say that he had no help, that soldiers of his were dying and many people said he was trying to bypass a lot of the military commanders in russia, doing no help, and certainly not aiding his cause. in fact, that they were probably for, he said at the time, actually targeting troops. it was blunt, it was in the militarys face, and it was meant to send a message to vladimir putin. take a look. >> my guys will not suff...

Of what they call the gun. although xi jinping would want to do it he would have to be absolutely sure of his commanders. after what he just saw in ru russia, i think he is probably worried about that. >> tests because yevgeny prigozhin was a friend, ally and loyal soldier to vladimir putin until all this and he wasnt. >> i am sure putin right now is going to have to hold back troops to keep himself in power. troops that otherwise would be used in ukraine. i am thinking xi jinping must believe t...

Troops when they go forward, because they were using these phones that ukrainians were direction finding and calling in artillery on them. a lot of the russian troops probably dont know any of this is happening. thats why the next 48 hours are critical. if prigozhin can get control of communications and really spread the word here, he may well de demoralize the russian forces fighting in the field. otherwise these men wont know whats happening and theyll move forward until their commanders lose ...

Be curious, very keen to know what is the deal, what he has been promised instead. what was that convinced him to halt the movement of his fighters. absolutely, just a few hours ago he put out the statements, these videos challenging president putin and saying he is mistaken to say that they are not the patriarch men who have fought for the country and that no one could stop them from heading towards moscow and now this. last night he said that he is not going to stop until he has restored justi...
