The Russian leader has seen off this latest challenge to his authority, but Yevgeny Prigozhin has uncovered growing vulnerability at the top.

Shows up at the table, particularly the russian air force. would they come and support his troops as they went towards moscow, that did not have, been putin maintained a minimal level of control. i think putin made a smart move exiling prigozhin, but i would say again, he now will follow the motto of the middle ages, never forgive, never forget, prigozhin i think is going to face vengeance at some point. >> i want to pick up on what you just said, and president putins minimal level of control, g...

Much more victorious than he was because by now, it is resolved. prigozhin is not going to go into the sunset, and belarus, africa, in syria, or anywhere else. >> i was going to ask about prigozhin, and what we expect, it sounds like you think so. to hear from him more. that hes not just disappearing into the sunset. what will that look like? >> well, i think in some ways, both putin and prigozhin won, but also our weekend. because prigozhin wanted to take -- because putin was, according to prig...

Maybe putin will negotiate not when hes winning, not when he is given a gift of territory in ukraine, but when hes losing, as he just said yesterday. >> now given, that obviously there are is a range of assistance and military equipment that is being provided by different countries around the world. some more ambitious and aggressive than others. there is a nato meeting coming up in just a couple of weeks, do you anticipate any of these conversations change in about the kinds of assistance, the ...

House was declassifying information in order to call out russias actions. that was a strategic move. notably, that was on the move that was made about the intelligence that prigozhin was planning something. now, reports have suggested that its because they didnt want putin to blame them for a coup. which makes sense to me. but what did you make of that decision about the intelligence, and not sharing it? >> i think thats right. jen, you saw in the last 24 to 36 hours, president biden refrained f...

Challenging putin for power, profiling prigozhin as a dangerous competitor. zika wrote, according to many sources in -- clashed with the military general staff. however, the effect could be the opposite, with more people seeing mr. promotion as the most probable favorite to succeed mr. putin. pretty precious. he wrote that several months ago. david -- tracked him down to discuss the events of the past few days. joining me now is david remnick. before joining the new yorker, he served as the mosc...

Impact on the thinking around that. joining me now is ivo daalder, he served as the u.s. ambassador to nato from 2009 to 2013. thank you so much for joining me this afternoon, i wanted to start with something you tweeted out that in 1991, gorbachev survived a coup attempt, only to be out a few months later. as youre looking at the events of the last 48 hours, even with the deals struck, the mysterious deal. what is your sense, at this point, of putins long term grasp on power? >> well no one kno...

>> i think we have a tendency to view these figures as if they are great geniuses of strategy. it wasnt so long ago that putin was on the cover of magazines as the master strategist of a three level chess game of world strategy. you know, hes such a master strategist that now, with a stroke, hes at war with ukraine, hes at war with the west, and hes at war, it now seems, with a great deal of his own power structures. and hes put himself in jeopardy, his country, in jeopardy, and there are times ...

That this hasnt blown out into some enormous, chaotic situation that spills into borders that russia has so many boris borders of europe. but it will be a disappointment, it looks like putin, again, has the upper hand after all of this. probably, a mixed bag of feelings here in europe, that maybe theyve averted some huge disaster that couldnt have been contained. if this became some sort of civil war in russia, that spilled out. again, theres gotta be a level of disappointment, that putin manage...

>> specifically, the deal that i would do, is that it would freak the current lines of control. korean war style. armistice agreement. i would further commit that nato would never admit ukraine. permanent stop on ukraine entering nato. which is that we split up the russia china alliance. i think the china russia military alliance is the top military threat that the united states faces. the biggest nuclear stockpile and russia compete with the biggest economy and other credibility is in china. th...
