windows there. prigozhin said his military firm was bound to and we quote cease existence on july 1. but with no wagner, does success in ukraine look more like no chance? we re on it with greg palkot on how anxious europe is responding. gillian turner at the state department on what the administration is saying. and senate intelligence committee chairman mark warner on the potential fallout he s seen and retired major general david petrard with putin back in charge but unclear how much in charge. forget about from russia with love. it s like russia with the world at a loss. welcome, everybody. i m neil cavuto. you think you had this whole
it clearly was the most effective. i think it s going to be fascinating to see how many of these wagner forces actually signed this contract with the russian military of defense and put them in the chain of command in which both prigozhin and many of the wagner leaders have been brutally critical throughout the whole effort. i do hope one thing that prigozhin s house had a morning when he released this to the world, help the russian people heard it, he said although putin s excuses for going into ukraine were false. ukraine was not a bevy of fascism, nazis, there was no effort by ukraine to take on or any way interfere with russians. i don t know how much of that message got to the russian people but i hope it does. neil: do you think prigozhin s days are not long for this world. that he will in fact be a target of putin? general david petraeus himself had said he wouldn t go by any open windows if you were

prigozhin even more power in the eyes of some in russia. neil: do you think, general, if prigozhin is hearing this, heard what putin said, putin pulled like what seemed like a 180 in the way he assessed progress, to get him off of his back saturday with what seemed like an imminent raid of moscow, makes all sorts of allowances to protect the guy. now is saying something entirely different. if i m prigozhin, wherever i am, i m thinking you know what, you sob? what then? i think what putin and the other russian officials are trying to do is give a little leverage there. make sure that prigozhin follows the agreement that was brokered by the president of belarus. that is that he in fact does leave. when he does leave, we may see a
