stopped his advance on moscow and apparently pulled at least some fighters out of rostov-on-don. they had made to it within 120 miles of the capital when they suddenly decided to turn around. the kremlin saying they have putins word he can go safely to belarus free from prosecution. you can see him being cheered by the folks. they even went to shake his hand. prigozhin saying he made the deal because he didnt want to shed russian blood. >> translator: therefore, russian blood would be ...

Ukraine. how likely is it? would wagner forces have to join the russian army? or are they free agents and they could not do that? do you know? >> so it seems that was really the issue at the core of this mutiny attempt that we saw over the past couple of days. we have the deadline looming. the ministry of defense, a july 1st deadline for wagner troops to sign contracts with the russian ministry of defense, and that is something that prigozhin had just categorically rejected. what we see in the r...

Prigozhin may have overcalculated but at the same time, putin must have, too. putin clearly didnt see this coming. and there is the biggest challenge that hes faced since 2000 when he took control of the country. theres blood in the water, people wanting to take advantage of putin and that mean that putin is likely to clamp down even harder on russian society and to look for culprits now. >> appreciate it. coming up, the impact, the front lines on the war in ukraine. the wagner group played a ...

Reassert his control over that wider network of wagner operations and the various shell companies that are connected to him and to wagner. and thats going to potentially be another stress point with moscow because russia has relied so much on wagner to be able to spread its different geopolitical and check goals in africa. there potentially could be some competition if prigozhin can continue to control those operations or if we see those operations become under a broader state umbrella, if we se...

And provide information to ukraine. those people are loyal to the man, prigozhin, not to the country, not to the mission. so weve got a lot more questions that are not answered right now. but i think from that perspective, i think that group splinters up and goes away pretty quickly. >> if it is true, what we are being told, and none of the actors in this, prigozhin, you know, the leaders in belarus, the leaders of russia are reliable brokers and honest. so we have to take everything worth a gra...

Activities today. that is certainly up for debate. putin is not someone to forgive lightly. but there are opportunities for other members of wagner who are not involved in these activities to sign on. so in some ways this is almost an escape hatch for the wagner members who did not plan to sign on. >> that is really interesting. i wasnt aware that they had set a deadline for july, that the russians had set a dead lane for wagner forces. that says a lot about potential motivation for some of this...

Which seems to be sort of settling down now. but they continue to watch that and they continue to particularly watch belarus. just earlier this month, putin said that he made his first transfer of tactical nuclear weapons into belarus. obviously, that hasnt happened any more over the course of the last 24 to 36 hours. if there hasnt been a change to russias talking in posture, according to u.s. officials, but they continue to watch that space incredibly closely. >> appreciate it. thank you. i wa...

Officials were entirely surprised. the u.s. has been keeping a close eye on the simmering tensions between the wagner group and the russian ministry of defense. as early as january, the national security spokesman john kirby referred to the wagner group as becoming a rival power center to the russian ministry of defense. and more recently, u.s. officials got a sense that prigozhin and the wagner group were indeed preparing something. in terms of when president biden or the administration are goi...

Places in africa and they have real financial benefits for russia and certainly for prigozhin. >> i think thats the real question that were facing now and likely that prigozhin is facing. we dont know if any discussion about wagners activities were part of that negotiation between prigozhin and putin today. but we do know that really the bulk of wagners activity and the core of prigozhins business empire does sit in africa. and particularly in sub saharan african states where wagner has specific...
