oil facility in that town, and indeed, russian state media reporting that an mi-8 attack helicopter made a hard landing in that area. it is possible that is all related to the same clashes around that particular area. but the ultimate question for us in the hours and days ahead, is what is left of the russian military inside of russia, so much of it sent to the front lines inside of ukraine, that it is willing to stop this wagner advance. wagner do appear to have been relatively large in number, and prepared, as they made these moves yesterday, this whole dispute it seems going on for months, but coming to a head yesterday, when prigozhin, its leader put out a lengthy statement questioning the war and the combat and essentially telling russians they have been lied to and met by an air strike by wagner inside of ukraine and that seemed to have led his forces to be marching toward rostov. pictured relaxed in that essentially equivalent of tampa, florida, where centcom is based

and using prisoners who they recruited out of russian jails to essentially be used as cannon fodder on the front lines. someone with a lot of brutal tactics but someone who has a large army at his disposal which has apparently turned on vladimir putin, wolf. >> fred pleitgen in berlin for us, you've done a lot of reporting on the wagner group, fred, thank you very much. joining us now, cnn military analyst, retired general, thanks for joining us. as far as ukraine is concerned, one can imagine ukrainians would be celebrating this chaos that's unfolding and what they regard as the enemy camp, namely in russia. rostov, the city that the wagner group apparently now controls, it is a military, important major transportation hub for the russian military, what does it mean for russian forces in ukraine if that city remains in the hands of the wagner group and prigozhin's forces? could ukraine use that situation to its advantage?

country, and wagner focusing their effort on the russian government, there are huge holes in the front line. but i put a caveat to that a little bit, wolf, because the defensive positions that russia has been putting in place for the last six months are still there, so there are mines and trenches, and wire, and russian forces who probably don't yet know exactly what's going on, they're confused, are still in their defensive positions. so where as there might be celebration by some, ukraine, i'm sure the ukrainian commanders are taking this very slowly, trying to find where the new holes are in the front lines that have been caused by wagner's redeployment back to russia, if you will, so the ukrainian forces, if they're smart, are looking for new places to attack, but they still got to deal with all of those mines that are in the ground and all of the trenches that have been dug over the last six months, with russian forces behind them. >> they were told that u.s.

>> well, certainly, wolf, they would use that, because rostov-on-don is the headquarters of the southern military district in russia. but it also is a huge pipeline, as you just said, for a lot of logistics. in fact, ukrainian forces have been trying to intersect the logistics line that go on the m-4 and the m-14 highway that go into zaporizhzhia and kherson province. so when you block those logistics, you certainly grind down the capability of russia to conduct combat operations. but the other thing is, it's interesting, is yes, prigozhin and his wagner group surrounded rostov-on-don last night and now halfway to russia and their forward elements are in a town called call -- and continue to surround the city of russia, and make sure this coup attempt, whatever you want co tall it, if that is the proper term, doesn't take place, and that i protect the

kremlin, red square, and you've seen as early as last night, and i know you know this, there were many military vehicles in red square, security forces all around the city of moscow, so they're very concerned about extensive operations by wagner getting more toward the capital city of moscow and causing more disruption for mr. putin. >> we know, general, that so many russian troops have been deployed to ukraine, and they're obviously fighting there, they're fighting the ukrainian forces who are now launching a counter-offensive. does the russian military have enough troops remaining in russia right now to fight the wagner forces? >> they didn't have enough troops to fight the ukrainian forces, and that's part of the problem, wolf. so no, as wagner pulled away from the front lines in ukraine, they left massive holes. with now this new action of actually leaving completely the

ukraine never should have been separated away from russia. it is not that he wants to restore the old soviet union, he wants to restore sort of the czar-ist view, the peter the great era, when ukraine was a piece of russia, and russia a piece of ukraine, and he said as much in a speech a few months before the invasion. now, the war has first revealed his military to be relatively incompetent. that hurt his standing on the world stage. then the west rose up with sanctions that have hurt him economically, although there are many countries that still have not joined on. and now, it looks like he has cracks even within, internally, and that's the biggest danger to him, in many ways. you know, ukraine never posed a threat to the russian re fweem, a regime, and more importantly to putin's regime, to putin

prigozhin's capabilities here? i don't think anyone could have predicted that he would do something like this. and they're watching now to see whether this becomes a further destabilizing situation, because obviously, that could have major ramifications across not just russia, but across the entire region. on the other hand, they are watching very closely to see how this impacts the war in ukraine, because wagner played such an important role there, the wagner troops were really instrumental in the battle of bakhmut, the symbolically important city in ukraine, and without the full force of wagner operating in ukraine, with them distracted now in russia, how is that actually going to impact ukraine? is it going to allow them to make some kind of break through while russia and while wagner is so distracted by all of this. this is something that u.s. officials have been watching with a lot of fascination over the last several months and it remains unclear at this point what happens next and that is what they're calling around to
