About does this show that putin is weak. and you can only imagine how that was received by vladimir putin. >> right. but i think that, brianna, if you look at the inside intelligence speculation on this, people would say he engineered perhaps the whole thing. he got rid of prigozhin. he found the disloyals, he redeployed forces out and into belarus. he brought in lukashenko closer and at the end he got rid of prigozhin, a rival. so maybe it was just happenstance, maybe he's just taking advantage of circumstances, but it all has a smell, to me, of a very sophisticated russian intelligence opera...

The passenger list. let's talk through these developments, joining us from washington, andrewjanuary, assistant director at the atlantic council's eurasia centre. great to have you on the programme, thanks forjoining us. it's shocking news forjoining us. it's shocking news for many, what's your reaction? thank you for having me, it's shocking news with which the speed we are seeing this information come in. i think roughly two months ago, when prigozhin led his mutiny against the russian military leadership and was stopped short of moscow, and there was disagreement between him and lukashenko,...

Crucial role. —— bakhmut. after that mutiny in moscow, there were questions about where wagner would move to, we heard possibly belarus — what have we heard about what happened to the wagner military group after that march in moscow? taste group after that march in moscow? , definitely know they stopped being an important force in ukraine, they moved to belarus, and there they became sort of a troublemaker. we know that the president of belarus, lukashenko, for saying that he asked the wagner group who were threatening to go to poland, they were threatening to go to the baltic states. so...

That. but we know that this is a mafia state. they hate each other. prigozhin would've had a lot of other enemies who might've wanted to see them destroyed. lukashenko looks very weak now. he was the guy that helped broker the deal. now he looks totally weak and irrelevant. it'll be interesting to see what happens there. i think ukraine, nobody there is going to be mourning prigozhin's death if in fact he actually is dead. i'm not convinced of that yet. but it does reveal even further the fraying of russia's leadership structure. i think ukraine will look to exploit that. >> president biden as...

Missed in belarus. he was a murder and should be remembered as such. his death might dismantle wagner's presence in belarus, reducing the threat to our nation and neighbors. no one should trust lukashenko's guarantees or any of his deals. how do you think if he is, in fact, gone, it does impact belarus? but also, you know, wagner is very active on the african continent. what do you think the impact of his death, if it is confirmed, would be? >> well, i agree. this is good nus for belarus. it's also good news for ukraine. this guy was a killer. he killed a lot of ukrainians. his forces killed a...
