6:05 pm
a deadly threat to our state hood to us as a nation. this is a blow to russia to our people. russia's defense ministry appeal to wagner fights has to abandon provision saying they've been tricked into what was described as their lead is criminal, adventure and participation in an armed rebellion tension between wagner and the criminal ins on forces escalate to during the battle of buck mode with a medicine res, played a crucial role in the drawing. not fine to capture the city. precaution accused the russian army commodities of deliberate key, withholding ammunition and other supplies from his men in an audio recording precautions, denied pollutants, accusation of treason, bipolar disorder origin that we are patriots of our homeland. we had been fighting and we are fighting now. no one is going to turn themselves in on demand of the president's f. s b or anyone else. because we do not want any more of our country
6:06 pm
to live in, corruption lies and bureaucracy. this is why we are the patriots, and those who are against us are the one surrounding the scumbags. police raided wagner is headquarters and some petersburg. while in moscow, security has been tightened and what's described as a counter terrorism. the state of emergency imposed mike level, which is a let's go to usually a shuffle over in moscow and julia of what's happening right now with the wagner convoy. and as we understand that the children sizes and moving there as well. yeah, absolutely. the sciences of the chechen, not a battalions are reported at the entrance to a real stalls on don't and probably they will take up the fight. with that, the wagner group to add previous they had of chechnya rums duncan deer informed about that,
6:07 pm
dispatched to resolve the conflict with progression while the group flying to has been seen in the mall sco lip. it's ron is and roll stove regions. so it progression and keeps posting his face was on the inside of explaining why the blog in the group was so popular. but just a minutes ago, there was a statement by the russian foreign ministry on the current domestic political situation. and according to them, attend of, of the rebellion and the country arises, arises deep resentment, and the russian society which strongly supposed russian presents legitimate person that's according to the foreign ministry, of course. and they blamed wagner full destabilizing the situation in russia and destroying the countries. unity. they said that the west was going to benefit from the situation and no one else just the west. we understand that security has been stepped up right across russia, especially in moscow where you are to oh yeah,
6:08 pm
absolutely. in most cool and not just the most coveted all around russia. we know that the entrances to the city of lift that have been blocked, drivers are off to use alternative routes that will be bus travels, have been cancelled in a real struggle and don't. there are many people reported at the railway station that trying to flee the range of buses running from lip. it's kind of a rush to most could have been canceled to a traffic on the most client reba he um has been temporarily suspended by the way and the lights of the pre goes and were bailey and, and russia. tickets for the wrecked flight students believe c and back who have been sold out despite astronomical prices, as people want to leave russia now. uh, all the public activities has been cancelled and things like problems at schools have been postponed for at least
6:09 pm
a week. so you can easily see pieces of military equipment and the central must go to and has of several regions of the people to remain at home as long as been said and to continues. okay, thank you so much. that is, uh, you'll get shut off a little before us in moscow. ukrainian president full of them is an inch cases. keith is protecting europe from what he calls the spirit of russian evil, and kyle's in the tweets zalinski rhodes, who despises people and throws hundreds of thousands into the war in order to eventually barricade himself in the most coverage. and from those whom he himself. and he also edits russia's weakness is all this full scale weakness. and the longer russia keeps its troops and missionaries on our land, the more kyle's pain and problems it will have for itself lighter. it. okay, well let's get you from the front lines about these 2 method developments tells threats to joins us on the roads to puck moods in eastern you crying. and so i can just bring this up to date with what the situation is. there's this provided
6:10 pm
a neuro boost of sorts for ukrainian troops of the yes, that's why you're joining us on the road to buff mode. we have moved further down away from buff mood in the last hour or so, because there was some incoming shedding in the surrounding fields in that area. suddenly the situation here amongst you credit in full, seized the morales high. we've been speaking to a number of ukrainian so just wanted to say that his words, that the chaos happening on the russian control side of the front line was going to be exploited heavily by the ukrainians. and in his was they were going to try and kids suddenly moved very hard. a cool spot move was taken control of by russian forces a few weeks ago. and very instrumental in use that victory full of the russians was, of course, devolved no group. we know that the ukrainians in the last couple of weeks since
6:11 pm
the beginning of this counter offensive claim to have re taken areas some areas to the south of the town. interestingly, this morning we heard reports that those gains may have increased a little bit in, in the morning hours. but as i say, it's impossible to confirm those, those lines. what we have seen here over the course of the day is increasing to build up a lot of infantry going in that direction. we've also seen for a pcs, the occasional tank as well as i mentioned the incoming and a lot of outgoing shedding earlier. also, as well as helicopters, we understand, especially with helicopters designed to take infantry and soldiers to and from the from so yeah, it's gonna be very interesting. housings develop, certainly in buff moved around the bus, moved in the coming hours and those channels. what are the, why the implications for the counter offensive along the front lines, especially if this does drag on to days,
6:12 pm
if not weeks. so that's the big question, isn't that we have in the last few days visited 2 areas along the 1000 could almost a front line yesterday we were in one of these villages that the ukrainians say they have in their woods liberated since this counter offensive solitude. they said that they taken full control of it. that wasn't the case when we with a yesterday at least that you currently military saying that they was still coming on the heavy, heavy fire. they said that was still skirmishes on the outskirts of that village in an around the tree line. they was at how being used by the russians. so the ukrainians in that area coming on the heavy attack and seemingly not still in control of that village. but the, as i say, the ukrainians declared as having re taking full control of last week. we've also moved to an area around 200 kilometers further north, from that front line position to an area close to the russian occupied town of
6:13 pm
camino. now we visited frontline ukraine in full, she's there in a trench in the forest. this whole area was taken back control of by the ukrainians and inoffensive last summer by and large sits. and that has to be much movement. no advances from either side. forwarding to the friday and some change around 2 weeks ago, they said that the russians were trying to push forward. they were using increasing app, how much is heavy all to the rate using small teams of russian soldiers to try moving through the force on those positions. those ukraine is very anxious indeed. so that makes the question is indeed rush always going to have to withdrawal forces from these frontline areas in order to deal with this. rebellion inside russia will that give ukrainians a better opportunity to push for the fluid in this counter offensive account or offensive that does fall as being very slow and in the woods of president. so let's
6:14 pm
get a few days go slower than expected. okay, thank you. so much for that up, i did as tell stress it for us in eastern new crime will save boston is live now for us. and jim, these are some of the towns and step, how are you were paying leaders reacting to what's happening in russia as well as you can imagine, the crisis fox houses all over europe are right now in many european capitals in brussels. the foreign chief yoseph barajo has called all the a g sap and foreign ministers. he sat, he has activated the crisis response center of the sort of situation room where he can monitor the situation. 247 and the counsel chief a child the child has said that it's an internal affair. in russia, they are monitoring it closely, but of course, all the leaders are on the edges of their chair. so right now,
6:15 pm
germany has also how the crisis meeting set, and that they will change the travel warning that they already had in place for ukraine, of course, and russia now to many more places in russia, people are really warned against traveling there. since the invasion, the russian invasion and ukraine does cause, of course, has been a lot of anxiety here in europe about the security situation. while the internal events right now in russia has. that's that the complicated things a lot more, especially in eastern europe, we're pulling into for us also having a crisis meeting the eastern borders of the you. but also the baltic states are very much watching the situation laps for you all has already close as borders of, for any russians trying to flee the country to pass through. lots. yeah. especially a lot of people now are try to leave the country. so you are was also watching that very carefully, but they say that's what ever happens. europe will stand by ukraine. thank you so
6:16 pm
much. that is the best and for us in germany, let's now go to the us, where am i can uh is for us in washington dc. and the secretary of site has been cooling around the world leaders. no doubt trying to keep a close eye on. uh, you know, rapidly changing developments. yes indeed, anthony, blinking has been in the funds through the course of the morning to the foreign ministers of his g 7 the allies speaking to them, forming a united front into and so reacting and monitoring to what is happening in russia and on its board is also, jake sullivan, the national security advisor is holding appreciate your meeting in copenhagen, its believed with members of ric, including south africa and brazil. this was initially intended to broaden the support for ukraine among non aligned countries. obviously the situation as unraveling at the moment is something that will be discussed at that meeting as well. now, one must remember,
6:17 pm
has that you have get any promotion was sanctioned by the us. back in 2016. he's wagner, group was actually declared a terrorist organization earlier this year, this great concert and in the bite and administration about the consequences of instability in russia, the global consequences. so this is being watched with great great concern president biden. we understand was pretty throughout the nights on the events he's due to leave full camp. david's in about 10 minutes time with most likely he will continue to monitor the situation. as indeed will be a us military, which like me, administration, is deeply concerned about the potential for instability in russia. okay. thank you so much. that is mike enough for us in washington dc. well, we're gonna go and now to l. diplomatic. it is a chance buys, who joins us live from the united nations. and james, mike touched on that a little bit too. but how concerned is the international community about these
6:18 pm
developments in russia? the pricing is that very concerned? um, i think they will says, i see potentially certainly the weston leaders, some opportunities here too. um i was at the united nations. i am here now. but as you know, i see that mentions just a few hours ago when the security council was meeting in close session, talking about the israel palestine. and then a meeting on saddam. and i can tell you how many spot and some of the diplomats that were not close meeting. so throughout the meeting, even though they were paying attention, they were on that phones constantly looking at the latest information because of that time progression. it just said he was about to march towards moscow. they were monitoring the situation and of course diplomats on their phones don't just look at twist. they like us diplomats have access to diplomatic cables and some of them are right into the latest intelligence as well. so that's monitoring this very closely, i think with regard to ukraine is. charlie was telling you earlier on,
6:19 pm
a wagner has been and mashed in the russian assets in ukraine since the invasion of try me here in 2014 and talk about being the best trained trips. the ones that have done the heavy as fighting is a span of the ones that to move to place the child is heading to now, and they will be a real law. so i think for the russian oper, right operation in that you credit and i'm showing credit you credit intelligence is trying to find the gaps, walk now have left, and of course it will affect more all of those, the rest of the russian troops. they will now be in some of this array, having lost the units, but that's the downside as well. diplomats telling me they all concerned russia mikes in the circumstances with the crating and counter offensive underway. decide to lash out. we're seeing what happened with the dime ukraine says, and russia was responsible for the collapse of the damn. we need to look at that for each of you clip how clump that's a place of concern. the cost, the real concern is the possibility that has to be mentioned several times of the use of
6:20 pm
a tactical nuclear weapon by russia. and what have diplomats been telling you about . so that'd be a presence chances of surviving this well, if you look at it on paper that the precaution says he has $25000.00 troops. now, he often exaggerates, but you look at how many russia has on pay for is the 5th largest military force in the world. 1.5000000 is the number of force of personnel that has at least 2000000 in reserve. so it looks pretty obvious, doesn't that it looks like precaution doesn't start to chums, but diplomats are telling me no, hang on a minute. but look how quickly real stuff i'm don't fail. and that is the main russian operational come on, sunset for the crane war, and no one for them, a told the like the troops and they all now heading up the m full mode to a on the way to moscow. i think the number of factors here, one of them i think is at power. remember that the russian net force has
6:21 pm
considerably power. wife now has some jets in helicopters, but potentially if the force agreed to do this, pretend could order a carpet bombing of that convoy heading to moscow if he thought that's the only way to stop them heading that. we also don't know the real loyalties of the rush rest of the russian forces or the russian to leaks or of those around puts in we not was it ever since coded teaching is only spoken to a relatively small amount of people. i'm very hesitant to make it started. go parallels, but i'm going to 1917 seems a long time ago, the russian revolution, they were actually 2 revolutions that it happened, joined the 1st world war and it happened during a time of economic hardship. and that was the time when things moved extremely fast to revolutions that led to a major change. i think most of my time to think up to talking to think puts in
6:22 pm
will prevail in the end. but even if he prevails, everyone now is seen preaching, saying he's being stabbed in the back and there's a threat to him so that aura of power controlled and the visibility that he's had all this time. that's gone now and a. and you was mentioning how fast things move, what we've just got a couple of new lines and the most giving me a has said that monday will be a non working day to minimize risks. he has, as, as the situation is difficult and that account of terrorism regime has been declared in the russian capital. and he is urging people to refrain from the trips around the city. so clearly, some significant developments for the russian residents and most go at the moment. i just wanna stick with wagner. and if we can hit james, i mean, how might this impact some of the countries in africa? we're the wagner group, is authorizing cowardly what, what's going to happen to those countries to the bottom, the group and,
6:23 pm
and the people that they have been originally and providing security for. yeah, the volunteer group is a mess and the confidence company that operates as operated in the middle east and in africa. it's a pricing for those governments, but it's also a pricing on it for itself. for example, ensued on the gold mines its been taking charge of the incident on, also appraising and libya central african republic. and molly, molly, is, i think the place that we should concentrate on right now, because there's a lot going on in money just over a week ago. the money and government set to the un. we don't need your un peacekeeping forestman. those might any more. you should leave and basically they, they hinted that they will rely on why cannot? well, wagner has 900 trips. they certainly are prepared to fight and human rights groups say that from the public commit won't crimes. the un though, had 1300 piece. keep us as
6:24 pm
a un security council meeting for next thursday and try to fight on how to structure the un mission to a range of rapid drop drop down of these forces. but if you're the modeling government, you just kicked out the un and a think that you'll use security is going to be supplied by fog. know then, then that you might be a little bit what rate today if progression does not succeed, and certainly the international community is worried. i think, i mean, either way, with the situation that's going on as, as the bug, the troops approach approach most go. because i think the, the one thing we have to remember more than anything else is the rush. it has more nuclear weapons and any other country in the world, almost 6000 nuclear weapons. so this is a real issue of concern for the whole world. and date it is. thank you so much, that is james bice, heads up in america. it is a for us from the un. dimitri visiting co, now takes a closer look at the wagner group and the man behind it all,
6:25 pm
a real good product. you have any precautions rose to power in russia from humble beginnings and st. petersburg. after being jailed for 9 years for robbery and fraud . he became a hot dog salesman, and then the man known as putin's ships, his catering company hosted events for foreign leaders, as well as president vladimir putin's private birthdate parties. and it wasn't until 2022. the precaution admitted that he had found at the wagon a private military company 8 years earlier in eastern ukraine. he previously denied all connections to the most scenary group and suit any one linking him to work that most of mary's illegal in russia. but precautions close links to putin and russia's elite allowed him to bypass legislation and gave plausible deniability of any involvement in operation of a seat, as well as ukraine. the wagner group has been links to military operations in syria since 2015 and aiden governments. combat rebel groups and the central african republic,
6:26 pm
libya molly and so don precaution is also linked with existing military and political influence and chad, mozambique and zimbabwe has been so successful as a private military company that it has become essentially a franchise. and so you have different, really, very distinct organizations that carry the same brand work that was an important force in russia's invasion of ukraine, including the assaults on some of the n commute. a precaution commanded up to 50000 troops in ukraine, mostly recruited from russian prisons and exchange for pub underlined his most. no, he's victory. all the while playing down the role of the russian army owners to obviously putting this created precaution, regardless of a self made man. he spoke most projects to create a sort of
6:27 pm
a competitive alternative military for assuming i should to boost the effectiveness of the regular russian army for another 3 vis, related to ent, and to open criticism with the golden didn't means his words in attacking defense minister said h i go and chief of staff ability get us involved for under supplying his troops or not so you can walk away pretty positive. we have a 70 percent shortage of admonition showing. go garage him up to them up for a brief. where is the munition look at them? thank you. when back moved was seized in may 2023. often more than 6 months of fighting precaution and his men took a passive roll and the kremlin began to reign n y got demanding the group register and report directly to the army. the golden refused, and his confrontation with russia's military leadership reached the pointing point on june 23rd. when he was accused of the mutiny entries in reaching the didn't
6:28 pm
go out to 0. well, so what does this evolved over about? you mean for president posing both politically and on the front line? so to discuss this, we are joined by philip short, who's written the biography on russian president vladimir persian, and john licks and a, an expert on the wagner group. thank you, bye for, for joining us. here on the al jazeera john, if i can pick in with you, you're one of the leading experts on 5. now, what is progressions in goals? what, what exactly is he trying to achieve? oh, hi, i'm, i'm jean. hi i, i wish we knew that for sure. right now. um, i think uh to my mind and his efforts, at least initially seemed to me as an appeal to authority. uh that uh may. and he may have been playing the card for the key saw could get him into a room with uh, with the russian president vladimir putin. but he seems to have overplayed his hand and now finds himself apparently an open verbally. at the same
6:29 pm
time we, we don't know for sure this may have been the plan all along. so there are kind of to, to work considering that the moment one was that this was an appeal to authority. the other that this is a direct assault for power, right? that's still a pigeon is obviously, you know, watching on presumably trying to work out how to put it into this as quickly as possible. how does he go about doing this, of what the great problem is that he should have liked it quite some time ago? you know, but this, this route is internal struggle with production, with production, overreaching as being building out over a period of months. and one of the lessons of this i think, is if you, you know, by pretends handling of the invasion of the war as being rather warm. and he has not had to, you know, usually he's very sure 14 but in, in the last 1215 months of war. uh he has to be and we pre goshen. it's been the
6:30 pm
same thing. so i think in the lead, this is going to reinforce the idea of the content is, is not getting things right at the moment that he's, he's not really totally in control. and that will, however, this, and i really want to emphasize, we don't know how this has got to do, and you mean using the word monitor a lot to describe how other people are looking at it. and that's it. we watch, but we have very little input, but however it in pretends position is certainly not going to be reinforced. no, i want you both to listen to this next uh, assault from the fucking a group late a, if you need physician who's criticizing the war and you cry and saying it was based on lies. when do you need it by law? they were shooting at us, we were shooting at them, and that has been going on all these long, 8 years from 2014 to 2022. sometimes the amount of showing an exchange of fire rows
6:31 pm
and sometimes it decreased. on february 24th, there was nothing extraordinary. no, the russian defense ministry is trying to deceive president vladimir to put an end the public can tell them. there was an insane aggression on part of the ukraine. and they were going to attack us together with the entire new block. so the so called special operation on february 24th was launched for completely different reasons. philippe, as a person, if a face such a bold annual face challenges as what he has over the last 24 hours. no, no, no this. i mean pre goshen has really gone, but he's across too many red lines. and i think the reason he's done it is showing go in the defense minister independence ministry trying to get control of the group side to subordinate it to the general stuff and progression rebelled against that. he refused, and having created that situation, he then when even further he presumed to walk, she sold his own,
6:32 pm
was to gregory. i think the one doesn't know, but he's heading for hygiene. he's heading to get crushed. i think. okay, john, we've heard that of going to fighters have been promising and to see if they do lay down the width is how loyal uh, his trips to progression. well i think that depends entirely on the individual it's, it's um a hi ron it because definitionally a mercenary should be a okay, i'd be ology free of any ideology and just be a incentivize the fight for money. with that being said, of course everyone has their own political views, their own personal ideologies. inbox, there is no exception and we've seen over time over the years that the organization has created a culture around itself, a culture around uh,
6:33 pm
brotherhood. uh and certainly i think many of the of the gardens contractors do feel a loyalty to him into the, the life and identity that they've chosen as father contractors. and i think we're seeing that on display. but right now, but we don't notice the number of people who've chosen not to participate at this moment, but we just see the folks were participating. but clearly there is a draw for, for some people who are, who are very well to him personally. and we saw that the wagner headquarters were right. it and tens of millions of, of dollars were found. the can you explain his voice, chest, and what can you do with alice's? for me, i think, as has been stated on the program earlier, wagner has operations throughout the middle east in africa, and places like sedan, central african republic, they're engaged probably in mining activities and other businesses,
6:34 pm
which would certainly generate some cash. we've never really known to what extent they've been profitable though, because they also have significant costs. and as we seen before, there are a lot of pensions, but the ministry of defense and bottles over resources. and so a lot of a lot of precautions kind of main income is also likely from the russian government itself. and so that could also very likely be a portion of the war chest that we found. uh, you know, as we know, the longer is a mercenary company. they've relied on supplies from the ministry of defense and the russian military. so how long? uh, because you can actually sustain this, which crude with the funds that he has and the equipment that he has is really anyone's guess at the moment. but it's only likely that it's for an incredibly long time, right? if philip disperse and still have the support of the russian people, especially when it comes to the board and you kind or as, as this completely undermined him with his own people. it's this
6:35 pm
progression. the fact uh, no, i don't think it's on the mind him. he, you know, there's an awful lot in russia. well, it's my country, my country right or wrong. it's not very tube support for the war. a lot of people i think would be very happy is what we're not going on. but why there is a war. yes, they support the regime and they support the their armed forces. i think one of the things just to go back for a moment from progression is not to say very carrot to the lead the wrong proceed. always people who have power and russia really don't like him, so that will make them support food. and again, the possibility remote possibility of progressing coming out on time on this. and this is just one of the element that's been reporting out of russia, that a lot of provisions troops along with about the rank and file. we're not actually
6:36 pm
told anything about this plan to, to turn on the they, we just told they were being relocated to be able to be under. all right, um that honestly, how strongly in the rank and file of a high and for good you know this and there's also an uncertainty about whether he's going to be able to win over the ministry side, the ranking offices of the rank and file a. so, so those are questions which we simply can't guess the answers to at this stage know at jones as a precaution, have any political ambitions or as philip was saying, because he is disliked by i guess the lights and moscow that sort of rules, any political position out for him it's an interesting question because i mean the, the ask that he's engaged in currently is incredibly political coupon. and so it's, it's,
6:37 pm
it's on the god of all that. he wants to be engaged in politics. but this is certainly a very kind of non traditional manner for, for putting forward your candidacy the russian people. um, on the other hand, he, there happened science prior to this that he was interested in potentially going into politics. prior, he was engaged in, you know, meeting with various russian politicians from, from a certain parties. he's been kind of on a telegram and using russian social media especially effective way in tapping into some of the more nationalist segments with the online russian population. so, so he certainly, i think has had some political ambitions this uh, what was happening today. i think, you know, if the, you know, versioning stays around, which i think it looks like philip's that i think that's very likely. i think he
6:38 pm

6:44 pm
the situation that's unfolding is changing the equation in the region here. it's also changing the states of school and everyone is waiting to see how is this going to impact the front lines completely. yeah, sure. my jersey at all. do you ask us? but we are joined by my one a couple on the director of political studies of the arabs seem to serve research and policy studies and thankfully joined us in the studio. thank you very much for being here. i know a bunch of picket and talking about around because they have come out and said that they support the rule of law in russia and they effectively backing person here. and how important is it for person to have his international allies stick with them through this athletic, i think, and even on the must be really concerned about that. they have enough events and frustrated because if russia is weakened by this mutiny, by dividing another group and partial is seen as to be your ons, main international ally. and therefore, to get that in, see the, the fight thing together somehow when you create and because you know what you're on the supporting russia, they are providing the thrones. mm hm. did that mean is the major ones source of
6:45 pm
for, for the restaurant and ukraine in recent and recent mazda on the other line also? and then i'll show and disagree with the concept. because you know this, the negotiation on the nuclear issue between, between the wisdom balls and the on russia actually. and the security concept is preventing, for example, today, getting the mechanism of the deadening, done. nick lot of filed back to the security concept. so they, on the, on the, it must be really concerned about, about this new to me about the recent events and i shot and they want to show all sort of both with the president boynton because it is all there is own was there is also that relationship, the person that relationship between iranian leaders and president fulton has developed a lot of the past few. he is a president within was in the hold on last year he meant with the supreme leader and that's was a very he was seen as
6:46 pm
a very strong signal of the growing relationship between the 2, between the 2 countries. so yes you're on is, is supporting him and they want to, i mean it's somehow they are like being faxed some of the and how much that save off for each one of the boss few years. it says they have the support thing get on also and many and many issues. and they obviously want to keep putting in pallet and to ensure that he has remained powerful as possible so that when it comes to, to keep it on a spoken to person on the fund us since a hold of this began and urge them to acts with common sense, what do you think turkey wants out of this to continue on is as it was before with the person in charge. i believe that somehow also i've got must be feeling that it can be concerned about this mutiny and, and i shot because president talked to run despite the major differences between the russia and to the key and on many international issues. like, for example,
6:47 pm
the city like for example, the war between out of mania and as of a john. he nonetheless the about the very strong this and that relationship with president within, i'm not forget the president, depending the ones the 5th international leader to support of do guy and doing the 5th attempt in 2016 on some people to claim that it was 4th and actually who played the key role in forwarding that ident, guess president of the gun, and we can actually support the president of to come to the election. we all know that and he was very clear on on that. so i think president of do guys also wants to show some how a sort of support is, is he's trying to be back. yeah. but doesn't put in for, for support to get on the bus a few years left. on the other hand, he wants to keep our options open for him. yeah, yeah, no, because if things change, for example, in, in most school. so he needs to keep russia as a, as a, as a friend,
6:48 pm
regardless of who's, who's, who's leading the country. but of course, i mean that is the sort of map, the intimacy, let's say, between between but between both of them and present with them. yeah. we've been talking uh throughout the last, how did you know the wagner has troops and the people and in many countries? i mean, how is this going to affect its activities and places like molly syria left the central african republic? of course, i mean a rack and that was very active during the war in syria, the war and libya in molly and so done us while it may be the one that we must watch. of course, i mean we all know that prison within created this a group and the 1st place to act very much like like his extend um it was more or less like the young and the pollution that he got, the in which the states can use them as
