as russian authorities to clear a counter terrorist operation in moscow, wagner chief, gave me per goshen, says, his troops are prepared to fight to the bitter end residents and ross dawn. dawn awoke to startling scenes on saturday. mercenaries from the wagner group station on the streets, their leader of guinea for goshen, says he wants to oust russia's military leadership. marching, a significant escalation of inciting between the 2 sides. president vladimir putin urged wagner mercenaries to a band and the uprising and said, decisive action will be taken to stabilize the situation and ross stuff on don in a televised address, you buy them with these 2 a couple options, but split to now, unity are in a band and minutes of l. people just about comrades in arms who are now fighting in

the front. it's, it's just enough. this is a step in the back of our country and our people knew enough. and when that all of the ocean has accused rushes, military leadership of launching, strikes on his troops and says, they are deceiving the president, you know, why are they still hope that they can win this war? but as long as there is no management, no military success is the leadership of the administrative defense as carefully deceiving the president and the president receives those reports that do not correspond to reality in any way. there are 2 agendas, one on the ground, the other on the president's desk. the, the, to the wagner group has played a key role in rushes in the ukraine, emboldened by games on the battlefield like here and back move. promotions, criticism of the kremlin had been growing ever louder. that criticism now becoming

a major threat to moscow and its entire military leadership, but dw correspondent, roman country ranko joins us now with the latest roman for goshen claims. his troops have entered russian territory, specifically walls, stuff on done. and now we're hearing about the neighboring for nash region. what do you know? well, the situation is developing very, very fast. we've seen footages from the stuff on the, on the videos, many, many videos. so they look authentic and it looked like to gordon troops having a lot of times heavy armours with them. so things like tanks and other heavy weapons. so they have very, very heavily armed a be a well trained. and there was no resistance, or at least we saw a very, very little losing stance on the bottom of the russian army. and rushed off is the headquarters of the russian army and age and fighting in ukraine. so it is very remarkable. so if it's something we've never seen and rushed out before in more

than russian. so speaking, bucks the wrong is we also see them. we saw some footages from that. um, it is difficult to verify them, but they also look authentic. so it looks like there is some fighting, there are some over 6 have been hit. we don't know exactly what is going on, but it looks like president let him important has made a decision to put an end disease. uh, what's your cold mute you need a by force, so he's ready to use the russian army and the russian nomic is now as we speak is trying to stop in mississippi gordon's jobs. but it looks like they have a little success we understand for goshen has responded to put in speech in which the russian president accused the wagner, leader of treason. what exactly did precautions say it was there was a very short message from mister precaution, in a response to the statement by president putin, just a precaution rejected the exemptions of treason and due to me, he said they are petros, that they will not surrender. and he also spoke about,

um she's, he's a aim to fight corruption. and she spoke of corruption in the russian army and said the dental of his major motivation to stop the corruption. and he excuse the q is the defense minister. say so. and uh, the, the are submitted to elite of being corrupt. she sounded, and this is very peculiar. he sounded like the rushing opposition lead to, i'll explain to by me who is now in prison. but the rest of the x of mississippi goes to me is very, very like there have to make something eastern of all me just a few years ago. what did you make generally of put in speech and what are the reactions to what he said inside russia? well, what struck me is that mister, pointing to the virtues which are very light and only on the 2nd day of that now what he called treason and mutiny. so he was, he was obviously trying to resolve it without bloodshed,

without having to use the army during the night. and he failed. so mississippi gordon must have some becca inside the russian army. otherwise, i don't think he would, you would try to do this. and um, mr. porch and also draw parallels with the events in, in russia more than a 100 years ago. and 71917. 1919. it's the time of the 1st of all when a roster at the time the russian empire was losing that vegetable and dislike to a revolution to riveter. she's actually in the rush of the bolsheviks came to power . and then there was a civil war, very logical and i missed a book and said we, we are, we are in a very dangerous situation. and he is absolutely right about that. um it is and they still got to receive remains to be seen uh what, how this will end. but um it is becoming more and more obvious. the present bulletin is losing the control of the rest of the state. she's not there yet. she

will not be able to throw on tonight, or maybe in 2 weeks, i don't think, but the corrects in his power system are becoming very, very big. he's no longer in a position to, to here to conceal that the she's, she's losing a group on the situation that is dw corresponding roman gunter ranko manufacturing . we'll be hearing from you later in there showing throughout the day state type a closer look. now, at the man who claims to be marching, his mercenary forces onto russian soil in an apparent open rebellion is gaining precaution for those or what i need, but not a day goes by without commentary from russia's most vocal only got you have any precautions on the war ukraine is this more than just an opinionated feeling that he's a major play in the conflict as commander of the bag in a group. a private army of mercenaries, the war and ukraine is not the 1st for vag. now. they've been active further afield

. fighting on libya, syria and molly gaining a reputation for brutality along the way. progression and things they can do a better job than what he feels is a disorganized russian army. we'd love to have to restart this wonderful special operation on february 20 for advantage vented to waste. don't around for month well . and then came to a standstill. was there we go. our box, keep from many of the directions and what did we see? an arm is that discrete thing, no management, not training us. and all weapons will probably come to the standard. yep. will to the bottom that could be the bully. but how did you have any precaution gained such prominence? the st. petersburg native had a trouble start in life spending most of his twenty's behind boss for robbery and theft. after his release, he set up a chain of funk dog stalls in his hometown and enough money to open the restaurant

. in the mid nineties, that new venture allowed him to mix with the rushes high and mighty, including vladimir putin, late to put in even started taking his foreign guest that adding precaution, the nickname, pollutants chef. but it was only after russia's illegal lennox ation of crime in 2014. but science began to imagine that precaution was no ordinary business man. because you, since not only become a public figure as one of pollutants, confidence, but he's become a politician in his own rights. and over the course of the war, he's ruffled feathers among rushes elite. the only golf has constantly blamed the chief of staff to valerie dressing, all the time, defense ministers, so gay show a go for not providing munition to vag. now he's even gone as fast, threatening them with dire consequences. yeah, but i should say we shouldn't get because we get just, i'm requesting so it goes saturday to provide them your nice and then media.

in case of use refusal, i can see the necessary to inform of the supreme commander in chief acknowledge the existing major problems in the vacuum at bmc around the box mode. this you don't want you boss mean cracks have imagined precautions relationship with the kremlin. he might enjoy leeway from food and when it comes to the war in ukraine, but it appears he's growing. political ambitions are not welcome. they won't say me of the gap has been going between the role puche and assigned him and the political place he believes he deserves. now it seems he's looking to change that with this, you would just do what we welcomed again, nichol. i petroff, a research or a specialized in russian politics who works for the german institute for international and security affairs. so i want to start by asking you this. we just heard a little bit about the wagner, chief. what is his?

what is the perception of him inside russia? is it likely to be seen that the criticisms he makes about the russian government right now would be met with some validity? so it's just a little mixed up in gordon does play popular scots. and so, as the educator leads political business, military leads is banking much negative. i think it makes kim rather popular to reasons. so it's a logical pull that shows that he's put to leverage it is increasing a box. that's why it was for, for the sam 3 weeks ago, but never those russian political space looks like it. they as that's and missed the big gosh them who occupies some how they play. so fledging maturity and all ski . he's unique and she attract. so most of it, that's how likely is it that the role he's currently playing right now as

a maverick to say the least would show some discord inside russia. just a light them cuz they have a heat ex mock on his own. and she is the from plan off a bigger group of a to have senior military and senior lloyd inforcement offices who are dissatisfied with holiday, what is going on. and that's not by chance. that's pretty gorgeous. they're loud. let's say that we should decide. now with that to stop this war, war is to continue it's of an issue busy war. the whole country should be focused on. and they seem cuz they have these ideas, are 32 positive relate the can by many adoptions precautions, criticism, as you well know, has consistently been directed at russia's military leadership. but should his

actions now be seen as a direct challenge to boot and as a leader of the russian state? yes, absolutely. until very recently paid portion was trying to do so that way and babs made it to read commanders. and so they pressed them quiz, badly informed by them, and even in she is the initial statement. yesterday she told that, well, his plan is to replace leadership was made it to be about the, its not patching f as b or bob jam tools. are the military and law enforcement structures, but the gender of what she's doing. and so even what she's saying. now it's damaging fortune's image. it shows that puts him deep 3832 week spi, 8. and in order to strength of the arm,

it's called mr. pretty gordon, did you be in your grand puts in the it's a make this be much weaker and so humbly capable so well face those challenges like this one. if you will allow me, i want to make sure i clarify something that, um, that you made a reference to earlier. are you suggesting that it is highly likely that precaution would make such a bold move like this? because he knows that he has some small measure of support inside the kremlin. uh well, uh because the name he is uh own speedman told that there are 25000 of them. but uh, they also portraits passively at least by here for russian on it. so floppy gordon, 1000 p if any political goals uh and bounced.
