is successfully in 90 minutes on d w. the . this is due to the news live from berlin. russia's present, it gives the wagner mercenaries a choice, joined the russian army, or leave the country in response to an important march on moscow bottom, including says, wagner, fighters can either joined russia's conventional military or to go to bell or roost, where their leader has reported the agree to go plus this time of year they

normally have boost guides, but residents of montreal are now breathing in some of the world's most polluted air. smoke from wild fires raging across canada as blanketing a back. the i'm in is if welcome to the program, russian president vladimir putin has praised his country, his unity following the aborted revolt by the wagner mercenary group. prudent said he would honor has promised to allow wagner fighters to relocate to belgium bruce if they wanted. where the commander jeff guinea per goshen, has reported they agreed to go or allow them to join the russian military foreigner . as short lived revolt has left the criminal and seeking to restore calm and reassert hooton's authority. many questions remain about how the dramatic events will inform his next steps, and what they could mean for the war. new crane. after a weekend of may head mans with votes,

operations save face has kicked in at the criminal and it started with the speed the i released on russian state tv with defense minutes. this guy is showing front and center seen to permanently visiting the front line and ukraine. it's his 1st public appearance since the bach and have a vote, an eclipse signal that he's still in charge. so which is the little girl, was the police again and then came a call for unity from russia's prime minister, going to the praise president pollutants leadership with the junior 11th faith cabinet meeting here in moscow along the way through before the under these circumstances, it's important to ensure the solvency and independence of our country for the safety and wellbeing of our citizens. we need to add together as one team maintain the units you offer or forces by lining up behind the president and take calculated joint decisions to implement task given by the head of statements that are showing you the you think doing the bonding as others can sort of postpone my going,

so that's the, the us and others have described. so today's or vote, which is a direct challenge to the russian presidents, leadership to the bottom, to lead to and who's forces and say, fall face no punishments. despite putins play around with the school, you have any precaution himself. he supposed to be in bed. it was after pulling out with his troops on saturday nights with a he said right the yet is still unknown. but he has released an 11 minute or 2. your message in which he explains his reasons for taking action. you're not somebody you said you don't know where it was, was there were 2 important factors for our decision to turn around at the for the 1st one, when you did it is that we did not want to spill russian blood reflect that a the 2nd where is that we were marching your mom to show our protests or what but

idea, but not to overthrow the government of the country. a severe shade. yeah. well i skipped that idea that was followed a few hours late to why i promise from president booted to wagner. fighters in the late nights address, he wasn't with us about today. you have the opportunity to continue your service. i'm not sure about signing a contract with the defense ministry or other military and law enforcement structures. people to go back to your family and loved ones. those who want can lead for bella very still had the promise that gave will be fulfilled. you were just pulling in but there was no mention of the instigate to into effect buck and at least you have get he put goshen. his life on future may still be on the line. i spoke earlier earlier to doug clean and non resident fellow at the atlantic council atlantic councils erasures center. i asked him why prudent is giving wagner fighters a choice between joining the russian army are relocating to bell rose,

so pulling his head to block a type rope throughout this situation, there were a few figures in russia who could do it, producing has done so far and still be alive today, if proven, were to immediately kill production or have them jail. he risks turning provision into a martyr and promotion. remember, has tens of thousands of fighters loyal to him, not directly to the russian government. that's what's behind rushes effort to try to get these buckner fighters to sign on, officially with the army to try to get them to be directly loyal to the russian military and government and not personally to promotion. there's still a lot obviously that we don't know, but in trying to send promotion to bowers, that may be something of a compromise for pollutants government trying to sideline production without murdering him. and putting hasn't made any further mention of for goshen. despite this announcement that he would, he does a deal that it could go to a bell or ruse,

but what do you think will happen to production in the future now? as well? not mentioning production by name is a tactic, but he's actually used before. most famously with russian opposition leader, alexei nev only never mentioning the name of this other figure who could perhaps present an alternative to putting himself. now he's using that tactic with promotion. i think that the kremlin watched the images that emerged from rust of on dawn when wagner and production were there, were russians port out in the streets and treated provision in his forces like returning heroes. uh, that is something that i think frightened and shocked the kremlin quite a bit. the fact that there's this other figure who is able to garner support within russia and present something of an alternative to put him in. does this mean the end of the wagner mercenary group? i don't think so. wagner is, uh, you know, it's some of the best fighters that russia has. and at the end of the day,

this whole rebellion and struggle has been purportedly over a disagreement over how best to prosecute the war to a nihilist ukraine. wagner, some of the best fighters that russia has in versus not doing so well. they need these tens of thousands of guys to go back to ukraine and keep fighting to try to save this war effort. at the same time, they want to make sure that they don't keep roving around within russia. uh, you know, willy nilly doing what they've been doing for the last week. they need to get these guys under control and back on message. but i, i'm not clear on that point if they're banished or bell or roots or during the military, that would mean that the organization wagner would not no longer be in charge of this man. right? right, right. so they, they are trying to co opt wagner's fighters formally into the russian military. i think that's the best scenario in the eyes of the russian government to keep these relatively skilled fighters and have them formally under their control. but if

that's not possible, then at least try to get them out of the way, send them to billers, where they can't present as directive a threat to the russian government as they have in the past week. remember, they were only a couple of 100 miles away from rolling into moscow. i think they want to get these guys as far away as possible. this came as a surprise to a lot of people watching the events unfolds, but putting praise rushes unity on monday. what do you make of that as russia united country right now? i think that's a very open question. again, all point back to these videos that emerged of how russians were treating wagner. this rebellion was, was stifled pretty quickly. and again, we don't know the details of this deal and what happened behind the scenes. but there, you know, as things had progressed further, i think that everybody in the kremlin is wondering how many people across russia would have treated wagner in the same way that the people in the rest of on don treated them. pollutant of course now has to paint a picture of the unity has to reassert control and to try to firm up the myth that

his authoritarian regime is invulnerable and inevitable. he's trying to do damage control. now the claim, thanks for joining us. thank you. the ukrainian president, the load of mirrors, lensky says his forces are advancing in all directions as they battled deliberate territory occupied by russia. zalinski spent monday visiting and handing out towards the soldiers fighting in southern and eastern ukraine. he told the troops that, quote, everyone knows you're doing the most difficult work. grant has been making slow progress and sponsoring a new counter offensive against russia several weeks ago. us president joe biden says it's too early to draw any conclusions about the impact of the wagner group supported revolt and russia finds that fee and western allies were in close contact. he also said, he'd assured president, let them use lensky that us support for ukraine will remain strong. he dismissed

the idea that nation supporting ukraine had anything to do with the chaos and rush on saturday. the situation began to develop. as it did, i directed my national security team to monitor close the report to me, our by our i instructed them to prepare for a range of scenarios. i also convened our key allies on, on a zoom call to make sure we're all the same page is critical that we're in a coordinated in our response and coordinate and what we to anticipate. we're great . i agree with me that we had to make sure we gave put no, excuse me, i was, i gave food, no excuse to blame this on the west and to blame to sunday. don't we made clear that we were not involved? we had nothing to do with it. this is part of a struggle with in russian system. let's take a look at some of the other headlines from around the world. cities. the court in
