dealing with the growing tension, the change there currently is going to be inside the german w. west port winning offer is up in the world wide. and for every language level, learning german has never been simpler german to go. the how role did you have any per goshen really go in his wagner uprising has russia seemed the last of him, but it looks like he goes ins, balls, skills, and his people are still important for which in addition, several areas, for instance, enough for that my guess this week on complex own is russian investigative journalist and security services expert. andre still got off his audit and to our

website tracks. the russian intelligent services will put in purch the system which is a really good ad conduct to reprocess, especially against his own people. who have several s as the people in general that have ministers sends out. governance sends out how long can put and hold on to power 100. so that tough welcome to complex down. thank you for having me. you are in contact with whistle blowers and the russian security services. well, he did per goes and really stop his march toward moscow. well, because it was never about trying to take power and to take moscow, it was about red negotiation, his deal with foods and as a minister of defense and the ones you understood that he miscalculate that he wanted to still to gets some figure out the best situation so his son just columns to most scout, but it was most of it to play for a time when find that he got what you wanted or this what he could get out of the

situation. his stuff. nevertheless, he got quite far and it's being called the most dramatic challenge to put into this already since he came to power 23 years ago is for goes and still a threat to putting things. the biggest uh, the biggest uh, fraud is not big. goes into a said bob, do action that was an army, and that was the russian security services. everybody understood that big wars and while he might be extremely adventurous, yes, he has a lot of people on the, his come on several files and people bobs, xerox, and that was the army is what matters now and give us the fact that nobody wanted to stop recording and the security services that people have put in charge of providing the political stability to follow up, which is great. jim did absolutely nothing as a f, as the local office, central stuff on don jose party k themselves and the headquarters that signed a very warning signal to puts an end to moscow bad. it's not all okay. and these

people who are in charge of well protected him actually doing nothing. nevertheless, the kremlin has been trying to dismiss the uprising, calling it minor trouble. in contrast, you have the use top diplomat warning the prudent has lost the monopoly of force and an unstable rush. it becomes a risk. how serious do you see the uprising and how fragile is the russian state? again, i think the problem is not the only way for goes on here is uh, an extremely interesting conduct uh bought his uh, the options are limits. he doesn't have any uh, law public support provided by other members selves. there are some that leads for instance, and ottoman didn't support hamilton. they bought several things to be happened during the visit prize. and reg seemed a warning, for instance, fizz um now infamous of asia aware, a big goal is to sit in together verify depth to me to self defense. yes. cor,

of the. so is it that you had the rough minutes for intelligence? alex, save and a shave in life. a bob's eyes you off taking all gates and actually show you're going to rush them off. well, that's boss opposite the shore can for me and i immediately contact with my source, i sense of russian security to services and special forces and ask them what do they think? and the bozza idea of that you have to tell us how those there are some boots for intelligence. uh, basically saying, while you can have them, if you want. uh, and my people said, wow, actually i like say it was right. and i think that was even more worth some 4 points. and because in this case you have the most capable of madison's rushing, middle tray and russian security services, publicly questionnaire and uh, submitted through their say. given all of that, what you've just highlighted there, how much support do you think from corrosion might have had covertly from inside of

the security service? it is the military, the leads because i mean, it appeared that his human, his wagner mercenaries that they meant no resistance. yes, absolutely. the once again, i just wanted to stress as a f, as be decided to do absolutely nothing. and they had and they control online. some like why did they fail to stop if getting promotion is what wagner uprising earlier? why was the biggest uh, i think the answer is that separate goes on is, is it kind of, maverick, he's not part of the system. so for the system, for the russian system, for intelligent security, 10 minutes restructures, that's where the difficult to understand his place. and position everybody understands that it's all about puts into goes in personal connection. and the problem is nobody knows, for instance, uh, what is this connection as we speak. so maybe it's really bad, maybe is getting better, maybe is getting worse. so we don't now the general social,

they didn't know at the moment, those uprising what might be that connection. and they just decided to wait and see . you highlighted one particular point in your previous writing, um the fact that the security service in particular, in moscow, they called on wagner fighters to go and arrest your guinea per goes in their own leader. and this is especially extraordinary because the speeds, military counter intelligence, operatives are within wagner's ranks. how are you seeing this? because this is their job, isn't it isn't, isn't it a huge break and loyalty to the kremlin? how would this be being viewed right now by putting himself as a really good question? because i was this office for people icons from outside their selves. the system of the f is be off cost. it looks like a complete file. these people that put that to walk into cumberland involved the problems which might come up out of as a walk in a group as that was a primary drop. right? uh, and as i says be, is not only about to impressions,

it's about preventing this kind of thing stuff happened. and so they felt that there's upset there. but at the same time, the problem this puts in is that he is to some extent parts of the system. just remember that he is a trained kids, you'd be officer and in the similar circumstances. so 2 years ago. and that's and that's 1. 1 is a kid, you'd be in some wild people as a parent and they're all wanted to stage occluded, taught and topple gorbachev. most of the ranks are inside of the kitchen being decided to do exactly the same to wait and see, puts in did absolutely nothing. his friends, people, he now respects and who on now is a i'll on, is a key positions and as a russian security services the all the, the same be absolutely nothing, nothing and not to not to one. so you'll have this strange, emotional thing, shape and all false statement that actually when something really big is happening

is not up. there's a security services to decide when to opt, which is up. so the to that, uh, concept protective, uh, but never as of, as they have it up senior pentagon officials have highlighted that the uprising highlights poor coordination between the military and other security services. and can you give us a window into how deep the connections are, for example, between the military rushes security services and wagner in particular? well, 1st of all, i'm, i do not completely agree with this assessment. just remember that as a paid time off is uprising. the russian army kept finding that you're brand new and comprehensive, that it has no collapse of follows. the russian forces as a bottle filled. so the only thing they failed to face and the option to deal with was this particular mutant in offering garzon. and here you have all the problems. beller says lucas jenko said that he ultimately broke,

or the deal that sought precaution, his wagner forces abandoned their march toward moscow. is lucas shank over $2000000.00 humiliating fulton, or did he save him? well, i think, oh, the whole think about bill are we sound? look, i think i participation of cause made puts and locus to me a week. just remember that for many, many years, which it was familiar with, things that idea and met can it sacrifice the idea of national southern see that was such a big thing that you can ball just to find all kinds of pressure on this. if you want to while to promote this thing, and that is why they got those refreshments in our country because it is a wake off national southern sit. and while one, because a real problem puts in, got 2 kids a real problem. while he left his mind to pop that uh, alexander walker, son gotta go fix his internal program. so it does with look for pollution. really good lucas ankle also saying that promotion is now in bella roost. although there's been no independent confirmation. he also hasn't been heard for it from in more

than a week. what do you think is happening to per goshen is the soul lives? well, it's difficult to say, but i think he's still very much alive. uh, 1st of all, what is well, in his grades this situation is really difficult to understand what is going on bob's better of several interesting science plus default, the whole think about criminal charges. so it's changing. but as far as i guess on the side of as far as that everybody got it as a criminal charges find that adult, which is a big thing because one puts in and to come in wants to expel somebody for real. well, you have the criminal charges, it gets to be a spouse. and for instance, in my case, i'm a wanted man in russia and i have criminal charges against me. so if i ever get back to the county, i am facing up to 10 years in prison, and that is a guarantee i was never getting back. but for precaution, i decided to make an exception, so that has no criminal charges. so legally speaking, but as nothing to prevent him from getting back to the same pitch as

a vote to moscow to all that. now it's just safe at this pontiff, his business and pot for goes, you know, i mean he's, he's been promised this immunity. we have to say um, but he got richard who was as close ties to put in now put in his actually mentioned that the finances of precautions lucrative catering firm will be investigated. how do you see that? is this a signal that he could actually be prosecuted for financial crimes. busy or, you know, was put in just trying to take them down a notch. i think it's about some parts of precautions, business, business and bar. because of course it, there's some companies that are assigned. they've been that for years spot. they had no chance. now they got to as john's so that trying to win this. so contracts provided by the government times administer of defense. mothers looks like regardless ball skills and his people still important for puts in addition in several areas, for instance, in africa. and it looks like uh you come in doesn't want to completely dis,

bond walk now. and was that activation say in the middle standing africa progression had been railing against the top military brass for months. ultimately, he said that the kremlin state of reasoning behind the war in ukraine was false, wanting to put in, allow the threat posed by promotion to fester for so long. well, pushing on the stands, that's very clear that even in last are of unpopular wars could produce very popular generals. and these generals, at some moment my become a political fact that happens many times in russian history. pushing understands that he understands fights. he cannot do that to get out. so he wanted to have some accounts balance to that, some sort of maverick from my exposure programs ends and made a trip and to peep minute trade general's off balance. that's exactly what was the

role of precaution for all of these months. let's talk about the wagner motor scenario. griffin, what happens to them next? they've been thrown into disarray. the fight for control is said to have just begun . lucas tango has invited mercenaries to relocate to in a band into military base in the country. there are some reports of new satellite images appearing to show tents being set up in, in belarus, to that effect is that their best offer to go to bella roost. and are they likely to take it? well i think that that some moments put in just decided to relocate robin or to save his public image as someone who's still on uh in control of the situation. and then because it was stuck in relation to have well, by the soldiers, martian of the, they're all, it's in russia. so he decided to really catch him, him to bill our was. but that's cause, i mean, wagner has no other customers by the russian stage. biller, which is very much penetrated by

a bunch of russians. uh so it's not like he was expelled to some independent country and out of the free shop law. scott, that's not true. the us says that right now, they're continuing to see some elements of the wagner group in russian occupied territory. and ukraine. ukrainian intelligence says that wagner will not fight in ukraine any more. do you think that wagner in ukraine will go willingly or it's about an interesting question that we have some reports. uh, recent, actually today that uh, some wagner about offices. they use it as the statements that they stopped picture with 2 people. uh right now for fonts and then ukraine bots. um the language we use as the biggest is like we have stuff in for now. so maybe the outpatient for some of the office over to full, maybe they would get would be given, then you name. so, but i think some of them is of this group, the fonts and as they did before. let's talk a little bit more about how russians are viewing all of this ukranian presidents.

the landscape says that moscow has been suffering full scale weakness. he calls it for goes and has apparently tapped into the view that putting is a, is a corrupt system where the ruling, the lead had been emerging themselves and are more interested in please in put in then doing what is right for national interest to ordinary people. that that's a message which seems to have resonated how high is the dissatisfaction with bruton and food newsom as well, uh, in the middle of the tray. uh, the rear is a clear uh, spinning size russian generals as old as on not extremely competent. and it's a, it's a very interesting in our wonderful situation because it is right now that the russian army is gave some vision you found confidence in themselves because actually is, are you crazy on the fence? the physics seem to slow all that is the perception of the russian army is not my perception, but that's not how they caesar situation. they base fear that it could be

a really big no of a c. it's not that big and not back horrible. uh so that gets in this sense alpha uh, that sound not actually bad, bad. uh at the same time, but keep lame is age and you're all set and that is why they supported to some extent of silence. or they may be p gordon's criticism because they share the same feeling. but it does move that, that ready to just don't think about it. so they still got approval and the sit in class, we need to find visible federal for very long time. is that, but here's how the, the head of the c, i a is framing the situation. he says that this affection with the world will continue to not away at the russian leadership and that it creates a once in a generation opportunity for the c. i a to recruit spies in russia. you are very familiar with the security services. do you think that the c i will find fertile ground for recruitment as well? i think rather be as you know, there's a lot of wishful thinking. yeah. we're trying to audit to find every sign of,

of descent as a, as a signal that the system will inevitably collapse. and i know as a, in the model for several months, i would be extremely, i would be more cautious to be honest. it's not likely that lots of people accepted xyz yards of war, includes the russian, the, let's put you on those who are you good at conducting repressions, especially against his own people. we have several s as b people in jail. they have ministers in jail governance in jail. so it is a big thing for the russian society and lots of people in their lives found the stands i've. that's actually there is no way for them but to stay and to stay loyal to pruitt's. and so i would say, i would say that for c, i a, it's might be end up as soon as it uh, but i would be cautious also, the program is bad to say which with the best people find that it was a chance for defection with and right now for the russian, the lives because a folder restrictions, so for travel, i mean the suck with easy to,

to make it through europe. all it isn't as a stays the chances that the same people as a russian, that is what the think. ok, maybe now i start spine. so there are many concerns about so give, give me a chance to, to move on to alternative ends and not to stays that quite slim coating since the uprising he has been seeming to be bent on projecting normalcy and stability. we've seen him ramping on public appearances, and the week after the uprising, he gave a number of national addresses for training the rebellion. as a heroic episode, he travelled to the southern region of dag stand, where he sipped local cognac. he spoke about growing regional tourism. he even attended a technology fair in moscow. what are russians make of that? or are they buying it? well, no, not all of them off gums. so especially in big stages, bugs and proven, says you have lots of people who are still very supportive of pollution and they accept as a russian propaganda adoption of the of. and so that puts in my and,

or acid to avoid blood shit on to some extent you did actually have that. it was no real big launched at uh, except for this uh, unfortunate pilots. and it is appropriate for the middle of tray, not for that population. provision, i mean his rants, they really offer this alternative to the war propaganda. for many russians in unvarnished glimpse from the front lines you highlighted the useless and unjustified losses. convulsions really go back to regularly scheduled programming. well, that's a good question, but i think what that goes, we wanted to do, he wanted to become some sort of uh uh you will. the press if for says the russian society, i'll be of has a license to uh, tags the rest. and it leads to mobilize the rest of society. it puts in does one side. he still thinks that it's possible to win the visible default. the total

monthly is ation. but we don't know what might happen if say you agree on the offensive goes with the success a fall. we just don't know that might change the situation. and if that changes, they might be new space and your own property goes on, then people are, can, let's talk about prudent for us to shore up his power. first of all is a crack down under way. as that is one thing to which is clear. uh, also it gives us services as army as a national gallery. they loan, is it less than that? why do you have a program? is that oh no sort of circle of pollution is about to not go into fair. and i think it is a very bad signal for points and because, well what if tomorrow some of the guys say could do it? of all someone, all is the rest of the security council. now come opposite the russian television and say, wow, i'll wasn't, we're watching major go tail and we need to replace, give someone that would be a huge confusion. that is cliff right now. you,

if you look at the overall situation, though, russia's most senior generals, they, they've dropped out of you since the uprising. i'm thinking about general ross him off. he's report the not appeared in public. he's of course, in charge of the war effort and ukraine. the kremlin has also been deflecting questions about the whereabouts of general sort of the can, who is seen as aligned with precaution and believe to be detained. what do you think is happening to them? a while it's really difficult to understand. i've been checking the information about sort of a can for all these days. it looks like the reports about he was sent to prison, we kind of confirmed them, but he said it seems that he was at list, interrogate as, and it's quite interesting vibes we are here and visit rumors. it bows and middle trojan are also about not about security services, which is a very interesting thing. while you have these people, i'm is f as b as a national guard. all of the security services pulled in charge of putting his

personal security it and political stability. it is yet all the questions that come to has it's all about some of the trick. how much impact do you think these events of the past weeks are going to have on the war and ukraine? um, it's a good question because the one hand we see is that walk in our didn't participate directly, at least in big numbers and, and trying to selves you praying and contra offensive. it is a jump for the regular russian army. while at the same time walk, there is still a very capable force and they have his reputation ends. there are some miller trait, yet there is new confusion. now because of the, obviously i'm using, it stays by longer because of this policy who upheld full up so that the nothing well put us of course, enough of as was about to be spiel of his pilots were killed because of a on another the russian heroes but it was a middle track here and is that, that it would be no justice for the fall of his policy. and that samuel is,

nobody would be prosecuted for keeping this, this policy and that credit and you confusion, it means that it has a re, regular army still finds in the bottle failed. you will have a number of product miniature companies as an ottoman now is looking at risk product mutual company, as well as some suspicion because these guys all was approved frederick and kill russian soldiers and they can get away the fed. so these kind of confusing and long dollar my sites and situations about the felt the ukrainian counter offensive has, has not yet achieved significant success. according to nato's top commander in europe. do you think that now there is more pressure on putting to end the war? no, i don't think so. i think what pushing understands is uh there was such a big investment in inside. yeah. of your brand new encounter offensive. uh, wallace was a big thing for all 4 of your brand new and grabbing them as far as are you paying

and they just ship. it was a big thing from nate. jeff was a west in russia. it was played as a sign that the russian army well behaved at the and actually it was not extremely uh, great uh is the beginning of the war, but vegas and bats are. there is this uh, there is a strange feeling now, especially because it's all about history and the 2nd world war and all of that. so there is these ideas shaded by man, yet by the russian army, olga scouts of war. uh, and the very bad shape bought a guess and best uh on the way and puts you on this trying to capitalize on vis filling. i'd like to ask you one last question about the uprising, the wagner uprising because many are concerned that if putting does fall, the concern is that a replacement leader could be worse crumbling, critical krakowski said the following week, glimpse how the regimes inevitable fall is likely to come about and the forces that we'll seek to take over so called national patriots, led by another sog. if you look at the big picture,

do you think that russia is ultimately doomed to have one thug replaced by another? after putting of all our thoughts into it might happen because as a more visible goes, is it more as the russians the sides is getting used to visible? and now the, i guess it is a motional argument and save opposite will because there's so many casualties. there's so many people killed and even the people who felt well confused about the beginning of the war. now they have visited in growl and my villas someone gets killed by these ukrainian. so why should i feel sore and bouts of all so and some, and some way the support for that was guessing all it's not big about it's, it's most stable and it means that the hostess of the society projection itself does idea that while it's going to be with a long war and in the long war you get people like general sand. why,

while using very tough language, more and more and more popular pop law. and at some moment they might get some miles from position in depaula. now that's true. how long do you think putting has well, i think is we are talking about years, a condo, so that definitely have to leave it there. thank you so much for joining us on conflicts out. thank you. the,

it's all just practice or is that the nation race in brooklyn, with a wayne 7 months before russia attacked your crazy documents. daily life, the town hours of people lives look like dealing with the growing tension.

currently it's going to be inside coming perfectly served this robot will be caring for the elderly but it has a lot to learn before it gets to that point. so this machine operates with the use of applied physics. thanks to an unusual role model. the 90 minutes on d w. the same to think suggest to the gen love and binding thing,

step away from the fund. i'm not even allowed to go to my own car and everyone with later holes and every single day stuff getting you ready to meet the gentleman can join me, right. just do it on the w become a criminal pretty kind. a told me about sugars paralyzed tire societies, computers that are governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work. so that's how they can also watch it. now. guardians of truth, i hesitate almost every price,
