role and that he agreed to let his group operate in belarus. >> lukashenkoroposed solutions continue work in a lawful jurisdiction. >> lukashenko also said belarus and its army could benefit from wagner's combat experience. it has instructed his defense minister to discuss yevgeny prigozhin the matter with yevgeny prigozhin. >> russia's president praised members of his military and security forces in a ceremony this tuesday, putin was sticking to reassert his authority from the mercenary mutiny. agent link to him right in belarus from russia believed to be carrying mercenary bosses into exile. this is after he called off his mutiny with his fighters bearing down on the capital of russia, moscow. i thought a criminal case against him and the russian state meeting is agreeing to this, a deal on saturday diffused for now the crisis. putin told his military this tuesday that they helped avoid a civil war. >> you have acted firmly and harmoniously in a difficult situation. you have proved with each of your loyalty to the russian people the military got, you showe

belarus yet. they are still there in the occupied luhansk region , oleksandr lukashenko announced this. with the military in the belarusian chamber of independence to , as he himself said, seriously discuss the latest events in russia and belarus. as in russia and in ukraine lukashenko told his version of the event , and my colleague oleg gallif oleg is ready to tell more about it. i congratulate you and pass on the floor. congratulations katya, congratulations to the audience freedom in the morning prigozhin has officially arrived in belarus at least this was announced the day before by oleksandr lukashenko at the ceremony of awarding epaulettes to the senior officers, although prigozhin himself is nowhere to be seen for the fourth day after being imprisoned. glory to lukashenka prigozhin was not even given a security guarantee regarding the mediation of the attack and mutiny during which prigozhin moved to moscow with his troops, so lukashenko says, the belarusian brigade was ready to be transferred to russia, and it was he who brought the troops of belarus to full combat readiness i.

belarus lukashenko against whom they intend to be friends and why again deuce? the nato counteroffensive in ukraine failed, but the enemy's reserves are still there. as fascist germany an epigraph to today's events could be a fragment of vladimir putin's interview with my colleague andrey kondrashov several years ago, but you know how to forgive. yes and that it is impossible to forgive betrayal? betrayal is exactly what happened. now by the end of the week it's perfect. it is clear that an armed rebellion has taken shape in russia. yevgeny prigozhin blamed his chbk units. wagner in rostov-on-don, occupied the location of the headquarters of the ministry of defense there and announced a campaign against moscow in these conditions, vladimir putin addressed the citizens of russia, where he called the criminal adventure of treason that had occurred a betrayal and ordered russia to be completely cut down. armed law enforcement forces and special combat positions repulse enemy attacks. do it heroically, knowing once again tonight i spoke with the commanders of all di

the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenko, confirming the head of the wagner mercenary group, yevgenyrigozhin, has arrived in the country. prigozhin agreed to leave pressure for belarus when he called off his armed rebellion over the weekend. russian president vladimir putin is seeking to reassert his authority. he announced an official probe into prigozhin and his group. today, he also thanked russian troops for preventing what he called a civil war in russia. reporter: playing the part of russia's commander-in-chief, this was a display of vintage vladimir putin. the strongman leader paying tribute to members of his military national guard and security services, in the lavish surroundings of the kremlin. leading a moment of silence for the russian airmen killed by wagner fighters. and casting the mercenary's aborted march on moscow as a success for the russian military, and a sign of the country's resolve. >> you defended the constitutional order, lives, security, and freedom of our citizens. saved our motherland from upheavals, and effectively stopped a civil war. you acted clearly

he _ lukashenko in belarus? a couple of things there. he is _ lukashenko in belarus? e is actually a puppet of president putin, so he doesn't have the luxury of saying yes or no. he could also benefit from the muscle that the wagner group provides. there are parliamentary and local elections next year in belarus and then he is supposed to face the ballot box by the year after. also, again, ithink it could be a base for the wagner group, with the backing of belarus, to strike. it doesn't mean that yevgeny prigozhin is safe. the hand of russia extends very far into belarus and if i were yevgeny prigozhin, if i were walking the streets of minsk and someone comes up streets of minsk and someone comes up to me, run the other way very quickly. up to me, run the other way very cuickl . ~ ., ., up to me, run the other way very cuickl . ~ . . , ., quickly. we have a brief moment left. quickly. we have a brief moment left- when _ quickly. we have a brief moment left- when we — quickly. we have a brief moment left. when we look _ quickly. we have a brief moment left. when we look

had a telephone conversation the night before, the leaders of belarus and russia, as reported in the press service of alexander lukashenko, president of belarus, he informed the president of russia in detail about the results of negotiations with the leadership of the dude wagner, vladimir putin supported and thanked the belarusian colleague for the work done , we recall, in agreement with the president of russia , having additionally specified, through our own channels, our president held negotiations with the head of wagner pmc, yevgeny prigozhin, negotiations. they lasted throughout the day, as a result of which they came to agreements on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on the territory of russia evgeny prigozhin accepted the proposal of the president of belarus to stop the movement of armed persons of the wagner company on the territory of russia and take further steps under the influence of the escalation of tension. reactions in belarus dude wagner on the air of vladimir solovyov told political scientist vadim hymn today statement of the security council of belarus what was said? by the way, i w

reported by the press service of the president of belarus, and so on press release russian president vladimir putin in the morning. on saturday, lukashenkohead of state of the situation in southern russia. we agreed on joint actions. after that, lukashenka held talks with prigozhin , the president of belarus further specified, through his own channels, in agreement with the president of russia, he held talks with the head of the wagner pmc, yevgeny prigozhin. it is known that the negotiations lasted throughout the day, and as a result of which the parties came to agreements on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on the territory of russia jointly. it appears that prigozhin accepted lukashenka's proposal to stop the movement of wagner's armed persons across russia and take further steps to escalate tension . belarus according to the ministry of defense, a unit of the russian army continues to carry out combat missions throughout front lines. tonight, high-precision weapons hit the centers of electronic intelligence and aviation equipment of the air force of ukraine. in addition, in response to the attack on the bridge acro

civil war on the territory of russia, and as it turned out that prigozhyn is in the republic of belarus, lukashenko said that the wagnerites would help the belarusian army to master new types of weapons, and they would advise them, how could it be that, on the one hand, lukashenko is friends with putin and, as it were, an intermediary, and on the other hand , he hides those who tried to commit mutiny on the territory of the russian federation . in principle, if 25,000 wagnerites or former wagnerites enter there, this will be quite enough to demolish lukashenka , well, again, it is difficult for me to look for some logic here, because, well, putin, uh, back to this topic, what, uh, putin he himself is not going to, not that i think he can and wants to, because he obviously cannot punish these wagnerites even from his own point of view, that's why we have to look for logic in that and how can lukashenko accept them and if it's those who raised a riot against putin, well, that's, well, inadequate well, we can't ask this question because it all goes beyond any kind of logic, that is, it seems to me tha

war on the territory of russia, and how it turned out that prigozhin was in the republic of belarus. lukashenkoat the wagnerites would help now the belarusian armies to master new types of weapons will advise them, how can it be that on the one hand lukashenko is friends with putin and you seem to be a mediator, and on the other on the other hand, he hides those who tried to commit sedition on the territory of the russian federation, whether it will happen that the wagnerites who are now in the republic of belarus will commit a rebellion against lukashenka, because in principle, if 25,000 wagnerites or former wagnerites go there, then this will be quite enough to demolish lukashenka, well, again, it is difficult for me to look for any logic here, because, well, putin, uh, back to this topic, that uh, putin himself, uh, is not going to , not what i think he can and because he wants to can't obviously punish these wagnerites even from their own point of view, that's why we have to look for logic in that. and how can lukashenko accept them? and if they are the ones who raised the point against put

were preparing a coup because then the second round of elections was to be held in belarus from august 7, 2020, and lukashenkohem there somewhere in to the podminskyi because they rented a hostel or some kind of lodging there in order to be there and the kgb in belarus took these fighters, then lukashenko promised that well, we will see, maybe we will give it to you, and then he still gave it to the russian federation, what an irony it's just fate now that the leader of these wagners turns out to be again well, i don't know where he is now, maybe he's dead there, he recorded that poor audio recording and something has already happened to him, it can also be, but in this situation, the most interesting thing is the further fate of the beauty. do you think that putin will go to its liquidation because, well, for putin, what happened is, well, not according to the concepts, although according to the concepts of the same beauty, they have their own mastery of the concept, he was in prison, and he was an officer of the kdb, and it is clear that the one who catches a thief is not always well can get along with that

belarus revealed its leader, alexander lukashenko, had been holding talks with prigozhin and putin. zhin is leaving for belarus and criminal charges against him and his troops will be dropped. as wagner's leader leaves for belarus troops, i spoke to hanna liubakova, a belarusianjournalist and researcher. welcome to the programme and thank you for being with us. firstly, what you have reports that it was president lukashenko that brokered the deal. why was he the person to do that, you think? i deal. why was he the person to do that, you think?— do that, you think? i think we should not — do that, you think? i think we should not exaggerate - do that, you think? i think we should not exaggerate his - do that, you think? i think we | should not exaggerate his role here and first both minsk and moscow kept saying that he played a really significant role but at the same time he may have been just the technical player here. you may have just served as a, sort of support after the renegotiations took place between the real actors, who is putin and yevgeny prigozhin said the results of that

solution to the situation was worked out during negotiations mediated by the president of belarus alexander lukashenkowho agreed on his mission with the russian leader , grateful to the president of belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko for his efforts and contribution in peaceful resolution of the situation. but i repeat exactly the patriotic spirit citizens of the consolidation of the entire russian society have played these days, a decisive role. this support allowed us to overcome the most difficult trials for our motherland together late the night before in the kremlin, a meeting of the president with the heads of law enforcement agencies was held. prosecutor general igor krasnov , interior minister vladimir kolokoltsev, minister of defense sergei shoigu, director of the fsb , alexander bortnikov, head of the russian guard, viktor zolotov, head of the fso, dmitry kochnev, head of the investigation committee alexander bastrikin, and also security council secretary nikolai patrushev and head of the presidential administration. anton war gathered in order to thank for the work done during. and i

because apparently, lukashenko, the dufus dictator of belarus was the one who made the call. he made a call to prigozhin to offer a very strange off ramp to this very strange crisis. the end result is that prigozhin has gone to belarus to lukashenko's country to live out his days? what? i don't know. nobody seems to know what exactly is going to happen to him there or to his wagner group fighters. are they all going to belarus with him? putin gave a speech to the nation from an undisclosed location in which he appeared enraged and said this was all betrayal and treason and there would be no mercy. he just as quickly appears to have backed off that and now gave a speech today saying it's fine. those guys can all just stay in belarus. so obviously there are many questions now. did putin almost just get toppled in russia? i mean a hostile force, a hostile, heavily armed force got within 150 miles of moscow with apparently no resistance whatsoever. so that doesn't seem good even if it was only a dry run, only a dress rehearsal. and what the heck is going on with this other countr

belarus. of course, she denied what lukashenko says, eh, you panorama people, what do you think about lukashenkoeiving an international warrant from the international criminal court for deportation ukrainian children, so the case is two and a half thousand ukrainian children were moved to the territory of the republic of belarus, so-called camps, or lukashenka's rhetoric will change when he understands that this warrant is indefinite and he can sit with the gas for a long time. no statements from international organizations. nothing for a long time. they change and do not affect anything, at least these people putin and lukashenko, they still enjoy the death of people. and this brings them pleasure, and for the sake of preserving their power, they will go to any lengths to appeal to some the common sense of the law and so on and so on, you should not appeal to missiles, tanks and f-16, which we have been waiting for so long when oleksandr hryhorovych and the rest of these scoundrels in minsk and in moscow are babbling about nato, which they like and dislike the alliance is expanding and we just

the end result is that prigozhin has gone to belarus to lukashenko's country to live out his days, i o know exactly what's going to happen to him there, or to his wagner group fighters. are they all going to belarus with him? putin gave a speech to the nation from an undisclosed location in which he appeared enraged, and said this was all betrayal and treason, and there would be no mercy. he just as quickly appears to back off that, and now gave a speech today, saying it is fine, those guys can just stay in belarus. so, obviously, there's many questions now. did putin almost just get toppled in russia? i mean, a hostile force, a hostile heavily armed force got within 150 miles of moscow, with apparently no resistance whatsoever. so, that doesn't seem good, even it if it was only a dry run, only address rehearsal. and what the heck is going on with this other country, with belarus, and lukashenko being in the middle of this? what happens with this immense well, experienced, well armed private army that just tried a mutiny against russian forces? and now, maybe they are cooling their he

wagner after that , a telephone conversation took place between the president in russia and belarus, lukashenko informed putin about as a result of the negotiations, the russian leader supported and thanked the belarusian colleague for the work done. negotiations through official minsk became possible after the appeal of vladimir putin the president of russia emphasized that he distributes the internal only into the hands of the opponents of our country, which these days is defending its independence and sovereignty. russia today is waging a hard fight for its future , repelling the aggression of neo-nazis and their masters. virtually the entire military economic information machine in the west is directed against us. we are fighting for the life and safety of our people, for our sovereignty and independence, for the right to be and remain russia's state with a thousand-year history. this is the battle that decides the fate of our the people require the unity of all forces , the unity of consolidation and responsibility, when everything that weakens us must be thrown aside, any that our externa

so i am convinced that nuclear weapons will be on the territory of belarus - this will be all in the next few days. ago that lukashenkous , the audience who is pleased with him happily talks about the fact that a million people can die when they use nuclear weapons, and how many nuclear weapons are there if they are in belarus in a country that once declared itself a nuclear-free state is a threat to security . for the example of ukraine, europe and other countries understood as a united transitional cabinet that this is a threat, of course, primarily for belarusians and for all neighboring countries, because in fact belarus becomes a target on the map of europe in the event of a nuclear conflict , it is clear that strikes can also be made on the territory of belarus. it is not clear that this is being done all the time with the war that russia started. lukashenko is needed against ukraine . let's see. what else 4 on november 2, 1021, a few months before the beginning of russia's aggression against ukraine , the military doctrine of the so-called union state of belarus was signed by lukashenko against ukraine. nuclear

people in the world alexander lukashenko vladimir putin and yevgeny come in handy, but we know from peskov’s statement that the head of the wagner pmc quote will go to belarusme will tell, but last week once again showed that alexander lukashenko can very effectively negotiate the motive and subject of the agreement may be different sovereign interests belarus, protection of the interests of the union state, peace in the region or even peace in the whole world, but when there is a problem, then it needs to be solved with all the participants in the conflict. let's again recall the normandy format and the negotiations on ukraine putin poroshenko merkel alan it is obvious that alexander lukashenko has very different attitudes towards them, it is also obvious that the participants in those negotiations could not stand each other and would prefer to make some loud statements against each other , but statements do not solve the problem, so to solve the problem. need to to discard everything superfluous and solve the problem, which is why lukashenka helped everyone in ukraine to gather not for the sake of statements, but for the sake of a real solution to the pro

luke putin lukashenko is a product of his soto upbringing. belarus often seems stuck in that past. ike russia the kgb was never disbanded or renamed. before entering politics lukashenko ran a collective farm, later had himself filled as president, digging up carrots or potatoes to show he never forgot his roots but behind the image lurked a thug. when a dissident was flying over the country in 2021 belarus air traffic control called in a bomb threat, causing the plane to land. the man was arrested. like so many dictator, lukashenko has an eye on the future, creating a dynasty, grooming his young son, sometimes dressed in a military uniform for leadership, often taking him to meetings with world leaders. his intervention to broker an apparent truce in russia and help putin by helping wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin suggests his own fate and his family's is more intertwined with russia than ever before. nicdeal could mean for their country. coming up, we speak with the chief adviser for opposition leader svetlana, about what they want the u.s. and other western countries to do, next. >>

also, if the kolenovtsy enter the territory of belarus, i am deeply convinced that no one, not lukashenko'sy or him, there, it's the kgb, or any security forces, will not resist. to minsk and they will be met by people with flowers, so yes, such an option is possible. and in order for it to become er-er possible er-er faster, of course , a political agreement is necessary, and all of belarus is waiting for it . by the way, there is one more thing that also needed some clarification. today we heard this rhetoric from svitlana tsykhanovskaya, she began to evaluate the regime of the russian federation and the russian federation itself as a phenomenon in more concrete and clearer definitions. moscow, and you also know this, was reflected in kyiv by certain such misunderstandings, and now by muscovites and by some means, but physically she was never in moscow because she was deported to lithuania immediately after the elections. as you remember, 3 days after the elections, that's why these statements are just rhetoric and it was such that belarus has to balance to some extent. personally, it rem

to belarus and the relocation of part of the wagnerites, which, by the way, the president of belarus lukashenkodent, is a negative factor and that stated the president of poland, andrzej duda, we know that in belarus , according to the russian press, some military camps for the wagnerites are already being built . only in ukraine , how does this threaten the west of western europe ? for belarus, and for ukraine, of course. i think that we need to wait and see what these wagnerites will do in the future, whether they will really receive such a military securing financing i think that they really carry a serious danger of the internal environment, they can join a part of the security service that will protect lukashenka himself, they will protect him both from the russians or separately with a new home for the wagnerites in order to continue their activities during the year of the attack from belarus why because if his soldiers cross the border they will indeed suffer a huge defeat they simply won't listen to him over the past few weeks ukrainian intelligence and president zelensky repeats that t

belarus. eric: for now, she continues to play the role of president in exile, even delivering a new year's presidential greeting. eric: lukashenko dancing with a miss belarus contestant. having forced his opponent to flee, he now mocks her for trying to lead from abroad. eric: but the lack of central control has been one of the revolution's strengths. people have formed their own protest groups: women, pensioners, neighborhoods. it's meant lukashenko can't stop the revolt by jailing the leaders, but after one particularly violent protest we find maria dejected. riot police arrested her and took her to a station to be charged. maria: they saw me, and they're just like, "i think you have pretty much fun these days, let's go." just like, "what?" "let's go, let's go, let's go." they were smiling and, you know, just like, "we're going for a ride now." eric: in two weeks she'll go to court to face a possible jail term. it's small comfort that as a woman she'll probably fare better than the men. maria: belarus is not really country full of feminists, so a lot of men think that we're just, you know, just nice girls and that's it. they d

people there a coup because then the second round of elections in belarus was supposed to take place on august 7 , 2020 , and lukashenkon podminsk because they took some kind of hostel or some kind of overnight accommodation there in order to be there and the kgb in belarus took it later lukashenko promised zelensky that well, we'll see, maybe we'll give it to you, and then he still gave it to the russian federation, but the irony is just fate now that the leader of these wagners, well, he finds himself again. well, i don't know where he is now, maybe he's dead and he recorded that e- it's a poor audio recording, and something has already happened to it, it can also be, but in this situation, the most interesting thing is the future fate of the beauty. do you think that putin will go for his liquidation because, well, for putin, it's not, by definition, what it happened, although according to the concepts of the same beauty, they have their own ladies, that guy was in prison and he was an officer of the kdb, and it is clear that the one who catches a thief does not always get along with that thief until the end, that i

ones, it was that the maintenance of these weapons costs more than their production, so belarus maybe lukashenko can talk we don't know a lot of things, maybe he means we are the first emperor. i don't understand what he means there , but the lies and the brad that he brought there in that forest, well, it's just a refined me, i especially liked about his arrival in lviv and secret negotiations with our leader, hura, well, it’s just fantastic , why to lviv, why not to uzhgorod, not to lutsk, somehow she chose that way. that is, it all has to be divided into a very, very large number, and there is very little prada. at the same time, the belarusian position blames the westerners politicians in the fact that they seem to be silent about the placement of tactical nuclear weapons outside of russia since the collapse of the soviet union in 1991, and why is the world quietly watching because, as you explained, everything is under control and if it were not moved putin is this tactical nuclear the weapons are all accounted for and anyway the west sees it and understands everything and knows how difficu

had a telephone conversation the night before, the leaders of belarus and russia, as reported in the press service of alexander lukashenko , the president of belarus informed the president of russia in detail and vladimir putin supported and supported the results of negotiations with the leadership of wagner pmc thanked the belarusian colleague for the work done, we recall, in agreement with the president of russia , having additionally clarified, through our own channels, our president held negotiations with the head of the dude wagner, yevgeny prigozhin, negotiations. they lasted all day, as a result of which they came to agreements on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on russian territory escalation of tension. exclusive details of the agreement of the president of belarus, the head of the pmc wagner to resolve the crisis on the air, vladimir solovyov, was told by a political scientist in this gigin, the cody of the morning telephone conversation between president lukashenko and president putin e. it was around 10:00 am. how did events develop? uh, and we can say that vladimir vladimirovich was even

last week there was a statement from the university of the self-proclaimed president of belarus, alexander lukashenko , let's first listen to this statement tomorrow, but worse conditions for russia and belarus , everything to this. the only thing that we did not solve was the problem in 14-15 , when there was no army in ukraine, no readiness against everything, they wanted to peacefully somehow regulate, they created a capable armed force during this time, that is, look, mr. pavlo, earlier the self-proclaimed said that the only thing that can cross the border between belarus and ukraine is belarusian tractors . we did not solve this issue together with putin earlier in 2014-2015. do you think this is another statement by hryhorovich al lukashenko or could there be something behind it, but pay attention even in your video and i saw a longer uh from everyone sitting at the table i i won't say the russian representative there, but somehow i don't feel any inspiration from lukashenka's words, they are completely gone, their eyes are somehow at the table and they are looking at the table and they are loo

for solving the situation was worked out at negotiations mediated by the president of belarus alexander lukashenko, who agreed on his mission with the russian leader grateful to the president of belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko for his efforts and contribution to the peaceful resolution of the situation. but i repeat, it was the patriotic mood of the citizens and the consolidation of the entire russian society that played a decisive role these days. this support allowed us to overcome the most difficult trials for our motherland together late last night in the kremlin , a meeting of the president with the heads of law enforcement agencies was held, the meeting was attended by prosecutor general igor krasnov interior minister vladimir kolokoltsev mr. defense sergei shoigu director of the fsb alexander bortnikov head of the national guard viktor zolotov head of the fso dmitry kochnev head of the investigative committee alexander bastrikin, as well as secretary of the security council nikolai patrushev and head of the presidential administration anton war in order to thank for the work done

yevgeny prigozhin accepted the proposal of the president of belarus alexander lukashenko on stop the persons with the wagner company on the territory of russia and take further steps. x go and escalate tension, the result was again i will quote an absolutely profitable and acceptable option for decoupling the situation with a guarantee and without any chvkner fighters. it is also known that against the backdrop of russian events, alexander lukashenko held two meetings with the country's power bloc and with the military, all departments and public expressed support for russia unification of the country and belarus has been and remains an ally of russia , fully sharing the goals and objectives special military operation. we talked about the appeal of the security council. belarusians consider provocations and internal conflicts as a gift to the collective west, which can take advantage of the situation. this will lead to disaster, belarusian. the people have always been and will be with russia, this is the final statement on the eve of about 9 pm, the president of russia , belarus, aga

lukashenko in belarus and putin in russia were feeling the heat that they would have a mini moment like we had in 1989 and the berlin wall, because there was momentum and foment within the streets. and the people supporting this rebellion were wanting to go after putin in moscow and then belarus, lukashenko. so lukashenko and you continue stemmed the tide and struck a deal which they can get back to business as they want to do in ukraine. lawrence: kristin, prigozhin was lethal. he was worse than putin. when you see the bodies stacked up in ukraine. the heads on stakes. if he had his way he would have attacked kyiv as well. what does you continue do next now that he doesn't have that mercenary that almost wanted to inflict more pain than he did. >> two things. first i think with prigozhin it's a reminder to be careful what you wish for. in russia, there are actually people who are potentially worse than vladimir putin. the people who would challenge him from power. some of them are nationalists he has in prison. but he's weakened politically so people will be looking around for other op

meanwhile, the self-proclaimed president of belarus lukashenko has again given a false signal about putin'seadiness for peace. i quote putin's assistant from belarus . this is the position of the russian president , this is the belarusian position . lukashenko, in the tradition of his belarusian propaganda , said that you are of course all the way to us. who does not want peace? well, the key story about the peace plan was not accepted by the entire civilized world . to include in the conversation oleksiy orzhel, former minister of energy and environmental protection of ukraine in the 19-20s. good day, mr. oleksiy . good day . people's deputy of ukraine oleg synyuka also works in our studio. now together we will talk about the threat posed by the destruction of the kakhova hpp, the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, actually, the level of the kakhova reservoir is decreasing and in the last day it has decreased by almost one meter , please explain to the boy's mind what this means, we understand that the water will fall fall fall e when it can reach a critical level in time and what can happe

there's some stories coming out of belarus that it was luke shank oh, the president -- lukashenko, thet may have been somebody else. and we don't really know what the deal is, why he turned around, if indeed he's really committed to turning all the way around, going back to rostov, going back to ukraine. there's a lot we don't know yet, and i think we'll watch this carefully, see if anybody else throws in with prigozhin even at this late time. >> how destabilizing, ambassador, is all of this, this chaos that's unfolding to vladimir putin? >> it has to be a big problem for him. he had been focused on ukraine, and his soldiers, his military, his leaders have been focused on ukraine. and now he's focused on staying in power. he's focused on prigozhin, a threat to him. he's worried about some of the other folks around him that he's not so sure about. so the focus has clearly shifted, and that's got to have an effect in ukraine. you mentioned earlier that the ukrainians are mounting this counteroffensive. the russian soldiers on the other side of that counteroffensive have to worried that t

ukrainian conflict, these topics were touched upon in an interview with alexander lukashenko to russia-1 tv channel, belarus is ready for any development of events without hesitation. if necessary, the red line. the president of belarus called a full-scale aggression. against our country, nato is pulling equipment and contingents to our borders, and does not hesitate to conduct exercises throughout europe in general and in poland and the baltic states in particular. if perishing who goes on escalation. this is definitely not belarus , on the contrary, minsk is extremely cautious about the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in our country arguments and deterrent, to cool the hot head. you already have enough of nato, of course, you can in order to answer. many say, well , father, you know, he is like that. yes, i’m like that when it comes to my people about my state, and then, i won’t allow what we created here, squirmed for a quarter of a century , together with the belarusian people created this independent state, that i will give them 10 million to be torn to pieces , and the russians. how many more m

they can say the same thing, and i said that russia was lucky with president putin, and belarus with president lukashenkolso add luck that we don’t have oligarchic regimes in russia in belarus today. here, unlike ukraine in ukraine, uh, the nationalist movement receives funding not so much from the west as from their oligarchs, who raised these guys, fed them, took them out on the street, literally paid them for classes in gyms, where they strengthened their physical fitness and built up muscles in the literal and figurative sense in order to use them at the right time , and colleagues quite rightly said that these phenomena there were in russia what to make a secret out of this, we openly talk about our problems. i remember very well moscow in the mid-zero years, where people with my hair color even walked in the center in the dark a very risky business, because they were marching skinheads, because the okolofutbol movement was extremely radical right. uh, but pay tribute to president putin to the russian security forces. they did not allow something more to grow because of this, although even in the ol

lot of talk about him being sent into exile following a deal brokered by the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenkoy, who said that yevgeny prigozhin is moving to belarus and criminal charges against them are being dropped. yevgeny prigozhin himself has been very conspicuously and unusually silent on social media. the past two days, he published statement after statement until yesterday evening, and since that time, his channels of communication via social media, they have been silent. it remains a key question that needs to be answered. what happens to yevgeny prigozhin next, where is he now, and what will he do next?— and now to the final day of glastonbury. sophie ellis bextor has performed on the main pyramid stage following a sucession of big name stars like lizzo, lana del rey and american rock legends guns n roses. but all eyes will be on what is billed as eltonjohn�*s final uk live performance this evening. i am right in front of the pyramid stage where eltonjohn will take the stage at 9:00 tonight. these are the front row fans getting ready for elton john. if you look over here, look, thos

the agreement that was reached with the tact of the face of alexander lukashenko, the president of belarus, and the kremlin spokesman recounted details of it, based on one of the clauses of the agreement, meipushin has guaranteed in complete security for the country of belarus, the criminal case of alipur region will be dismissed, wagner forces will also be pardoned for their merits in special operations, and some of them who did not participate in the armed rebellion, the ministry of defense will sign a new cooperation agreement, while on friday night and day saturday the western media mixed the news of the right and the wrong to intensify the psychological war against russia and deepen the gap, but with the announcement of the agreement and the withdrawal of wagner's forces, the page turned this time, and it was the russian media that showed the images of the retreat on saturday night. the response forces published the operational areas and goshim's departure to belarus, while the united states and the west had opened a special account on wagner's rebellion, now they called for an immedi

on tuesday, belarus�*s leader aleksandr lukashenko revealed that the wagner chief flew to the belarusnsk, but there's uncertainty now over the wagner leader's exact current location after his plane was seen flying back to st petersburg. and there are concerns in poland about what prigozhin�*s rival in minsk means for their security. the polish government has said they will be strengthening the border with belarus, to protect against any wagner trip that might now move to the country. we can speak now to kristine berzina, the german marshall fund, a non—partisan think tank. she focuses on geostrategic analysis within europe. thank you so much forjoining us here on bbc news. let me ask you, first of all, how has prigozhin and what's happened over the weekend changed the status quote in russia, especially in terms of putin and his power? especially in terms of putin and his ower? , ., , especially in terms of putin and his ower? , .,, ., ., ., especially in terms of putin and his ower? , ., ., ., , .,~ , especially in terms of putin and his ower? , w, , , ., power? this was a ma'or shake

belarus? >> first of all, lukashenko is not the president of belarus.on who seized power and keeps people as hostages. going to your question, we don't have confirmation that prigozhin arrived in belarus. the information about wagners camps in belarus has not been confirmed either. the goal is to mislead. nevertheless, i don't know what prigozhin intends to do in belarus, but he's definitely not welcome in our country. he's a war criminal and he can bring the war to belarus. we don't want that. we heard from prigozhin today that lukashenko promised him to legalize the wagner crew. what that means in practice, we don't know. there are rumors that wagner was to open up in our territory. if that happened, there could be threats. just imagine thousands of foreign troops in our territory. prigozhin might be involved in military training or whatever. >> to your point, i know you and your team -- >> banishment. >> sorry. we lost you for a moment. finish your thought. >> just heard an interesting opinion today that we don't know if banishment of prigozhin is de

confirmed that he allegedly and indeed gave nuclear weapons to the self-proclaimed president of belarus , lukashenko, who immediately reported to his propagandists that weapons with a nuclear charge were already allegedly in before him, the dictator lukashenko claimed that putin will provide nuclear weapons to all states that will enter into an alliance with russia, this is how he reacted to the words of the president of kazakhstan, which tokaeva herself said about that that the nuclear integration of russia and belarus creates a problem within the eurasian economic union, let me remind you that recently moscow and minsk signed an agreement on the deployment of russian tactical nuclear weapons in belarus, and these actions fundamentally undermine the principle of global security, said the adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine mykhailo podolyak, he emphasized that the answer is statue of the tough position of the nuclear states in economic sanctions against rosatum and financial sanctions against belarus and russia about this situation that has developed with russian nuclear w

well, right now , president of belarus lukashenko began his speech, so we are waiting for the detailshis negotiations with prigogine, where the leader of an armed rebellion right now unknown to anyone. anyway, about this. suddenly, the pentagon unexpectedly announced lukashenka himself just said that his position is that if god forbid it collapses, russia, belarus and all the rest will simply remain under the rubble, everything will die absolutely. we are waiting for another statement. well, quite strange sounded from the white house on the weekend in washington. you won’t believe that he had, as stated, good direct contacts with russia and expects and continuation in the kremlin at the same time. no more good contacts. the us did not report. on the other hand, western leaders all, like one all yesterday, repeated the mantra that they had none. by the time of prigozhin’s rebellion, while everyone pointed to this event as a sign of a split in the internal struggle among the russian elite, in the evening joe biden made the statement that the united states played no role in the rebellion

children from the territory of the ukrainian state, meanwhile, the self-proclaimed president of belarus lukashenko flaunts in front of the propaganda scabby that he has already received nuclear weapons from putin, while lukashenko says that he himself asked and wanted nuclear weapons to be placed on the territory of the republic of belarus in ukraine the right-hand man of ramzan kadyrov, the deputy of the state duma of russia, adam adalimkhanov , was written about by the russian public and the military later, the truth is that kadyrov denied this information based on previous information dalimkhanov could move the column of russians under the cover of crime where a shell from haimers hit what dankhanov is known dalkhanov is one of kadyrov's confidants who lead the financial affairs of the leader of chechnya abroad, including in the united arab emirates, but so a blow to e dalimkhanov can be a blow to kadyrov when this is what the russian media are writing about the fact that the wagnerians made a reference to delimpkhanov, the wagnerians seem to have given the coordinates of where he was. well, we

belarus. lukashenko's going to give a press conference. i'm going to put the words press in quotes.some questions tomorrow. what are we going to find out? >> reporter: well, i'm looking forward to this press conference. this is one of the weirdest moments i could think of in my career covering this region. so, to be honest, i have no idea. what i find interesting is putin, for 20 years, has told us about sovereignty as the holiest value in his view of russia. so nobody from the exterior can meddle in the internal political process. now this same guy has allowed lukashenko or asked, even, lukashenko to help dealing with a completely internal problem, a problem that is entirely of putin's own making. so, this is really interesting. >> so, max, putin from that undisclosed location with the bland background, you know, not the opulent room that we're used to, right, with the marble and all the flowers and all that sort of thing. so, i guess i'm just wondering what position do you think putin's in right now. and, max, why did nothing happen to prigozhin? i know something may still happen

children from the territory of the ukrainian state, meanwhile, the self-proclaimed president to belarus , lukashenkoont of the propaganda scabby that he has already received nuclear weapons from putin, at the same time lukashenko says that he himself asked and himself wanted to nuclear weapons were placed on the territory of the republic of belarus in ukraine, the right hand of ramzan kadyrov, deputy of the state duma of russia, adam adalimkhanov was also wounded , the russian public and military officers wrote about this later, the truth is that kadyrov denied this information, according to preliminary information , dalimkhanov could be moving the russian column under the cover of crime where a heimers projectile hit what is dankhanov known for? dalkhanov is one of kadyrov's confidants who lead the financial affairs of the leader of chechnya abroad, including in the united arab emirates, and hence the blow on e dalimkhanov may be a blow to kadyrov, at the same time in the russian public they are writing about the fact that the wagnerians made a reference to delimpkhanov , the wagnerians seem to hav

the leader of belarus, lukashenko, speaking out as prigozhin himself settles in. the wagner group leader is in belarus after a failed mutiny in russia. but he's not saying much and has no plans to. he doesn't want to, as you just heard there, speak to nobody including vladimir putin. prigozhin might want to lay low. david petraeus still recommends he be careful around open windows. the general is here. first, fox team coverage in kyiv on how ukraine is capitalizing on the chaos and jennifer griffin in washington on how the pentagon is responding to the chaos. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. glad to have you. let's get to it with greg first in ukraine. greg? >> hi, neil. first, a reminder that russia is still very much in this war. the eastern ukrainian town slammed by a russian missile. big damage done. this as putin put a spin on it. he called the wagner mercenary group blackmail, doomed to failure. in belarus, president lukashenko who helped strike a deal in dark terms. if he said if russian collapses, we will perish under its debris. and now prigozhin is in

first, russia in its current form was saved by the president of belarus , lukashenko, because he actedor. first second well in general, yes, because negotiations at least he negotiated to stitch the crisis. yes, good good. he made a significant contribution to resolving the crisis. and by the way, this hmm shows that a single state exists. in fact, it is not quite, the one that developed in the 17th century, a union state. yes, not quite according to those patterns , which is used, but social structures. they are changing and the society of the near future may be organized in a completely different way to which we are accustomed. this is probably why i advise the state with an article 6 degree of trust between leaders. yes, yes, that's why the union state really exists. and then we saw a rather sharp and deep one. even if there is a sudden crisis within the country, but at the same time i draw your attention to the fact that the most important task is to preserve the front lines. it was resolved by an internal rebellion by an internal rebellion. the fact that for the entire russian soc

they can say the same thing, and i said that russia was lucky with president putin, and belarus with president lukashenko don’t have e in russia in belarus today. oligarchic regimes, unlike ukraine in ukraine, the nationalist movement receives funding, not so much from the west, but from their oligarchs, who raised these guys, fed them, took them to the streets, literally paid them for classes in the gyms , where they strengthened their physical fitness and built up muscles in the literal and figurative sense in order to use them at the right time, and their colleagues quite rightly said that these there were also phenomena in russia that we openly talk about our problems to make a secret out of this. i remember very well moscow in the mid-zero years, where it was very risky for people to walk with their hair color, even in the center at night occupation, because the skinhroids were marching, because the nearfootball movement was extremely radical. er, well, pay tribute to president putin to the russian security forces. they did not allow something more to grow out of this, although even in the oligarchi
