kolya met with gerasimov and gerasimov said, but he surprised the old one surprised everyone worked togetherrything is simple. yes, he was wonderful and did compliments to kolya, you know, he will hear a compliment to the actor from such an educator of actors and from such an actor's director as sergei polinovich gerasimov, this is a very great honor. and in 1970, korsh turned 70 in leningrad, a big episode of the film the collapse of the empire in some kind of palace was filmed. huge extras. the february revolution there are some kind of rallies, kolya also plays a bolshevik there. vaulina and i waited. i knew it was impossible to wait. something you don't need now. katya is the last day of filming and on this day the kursh turns 70 years old with the operator of this film igor remeshevsky. the camera shoots a big camera and filming the last episode. it was the last episode of the film and the last episode of the last film in the biography of the korsh of the empire, there was still a film, and he did not turn off the camera and continued to shoot, and now the korsh from all sides rushed, t

it's probably gerasimov and shoigu's heads, on a stick. you know, and we don't know yet whether is actually an organized russian military attack on his own wagner forces. you know, prigozhin has been the tip of the spear for vladimir putin beyond ukraine, throughout other continents in african elsewhere. so, he's been prosecuting russian foreign policy in syria and elsewhere. and doing it in the most brutal possible fashion. we're talking about two very brutal characters here. it's hard to know who you would root for all of this. >> yeah, andrea mitchell for us, as always, my friend, thank you. of course, you can always watch andrea mitchell reports every monday through friday, noon eastern. right here on msnbc. still ahead, everybody, a live report from ukraine, on how officials are responding to the russian infighting that we have seen today. plus, how the u.s. and other allies could assist ukrainian troops, and what could be a crucial moment in that war. i'm gonna speak to alexander mid men, former security -- with the u.s. security cou

gerasimov is the head of the armed forces.rst and also brutality, for example this was his reaction when in november, a wagner defector was allegedly killed with a sledgehammer. yevgeny prigozhin said a dog meets a dog's death. he did not condemn it. he then began to use the image of a sledgehammer as a trophy image. and prigozhin's lawlessness is nothing new. in 1981 he was sent to prison for robbery and theft. when released in 1990, he became a hot dog salesman in saint petersburg, but by 1997, he was running a top restaurant and began winning lucrative catering contracts. these brought connections to the very top. prigozhin catered for state visits and personally served world leaders including us president george w bush in 2006, or here's putin being shown round prigozhin's school lunch factory in 2010, or being served by prigozhin a year later. and in time, yevgeny prigozhin's role would become about far more than food. he had his shift here from hot dog seller, to restaurateur, to caterer to the army, massive contract, an

when he met his second godfather, sergei gerasimov, he asked, that's it, kolya is filming somewhere, well , he said, who is filming there? and when eremenko began to list all these artists who are filming there, gerasimov says, kolya says, gerasim says exclamation. he says that he is an old man gone crazy and gathered artists in such different schools. they don't work, they work, they work, and it was a great ensemble cast. a film panorama was being broadcast, i was asked to film the plot. here's how the movie moscow-genes is filmed there, now this film happened to pick up the actors , spent the preparatory period , vladimir vladimirovich began filming. the director's chair was occupied by pavel armand, the second director. well, the author of the famous song clouds rose over the city, the air smells like a thunderstorm, too, fell ill. he sat in the director's chair, the scriptwriter is an experienced cinematographer, but the screenwriter alexei vladimirovich speshnev is heard after shooting panorama call. volodya do you remember that the great director pudovkin was filmed by the gre

gerasimov was not visible anywhere in this.refore, the russian general staff continues to play an active role in planning and strategy, but i think that this interlude in a kind of comedy, it's a bit of theater to watch channel one, it's very interesting to listen to what's being said on tv because everyone blames each other, i wouldn't say that it 's on the verge of a civil war in russia, but it's very interesting, so we continue to watch the video with representatives of the ministry of defense allegedly captured by the lieutenant colonel russia did not comment. but this is only one of the internal scandals of the last part of the day. we used to accuse the personnel of the russian military that they allegedly blocked the roads on the order of the ministry of defense the retreat of his fighters from bakhmut, an expert at the center for the analysis of european politics in washington, ben dubow, says that all these controversies are shaking russia's capabilities on the front lines. gerasimov's challenge to olga and other milit

but about gerasimov, we remember the assessments of the industrious gerasimov, he says twice that hedious person, and then, in principle, i do not i include things where the russian military or military-political leadership can make some such decisions, which will be extremely dangerous, and here i am saying in the context of preparing for our next fate of the zaporizhia nuclear plant, we are talking about the fact that the enemy is receiving troops there can provide mining there and other dangerous measures and thus put pressure on the west as a traditional element of such nuclear blackmail . does this mean that as part of the preparation of our offensive actions, we should take into account the risks and importance of the e-e factor of the zaporizhia npp and whether our western partners are taken into account. and in general , your understanding of this object in the course of our offensive operations . well, of course, this is extraordinary . safety of the zaporizhia npp and both sides and russia the occupier and ukraine and the country to which this station belongs, but this stat

but about gerasimov. we remember the assessments of the hard-working gerasimov.e says twice that he is a cunning and treacherous person, and then, in principle, i do not include things where the russian military or military-political leadership can decide something such decisions will be extremely dangerous, and here i am speaking in the context of preparing for our next fate of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, we are talking about the fact that the enemy is receiving troops there, and can provide mining and other dangerous measures there, and thereby put pressure on the west as a traditional element of such nuclear blackmail. does this mean that as part of the preparation of our offensive actions, we must take into account the risks and importance of the zaporizhia npp factor and whether our western partners are taken into account. and in general , your understanding of this object in the course of our offensive operations. extremely a-a let's say so er acute problem if we remember that literally two days ago the mother presented her plan for er ensuring th

let them give me shoigu and gerasimov and i need to meet with putin weapons. give you olga or gerasimov anyone. especially in this situation. but you you know putin as much as i do. secondly, it’s not that he won’t talk to you on the phone because of this situation , he is silent, but we want justice, they want to strangle us. we will go to moscow, i say halfway, they will crush you like a bug, despite the fact that putin spoke to me about this for a long time, the troops are distracted on the corresponding front. think i'm talking about it. no. here is such euphoria for a long time, i convinced him. and in the end he said, you know, you can do whatever you want, but don't be offended by me. brigade prepared for transfer to moscow and as you read in 41 books, well, an educated smart person, we will defend moscow because this situation is not only in russia, it is not only, because this is our fatherland, but, god forbid, this is turmoil . went all over russia and the prerequisites for this were colossal next were we ask ourselves a question. why is everything

of the people of baku let's start with european solidarity then please artur volodymyrovych gerasimov the amendments for confirmation from the 22nd to the 25th as far as i understand two minutes please colleagues prepare to vote on the amendment for confirmation please artur volodymyrovych 22 amendment dear colleagues, i ask the ambassador to be very careful in this law, there are two components, the first relates to the payment of 30,000 to the military, the second relates to wounded and captured conscripts , about missing instructors and order this second part of this calculation is the 192nd amendment, we do not touch it, this is a sacred story that was well worked out by the working group, but according to the first part, the law is now written in such a way that every third military man will not receive 30,000 . you should hear that every third man is more than three hundred thousand military personnel will not receive it, so if someone says that there is no money in the next draft law, we will immediately show you uah 90 billion, which simply should not be used for certain corru

where he outlined his biography, which exactly lay down on the biography of the movie hero and gerasimovook, and nikolai for this main role in the film, people are animals, but our meeting was before this film. wolf these hare are also animals. and then all at once the whole company. well, which one is the most dangerous? yes , i think it's a rabbit. on the steering wheel of the teacher todorik, this is the role i would say, it was somewhat schematic discharged. uh, yakub kolas but kolya, of his individuality, revealed into the network those potential character traits and situations that were outlined in this classic in general work of belarusian literature , the teacher, todorik, he, as it were, started along with the rest of the characters, teachers , university graduates, but it gradually descends in this life. he crashes. he even comes to the point of betrayal once upon a time when i was asked why negative characters are better remembered than positive ones. here is my fellow composer. serezha map said an interesting thing. he says, you know, he says, the fact is that minor in music

colonel who do you think is in charge now war from the russian side of the cage, gerasimov, prigozhinoshev, or putin personally. so we understand quite strange things , in particular, certain public marches of the criminal prigozhin , which are formally headed by the criminal group wagner, we see how seriously he is going against shoigu and gerasimov, we understand that if nothing is wrong with him it does not happen to mean that it is being covered by the federal security service of the russian federation, which is under the control or under the serious influence of the same bit by bit, this is a very primitive scheme , but we understand if something like this happens to mean this should either ensure the potential transit of power in the event of certain major or minor disturbances , or they are now starting to dismantle the available levers of influence on the political situation, which is an interesting question with putin alive, i think the only person who knows what is going on in prigozhin's head is prigozhin himself but it seems to me that prigozhin works for putin as before a

and i think gerasimov, we must also think, is weakened now. forces when the ukrainian counteroffensive is undoubtedly building up. and we could well see the main breakthrough or break in and breakthrough attempts by the manoeuvre brigades, the ones well trained and well equipped with western equipment. that's what we waiting for and i think we will start to see that quite soon now. what is the impact of these fighters, these wagner fighters being potentially absorbed into the general russian army because prigozhin, if he does end up in belarus is to one side. but you have tens of thousands of people who supported him and who are allied to him, now being ingratiated amongst quite often disaffected conscripts. will that have some negative impact on the fighting force that the rationale and the resolve of those fighting on behalf of russia? but i think you touched on a very important point. i think the bulk of the russian soldiers facing the ukrainians were themselves conscripted last year, probably against their better judgment and their better

and i think gerasimov, we must also think, is weakened.me for the russian armed forces, when the ukrainian counteroffensive is undoubtedly building up. and we could well see the main breakthrough or break in and breakthrough attempts by their maneuver brigades — the ones well trained and well equipped with western equipment. that's what we're waiting for and i think we will start to see that quite soon now. live now to our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, who's been following events from warsaw. what actions will he undertake to show strength? i want to pick up on some comments you shared that vladimir putin does not like betrayal and does not like disloyalty and therefore, the situation where we are hearing that there are going to be no charges against yevgeny prigozhin where the wagnerfighters. what against yevgeny prigozhin where the wagner fighters. what you against yevgeny prigozhin where the wagnerfighters. what you make against yevgeny prigozhin where the wagner fighters. what you make of that? do you think really is g

putin but to have a crack at the defence minister sergei shoigu and the defence minister valery gerasimovshoigu over the ammunition his troops nodded so his venom has been most accurately pointed at those military leaders so yesterday when he started to move towards moscow, undoubtedly it rattled vladimir putin. when you saw him on television he looked very worried when he was talking in terms of an armed mutiny but if you played that through, what will yevgeny prigozhin do? was he going to go all the way to moscow and hope no one would oppose him and watch all the way to the kremlin and top up your no one would oppose him? turning november is probably the only thing he could do, he still has a lot of pressure on the russian defence leaders, sergei shoigu seems to have disappeared and valery gerasimov must also think he is weakened. this is a bad time for russian forces, the ukrainian counteroffensive building and we could see the main breakthrough attempts by the minerva brigades, the ones well trained and equipped with western equipment. that is what we are waiting for and i think we wi

l sergei gerasimov removing his starring role in the film people and beasts with the light hand of thefamous director, the actor starred in many films, his roles in the films eternal call of liberation became iconic. petrovka 38 moscow gena for more than 30 years, nikolai nikolaevich eremenko gave the stage of the yanka kupala theater by playing older ones. last week , the day of electric transport was celebrated in minsk at the exhibition . taxi and car sharing services were presented every year . more and more people are choosing electric vehicles. a for those who decide to protect nature in this way, there are special benefits and charging stations are available throughout the republic, now there are about 700 of them, so belarus occupies a leading position in the cis area. and now to other important topics of the week in the heading of your choice.

>> to his point, gerasimov wrote the entire russian military doctrine. at story we're following, the remaining debris from the imploded tourist submarine brought back to shore by recovery teams. these pictures at the canadian coast guard pier. workers unloaded some pieces of metal panels, some of them quite large, some covered under tarps. all part of that recovery mission. cnn's paula newton has been in ottawa covering this story. and paula, it's interesting. the pictures that we've seen so far, for instance, this one here, that seems to be from the outer shell. what's not clear, do they have pictures, broken pieces of the pressure chamber itself. what do you know about exactly what they've been able to bring up from the ocean floor and then where this goes from here? >> the best indication, jim, are the pictures that you see there. and i'm sure there will be some disquienet those family and friends that lost the five passengers there on the titan. but when you look at those pieces, jim, those are much larger than the indication we were given at first f

by the way, gerasimov is not the first guy to hold this job.hey've been cycling through lots of generals. >> and shifted back over atop everything. it's a fascinating dynamic. a lot of different players. steve hall, thanks for helping us understand. poppy. >>> we have been having, also, fascinating time listening to steve on what he's been saying, we're going to talk a lot more about that, what this all means, especially for vladimir putin. let's bring in ian bremmer, the president of the -- how three threats in our response will change the world. and with us david sanger, and cnn senior political commentator, former republican congressman adam kinzinger. thank you for being with us. how important you think it is that nato was so in lockstep in response to this. >> well, given the fact they had no idea what was going to transpire as all of these rebel troops were heading towards moscow they did not want to create any provocation. and what we saw was nato in absolute lockstep. low level officials were in touch with russia letting them know there

there wasn't the readiness in russia to support him to overthrow shoigu and gerasimov, his deputy to overthrow putin. perhaps overreacted. he's seen as someone who can get emotional. if his troops were attacked and he did overreact and he extended himself, he would realize his best way to back out is overreaction. although the goal was to find a deal that would allow him to have moo out of russia, at least lick his wounds and make his next move. so much we don't know. we don't know the huge push to get rid of shoigu. we don't know where that stands. we don't know where shoigu is and we don't know if putin will keep him on as minister of defense. >> the report is that he's been offered to go to belarus and he'll be safe there. we don't know where prigozhin is. we've seen that video of him driving away from the video camera in rostov of don. we don't know if he left or even the status of wagner fighters. we don't know if they've fully withdrawn. is that right? >> he's an extremely untrust worthy caring. it is amazing that anyone thinks they can make a deal with him that will stick. per

is it like for gerasimov , the finale was unconvincing, too rounded, but he really liked it.is this primitivist painting. it turned out that he himself loves such painting, very much, despite the fact that his films were made very social with realistic very correct very boring, according to some, and someone said that the audience in the film is the one who watches. where they are from the cream, the mass somehow does not react very violently to them somehow, they don’t like all this. it feels like our hero is an eye that cries out in the desert. well, and your finale, why do you have a hero dying said anatoly smut? the green one is killing him, but this is a work of art, so it means something, it means, in principle, this is how they treat artists such generalizations that, here and there, andrey tarkovsky did not give rest from all sorts of people who looked there because they really treat artists and badly in very different ways. sometimes in a very unpleasant way, but it was impossible to say so frankly then, so i convinced all the metals that, well, it's just such an acc

nikolai eremenko's talent in cinematography was discovered by sergei gerasimov, who starred him in theple and beasts with the light hand of a well-known director. the actor starred in many films, his roles in films became iconic eternal call, release. petrovka 38 moscow gene for more than 30 years, nikolai nikolaevich eremenko gave the stage of the theater named after yanka kupala, playing more steels. for a week in minsk, the day of electric transport was celebrated at the exhibition . taxi and car sharing services were presented. every year , the number of visitors is growing, users of eco-transport, also belarusians. more and more people are choosing electric vehicles. and for those who have decided to protect nature in this way, there are special benefits and charging stations are available throughout the republic now there are about 700 of them, so the indicators belarus occupies a leading position in the cis space and now to other important topics of the week in the heading of your choice. new developments and lucrative contracts a record number of people visited the belagro exhi

yevgeny prigozhin to change leadership of the military, to change the defense minister, as well as gerasimov who was overseeing the war. no one can argue that they've done a good job in doing this. but, as you know, this is a president who values dedication and loyalty above all else. and this is a president who we saw tonight doubling down thus far, so far, and his support for his military leaders. >> and, general mark hertling, putin referenced tonight fallen pilots. we have images of a crash site reportedly a russian military plane that was taken down by wagner forces over the weekend. so yevgeny prigozhin does appear to have killed russian troops. general, do you see a world in which putin simply lets prigozhin go live in exile in belarus? >> i don't, alex. and what we're talking about. we have the film of the one aircraft. open source intelligence says there were somewhere between six and eight with multiple pilots being killed. that's an air attack by mr. prigozhin's wagner group against the russian air force because they had air defense equipment in that march with them. but, in addit

it sounds like we haven't heard anything from shoigu or gerasimov the military leaders, does anybody think that they have essentially been taken out of the picture. christopher? >> my strong feeling would be that shoigu is finished, whether gerasimov survives is another matter. putin doesn't want to be seen as weak by getting rid of them in the aftermath of this debacle but it may take a few weeks to play out but in my guess shoigu won't be defense minister for that long. >> i'm asking about this because in the and the big thing here, philippe is what will it mean for the war in ukraine. does this give ukrainians a little bit more of an edge or is it something that doesn't make a difference, or someone was suggesting earlier that actually it means that somebody competent and dangerous is in belarus and now and they will add strength to putin's hand. >> the answer is yes to all of those, in reality from a tactical perspective is it affecting the ukrainian counter offensive in the russian defense on the ground, not really. the russian soldiers on the ground are too interested in protec

is developing a counter-offensive in the eastern and southern directions putin and his allies and gerasimov are trying to recover from bagnerivshchyna after the armed rebellion in russia prigozhin disappeared somewhere in the belarusian forests and just a few hours ago an audio recording appeared where the leader of a private military company, wagner, tries to explain what happened on june 24, says that it was just a march of justice, there were no hints of a change of power, and even more so a change putin's oleksii danilov says that russia is already preparing negotiators for peace talks with ukraine, and among these negotiators is the secretary of the national security and defense council. there is the surname of lukashenko , the self-proclaimed president of belarus. ukraine so, at the beginning of the great war in ukraine, 225,580 russians have already died in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine have destroyed 950 people since the beginning of the great war , the russians have already lost 4,031 and 7,820 in ukraine armored combat vehicles 4,055 artillery systems 624 rocket

colonel who do you think is now leading the war from the russian side shoigu gerasimov prigozhin is itroshev or putin personally? this is how we understand quite strange things, in particular those or other public marches of the criminal prigozhyn, to which wagner's criminal group is formally headed, we see how seriously he goes against shoigu and gerasimo, and we understand that if nothing happens to him, it means that he is being covered by the federal security service of the russian federation , which is under the control or under the serious influence of the same patrol. authorities in case of certain major or minor perturbations, or are they now starting to dismantle the available levers of influence on the political situation that with putin alive is an interesting question , i think the only person who knows that what is happening in prigozhin's head is prigozhin himself but it seems to me that prigozhin is now working for putin as before and is trying to distance himself from putin, the failure of shoigu and gerasimov, that is, he spoke in such a way to push them away from puti

prigozhin's determination to change it this was in may sergei shoigu russian defense minister valery gerasimov chief of the general staff and prigozhin repeatedly criticized both of them for problems on the battlefield on saturday he called on the russians to join before the conflict against the ministry of defense, this did not happen. and when the kremlin asked about shoigu's proposal, his spokesman answered that i do not know about any changes in this regard, which could mean a lot that he remains in office he gets wagner's powers he gets more control but as he and putin know the problems of the russian military are not going away and our fourth corner of the situation is the president himself on saturday he appeared on national television accusing prigozhin of treason but the suppression of such a rebellion mercenaries were hardly included in putin's plans , as well as moscow's preparation in case of an attack by wagner. and the united states is watching all this. more cracks have appeared in the facade , it is too early to say when and how it will all end, but there are definitely many qu

and his chinese counterpart lio genli, the meeting was held via video link gerasimov noted that theperation between moscow and beijing meets the long-term goals of development and security of our states. efforts of russia and the people's republic of china in the international arena has a stabilizing effect on the situation in the world examples can serve joint military exercises, both on a bilateral basis and within the framework of the shanghai cooperation organization and the very plus, which contribute to the deepening of positive contacts in the defense sphere. an urgent message is now coming from the kherson region in the emergency services reported that the ukrainian militants. launched a rocket attack on the children's camp. in the area of ​​​​the arabat spit, an air defense unit shot down one missile; two missiles fell in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe base (details). tokyo's decision to supply military equipment to the kiev regime leads to an escalation conflict, and also drives relations with moscow into a dead end and cannot remain without consequences, such a statement w

they saw that a - and there has been a conflict for several months between prigozhannym and shaygov gerasimov, this happened publicly on the part of prigozhin, and the answer was not intercepted because of intelligence methods , the response of pakublay gerasimov was that they didn’t like it all that much, and of course we watched how long it lasted for 24 hours maybe a little more, we're watching. well, all this development of events, but the official reaction of america, eh, and in general, nato and all allies were very restrained . it's not that one is much better than the other, but they didn't want to make any statements in order not to help putin with his er, well, propaganda that it's all nato's handiwork and that he's at war with nato and the west is interfering, america is mixing that is in this case it was somehow internal the conflict within russia between prigoshennym and putin. in some way, they did not want it to change somehow, and the second thing is that we started this nuclear weapon. arsenal, therefore, we cannot do anything personally, that is, it is an internal problem .

and that is what gerasimov's conflict is. prigozhin. problem with the ministry of defense. the authorities, of course, now they will try, and it is already starting on russian television . they are trying to tell that it is all one prigozhin, er, that it is only him , exclusively. it began on sunday , when kiselyov promised to prepare a story about pvk wagner and the slaves who reigned in dude wagner . ntfao, or this is an interview of a former wagnerian on the air of another german rtr tv channel. marat godulin treated the windows like slaves, we had to kneel before our boss, and he always asks for forgiveness for the smallest misdeeds, well, you know that. and besides , he also told they pulled out some analyst somewhere who worked for the prigozhin corporation in st. petersburg and he said that they had been beaten there, what is it in general, well, this is the general story in prigozhin's structures, but here i have such a i wonder who didn't know about this, who forgot that there was a wagnerian in the kvas family who was killed w

cooperation, this was stated by the chief of the general staff of the general of the army valery gerasimovtiations with his chinese counterpart , gerasimov called joint operational and combat training of the armies of the two countries one of the main areas of cooperation. the head of the general staff also congratulated the chinese colleague on appointment and invited to visit russia coordinating the efforts of russia and the people's republic of china in the international arena has a stabilizing effect on the situation in the world examples can serve as joint military exercises, both on a bilateral basis and within the framework of the shanghai cooperation organization and the very plus, which contribute to deepening positive contacts in the defense sphere. at the amur shipbuilding plant , a new combat corvette was solemnly laid down, the ships of this series are excellent. showed themselves in the service of their armament. the most modern missile systems of onyx and zircon caliber and that's not counting artillery mounts and amusing guns. ksenia kolchina saw the birth of a new warship

networks such as kadyrov when did this fault line begin at the end of december between shoigu and gerasimovhen did these most intense battles for bakhmut begin and just the first swallows began that they have a hmm hmm conflict ah kadyrov distanced himself from the beauties, if you remember , they were constantly recording videos together, they were there in three days and so on, he left and if he was on the same level as the beautiful beauty, he was in the top 5 of politicians, the top 5 is here. with the fact that he was always in second place besides putin , the second was volodymyr zelenskyi, and they constantly talked about him. well, of course, i would be in the top. and both kadyrov and handsome kadyrov went to the bottom specifically, that is, he left suspended and he is not in the top 5 already these whole months , at least it looked like he said so, he got sick at the right time and you see , when it was necessary to settle down a little , they used kadyrov, that is, he showed that i am a team player here player they were friends. i remember how they were, uh, allies among themsel

whom i bought, but to the previous second owner, with whom i have nothing at all to do now giro gerasimovthe car, who suffered in tricky scheme, despite the fact that he legally bought the great wall already for 395,000, he put it on the mark for registration without any problems. now he must part with the money from the blue transport, and that's all, because the heiress appeared, the daughter of the deceased owner from first marriage. exportiza proved that the signature on the sale and purchase agreement dated august 20, 2020 was not made by pavel nikolaevich lipin. the face of the transaction were declared invalid. who exactly sold the car on behalf of pavel riddles, the police refused to open a criminal case. although the third buyer could not help but understand that it was not the owner of the car in front of him. unless he didn’t look at the passport at all, he couldn’t understand that the signatures are fake. he could not help but understand that there was no will of the seller. as a result, the transaction was made with vice. as the lawyers say , there is certainly fraud here, be

works for putin as before and is trying to distance himself from putin, the failure of shoigu and gerasimovat he spoke in such a way to push them away from putin from the point of view of who is the main one. communicates with them, but now prigozhin exposes them as losers, setting them up for possible failure and gives putin additional political arguments and political space for action. it seems to me that this is exactly how everything is happening, although i could be wrong, because all this it's quite strange, but i'm absolutely sure that prigozhin really wants to be the minister of defense and replace shoigu, it's clear from his words, the terms he uses, his main message is that he can win the war for the whole of russia, not only with wagner's group, but with the whole team, so i think that there is still a lot of interesting stuff to come. and for prigozhin fans - this is a real test of analytics, dear mr. colonel, large pipeline storage facilities in the border regions on the territory of the russian federation, well, at least they were recorded. so i have no way check to what exten

get rid of gennadi gerasimov get rid of gen shoigu but did not work he lost a gamble but made a pointe is shown putin to be weak and to have really plowed through that command and control how did they not see them coming? it's a very crucial city sits on the two main roads into the land bridge to crimea. jon: and rush to get positions of power this is because he explains in expertise but because you are loyal to vladimir putin. you could say that about yevgeny prigozhin the head of the army there. he is not necessarily a military tactician is he? his nickname is putin's chef because of the catering contracts he won for the russian government. >> only rose to prominence fighting in ukraine in 2014. he has been very good at running military operations both in ukraine and places throughout africa. maybe not a great strategist but he really cares about his tr troops. as lost 20000 of them in ukraine. he is a loose cannon's been shooting off his mouth about how the wars being run i think this was prigozhin's bid for power. and this time it failed. jon: what happens to prigozhin? >> let's w

gerasimov particularly important.who laid out the nuclear strategy for employment of nuclear weapons by russia in 2020 and earlier than that, and of course one of the potential uses of a preemptive nuclear weapon is if the regime appears threatened. we've never seen that until this weekend. >> shoigu was more likely to be a fall guy because he doesn't have the military pedigree that gerasimov has. in terms of answering your question of why did putin let prigozhin mouth off like this day after day after day, i think putin is self-aware enough to understand he's only getting the best news from his hierarchy, and prigozhin was a useful tool for all this time to nag his commanders. prigozhin, he might have thought, was giving him the real truth of what was happening on the battlefield. >> he praised prigozhin a month ago for bakhmut. >> but finally the bosses of the military won putin over and said he's too much of a wild card, which is why they said, okay, wagner has to be brought under our control, yes, everyone in wagn

where he outlined his biography, which exactly lay down on the biography of the movie hero and gerasimovor this main role in the film, people are animals, but our meeting was before this film. the bait is still the beast in man's a wolf sits alone. also animals. and then all at once the whole company. he was approved. for the role of a teacher todorik, this role, i would say , was written out somewhat schematically by yakub kolas, but kolya revealed all those potential character traits and situations that were outlined in this classic. in general, a work of belarusian literature, a teacher, a todorik, he, as it were , started along with the rest of the heroes , teachers, graduates of the university, but he gradually descends in this life. he succeeds. he even comes to the point of betrayal once upon a time when i was asked why negative characters are better remembered than positive ones. here is my fellow composer. serezha map said an interesting thing. he says, you know, he says, the fact is that minor in music is richer than major well, i don’t know, it’s a musician, you know better, m

minister of defense of the russian federation, shoigu, and the chief of the general staff, valery gerasimov, because of the loss control of dew by the army over some population centers, calling on them to come to the front and die as heroes puck gerasimov, i urge you to come to the front, raise the army with specialists, what is ahead, let's do it if you can. and if you don't watch, you will die as heroes. already prigozhin will have as many such guests as possible, please let the messengers go in order to stay, so to speak, on the hryvnia information wave, he will try to constantly say that the young people are under some pressure, that there are different attackers against them, that they are late, they are building this line, and he will stick to it to a tree from the rearrangement of tanks, the amount does not change, is it necessary to study the enemy and understand what is happening there , unequivocally yes, but for us, what about the cadres what are the regular troops? what a beauty. in general, the moscow empire is not good for torture. whatever their faces are, they are against us

staff volodymyr oleksiyev and otse him oleksiyev after he says that we want shoigu here, and uh, gerasimovt to the deputies , take it to the fig, we need them here, well, there’s also a lot of things he talks about. they bombed mostly, there are also some trucks and buses eh, that is, clearly without getting eh and never especially like that. there were no problems with these experiences. only that bombing eh on one thing there is storming a school with children eh or to storm somewhere where there are peaceful people , and it is another matter to try to storm a column in which there are air defense vehicles that simply shoot down everyone who flies there and is shot back, but it turned out when it happens. so, it is all very problematic and here it is already more difficult for the russian army which again does not interfere at all today, putin should be told how he will reward them there, because all these heroic people who are somewhere, er, as if some uh, er, came to the defense. well, we saw how two deputies came to the defense, one deputy head of the ministry of defense, the other de

colonel who do you think is currently leading the war on the russian side shoigu gerasimov prigozhintroshev or putin personally? yes, we understand quite strange things, in particular those or other public marches of the criminal prigozhin, on which wagner's criminal group is formally headed we see how seriously he is going against shoigu and we understand that if nothing happens to him, it means that he is being covered by the federal security service of the russian federation, which is under the control or under the serious influence of that after all, this is a very primitive scheme, but we understand that if something like this happens, then it should either ensure a potential transit of power in the event of certain major or minor disturbances, or now they are already starting to dismantle the existing levers of influence on the political situation, which is an interesting question, i think, now that putin is alive the only person who knows what goes on in prigozhin's head is prigozhin himself. but it seems to me that prigozhin is now working for putin as before and trying to di

presumably that includes gennadi gerasimov himself. he said that.ally honor that? and just an hour or two ago you remember and i was talking about how there's only one thing on vladimir putin's mind right now. that is how quickly he can kill gennadi gerasimov and do it cleanly. visa promised the country's going to punish the person behind this, i do not really understand how he can allow basically settlement with brushes perceived as his lackey president alexander lukashenko to cut this deal and somehow frees the guy he's a kill from any kind of responsibility. it does not add up. but again a lot of things that happen at russia over the past several months do not add up. i guess it's possible. as it ran just late at the high-stakes infighting have been there the very top of russia i was president zaleski react reacting? is he made directives to the people there in ukraine or may be sort of root issue of new orders to his troops? >> yes just in the last half hour or so he delivered his nightly message to the people of ukraine. he talked about vladimi

also be interesting to see when and if we hear or see the defense minister, sergei shoigu or valery gerasimov at some point, because the kremlin said last night, that their future was not discussed as part of this deal. but seeing as apparently they were the targets of prigozhin's wrath, a, it will be good to see them. and be, you do wonder if vladimir putin could not just listen to prigozhin. get everyone in one room together. he is the commander in chief. he could negotiate some kind of arbitration between all of these factions, but that is not the way that he plays his people or his politicians, or his military forces. so we have the situation that we do. it is an extraordinary situation. i think most people in russia, as we are in the west are wondering what on earth happened. it also seems suspicious. think about what the outcomes actually are now. of course we do not know what kind of power prigozhin will have when he goes to belarus, whether putin will let him have any at all. but if he does, then you have this very powerful, very violent man with a lot of troops at his disposal in bel

ours >> last thing for, you matt, and it's about specifically shoigu and gerasimov. those were the names that were called out and i'm wondering, initially, upon the invasion of russia by the wagner mercenary group, did we hear anything about what their future is in this negotiation? >> it's a great question, their names have been absent from the discourse. over the past 24, hours other than prigozhin's audio messages. there's been no indication from the kremlin that they even were considering beating these demands, i think the way this was quickly condemned has an active insurrection, it shows that it was never gonna work, everything we know about vladimir putin suggests that this was never gonna. work >> with defense minister of russia, with -- chief of arms forces. thank you, we're gonna continue following the latest developments out of russia throughout the hour ahead, coming up in just 60 seconds, i want to talk with russian born author who has written extensively on the rise of putin about what this revolt could mean for the russian president's future. we'll be

is it for gerasimov, the final was unconvincing, too rounded, but he was very liked.t painting. it turned out that he himself loves such painting, he loves it very much, despite the fact that the sun made his films very realistic, very correct, very boring, according to some, and someone said that the audience in the film are the ones who watch. doing with the cream, the mass somehow does not react very violently to them somehow, they don’t like it all. it feels like our hero is an eye that cries out in the desert. well, your final. why does your hero die , said anatoly the head, here he is killing green, but this is a work of art, it means something, it means, in principle , such generalizations treat artists like that, which, uh, andrey tarkovsky, did not give rest from all sorts of people who looked, why films, because the epoch really treats artists very differently, sometimes in a very unpleasant way , but it was impossible to say so frankly then, so i convinced all the metals that, well, it's just such an accidental tragedy. he is dying. there several times thro

if he does not feel cushion, if privilege and's wrath is only ever directed towards chicago and gerasimov, which he always says it, was but knows he must stay that way in this system. >> that was diana magnay for us in moscow we can get more on where this leaves vladimir putin and the effect on the progress of the war in ukraine. with me in the studio again, christopher steele, former british intelligence officer with mi6 and the former british army intelligence and security officer, philip ingraham, lots of intelligence in this room. gentlemen, you can enlighten us. christopher, to you first, this did not succeed but june the 24th, that might be seen as the date which really put a big, fundamental change in the armor of president putin. what would've come next if they have succeeded, do you think? >> i think this is the fundamental problem with russia, as it exists now, and putin's offensively hollowed out, there are no state architectures which can kind of constrain an order of the political process in russia. russia is very much to come in sort of medieval court, and autumn in court, w

group's leader originally planned to capture russia's defense minister, sergei shoigu, and valery gerasimovthe chief of russia's general staff, during a visit to a southern region that borders ukraine. according to western officials, prigozhin plans were foiled after russia's intelligence agency learned of the plot two days before, forcing prigozhin to improvise and move early with his mutiny plans. russia has relied heavily on wagner mercenaries in its war in ukraine since 2014 when the group supported pro—russian separatist forces in eastern ukraine. but wagner's notoriety stretches well beyond europe and into the middle east and africa where it promotes russian interests through a combination of influence and violence. the wagner group worked in africa for almost a decade, providing security services in the central african republic, mali, sudan and libya. on monday, russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, was quick to clarify that the attempted mutiny wouldn't impact the group's activities on the continent. translation: in the conditions when they were left face - to face with the band

it's all a bunch of lies that gerasimov and shoigu that your leaders have been telling you.telegram. that's what russians read. they can still read that. and then second, they see their commander in chief, president putin, gets up, and makes a fiery speech about how he's gonna try to crush the traders. and then what is he to? he makes a deal with them. how does that make your soldiers feel inside ukraine? is he gonna throw them under the bus when it's convenient for him? so, i think that is what we need to look at. i suspect that morale is not very high right now. and that creates an opportunity for the ukrainians where, of course, their morale is high. >> is there anything that the u.s. and the west and nato should be doing, as this all plays out? >> yes. on the one hand, saying nothing, just like the president said, just like secretary blinken said, to make it crystal clear the facts, and it is the, fact that we had nothing to do with this stuff. the idea that prigozhin would be a puppet of the united states, that is absurd. but quietly, i think this creates a new opportun
