and much of what we know comes from the kremlin. prigozhin acknowledges that he is pulling his men back from the highway towards moscow. we've received very little information on where he is going -- sorry, i have to turn the mic on. on where he is and how quickly he will get to belarus. there is a few questions of course that we need to ask. first of all, part of the deal is that the wagner mercenaries would sign military contracts with the russian ministry of defense. essentially be absorbed into the russian army. what does that look like, could that effectively happen, are these men able to switch loyalties from prigozhin to the organized russian military. does prigozhin from belarus play any role at all, whether that is over the wagner mercenaries or over the continuing conflict in ukraine. regardless of the outcome for prigozhin who is now of course under the protection of alexander lukashenko who according to the kremlin has been given the guarantees from president putin himself for his safety who will leave now in exile, the

prigozhin in moscow on the second day after that impression as if nothing had happened today the kremlin released putin's address to the participants of the youth industrial forum engineers of the future on the video putin is sitting at the table behind the flag and in his speech to the young engineers no mentions of the facility over the weekend as if nothing had happened, there were no tanks in rostovin, in addition, a video appeared with the russian minister of defense, who is allegedly visiting the command post of the russian military in the occupied territory of ukraine , it is not known when this video was recorded, but the russian the ministry of defense distributed it just today. prigozhin, i will remind you, criticized the goyim and demanded his removal from office, and the russian prime minister between his lips calls on russians to unite around putin, especially when there is a struggle against the measure of the importance of unity is told by russian television covering the actions among the russian newspapers, the first column of the moscow komsomol was notable in the newspa

, and this is the most important thing for the kremlin now, well, i agree with you here.we remember the assessments of the industrious gerasimov, he says twice that he is a cunning and insidious 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 s

this is what the kremlin says.orts that at least two flights, flights left moscow, flights that are normally reserved for high-level kremlin officials. vladimir putin himself, chiefly, and that they left and flew to st. petersburg when it was reported that this had happened. it looked as though those flights suddenly disappeared from the map. but again, all of that is unconfirmed,. if you are to believe the kremlin's line, vladimir putin remained in the kremlin, in his office, working throughout the day, trying to staunch this coup. so, it depends on who you believe, alicia. >> an incredibly important caveat. nbc's matt bradley, as always, thank you. we want to bring in arizona democratic congressman, ruben gallego. congressman is a member of the house armed services committee and led the congressional delegation to ukraine in december of 2021. we should also note, congressman gallego is running for senate in arizona. congressman, your thoughts on what this means for putin, what it means for zelenskyy, and what the

the kremlin says it doesn't know where prigozhin is right now.was last seen leaving ross stor-on-don in a vehicle, pausing briefly to shake hands with people, then driving away. and while this showdown may have been defused for now, the threat to putin's regime may be far from over. the wagner leader showed just how easily he could take over a major russian military installation and city and then send columns of troops racing towards moscow. some wagner mercenaries were halfway to the capital when prigozhin abruptly ordered them back. a personal appeal by the president of belarus, a close putin ally, is credited with persuading prigozhin to call off his rebellion. meanwhile, the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, says that the russian president is, quote, very afraid following wagner's chief's insurrection. he also claimed that putin had left moscow, adding the russian president's own actions were to blame for the situation facing him. meanwhile, an adviser to ukrainian president administration says the insurrection almost nullified putin.

, and this is the most important thing for the kremlin now, well, i agree with you here.bout gerasimov, we we remember the evaluations of zulazhny gerasimov, where he says twice that this person is cunning and insidious, and then, in principle, i do not include things where the russian leadership is ready there or military-political can make some such decisions that will be extremely dangerous, and here i am talking about the fate of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant in the context of preparations for our offensive, 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 in as part of the preparation of our offensive actions, we must take into account the risks and importance of the e-e factor of the zaporizhzhia 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. a-a let's put it this way,

remarks by the kremlin spokesman _ source. remarks by the kremlin spokesman who _ source.this was i source. remarks by the kremlinl spokesman who said this was the deal. we have not heard anything from yevgeny prigozhin since yesterday evening. when he said he was stopping his advance towards moscow. and since that time, his social media accounts, the usual channels that he uses to communicate have been silent so it is a really good question what is in the deal for yevgeny prigozhin? it is clear whatever vladimir putin got out of it, the wagner mercenary stood a u—turn and stop the advance towards moscow for yevgeny prigozhin, it seems to be a pretty bad deal because essentially, if what the kremlin says is true, he is being sent into exile in belarus. and as for his mercenary group, the kremlin and the russian defence ministry want the mercenaries to sign official contracts with the military which can be seen as the end of the wagner group and there's a lot of speculation about this being possibly the reason why yevgeny prigozhin led the mutiny, trying to avert the disban

it is known, and again, if this is exactly what happens when, uh, there is an order from the kremlinthe wagnerites leave, and the military enters, and the military is silent, and they brought, for example, he can allow any of his statements about that the same that the geras have any armed forces at all. this means that this confirms the version that prigozhin is in fact and wagner is a project of the kremlin now , that is, him. well, for example, imagine that this is, for example, just a project of the fsb or how do some people think that there is some kind of uh, well, there is such a cool beauty who can afford such things well, i think that he would have existed for a very, very few minutes , that is, the military found a way to destroy him, he would have disappeared not only from the information space in general, uh, from this existence, but completely opposite things are happening, prigozhyn does whatever he wants, and the front is clearly not controlled by the military, the military, where the order to occupy bakhmut, because the wagners are being introduced now and will probab

and then seeing the kremlin do a u-turn.what president putin does to his enemies, to those who are perceived to have any threat against his power. he jails them, he poisons them, he disappears them. but it seems in the case of prigozhin, he's allowed the comfort of exile. >> salma, what are they saying about this turn of events if belarus? >> reporter: this is extremely important. again, there's a very strong opposition in belarus, one that was fiercely cracked down upon, human rights group saying in 2021. i do have a quote i want to read you from the opposition candidate who says she was forced into exile because of that crackdown. if we could pull that up. svetlana teoday we watched the russian military monster devour itself. now it's more important than ever to unite for a free belarus. i call on the international community to support the people of belarus and help us secure our freedom and independence against those who want to enslave us. again, this is the way that critics of president putin, that much of the western w

the jailed kremlin critic in the dock, in prison.re allowed into the penal colony to watch, but only on a video screen. he is facing multiple charges, including extremism, that could keep him walk up for decades. on paper at least, it is a moscow court that is hearing this case. yet they are 150 miles from the russian capital in a penal colony. that suggests they want to limit the publicity that will inevitably come from russia's most high-profile prisoner. but the prison picture show didn't last long. the judge decided the trial should be behind closed doors. the press had to leave. his father's reaction. they have no shame. a protest leader, and anticorruption campaigner, alexi navalny has long clashed with the kremlin. remember this from five years ago. >> he is president putin's most vocal critic. he has now been arrested by police. >> in 2020, in siberia, he was poisoned by a nerve agent and airlifted to germany for lifesaving treatment. he claims it was the kremlin that tried to kill him. the russian authorities denied it. in 2

again, all of this is from the kremlin and unverified by nbc news. new reporting from the washington post reads, quote, while putin seemed to avert his greatest prices crisis in more than 23 years as russia's supreme political leader, grief armed rebellion, presented the starkest evidence yet that his brutal invasion of ukraine could backfire. leading to instability at home and exposing his growing isolation from reality and weakness as a leader. joining us now from kyiv, nbc news correspondent kelly cobiella, nbc news white house correspondent -- and on capitol hill, and pc news correspondent julie adjuster. kelly, let's start with you. how is the kremlin trying to explain what's unfolded over the past 24 hours? >> well alicia, it's interesting. they're not trying to explain, it they're simply saying that this was all stopped to avoid bloodshed. that this was a deal of brokered essentially by neighboring belarus, by the president there, a close ally of president putin alexander lukashenko. and that this deal essentially means that the wagner fighter

he turned to the russian military and law enforcement officers on the cathedral square of the kremlin. what was the most important thing the president said? vladimir putin held a meeting with employees of the ministry of defense in the catherine’s hall of the kremlin in our issue , she told the secret plans for a us attack on iran, former president donald trump faces another term. what are the new did the details come up? in krasnodar, lightning strikes to the head killed a man in omsk grad of enormous size, when bad weather reaches the capital, we will find out in the weather section. on the employee, law enforcement officers actually saved the country from the civil war, so vladimir putin believes. and in this he spoke today on cathedral square, where the security forces gathered. these were both the military and the fsb officers of the russian guard of the ministry of internal affairs of the fso, the president turned to them to hide behind a faceted detail from the scene, as always, the authors will exclusively tell the presenters programs moscow the kremlin putin pavel zarubin the

but this has help, the kremlin exert more influence on the continent. and we've seen several visits of sergei love rough just this year. and going from country to country ahead of the russia africa summit planned in june 26. so they have written june, july 26th, sorry. so they have really worked hand in hand. so far. until now, marianne, what role does wagner's activity in africa then have on the russia ukraine crisis, potentially a slow it's. it's 8, almost finances. it's a very important role, at least for wagner and you know, there's one mind in the central african republic called in the seam of mine, and it has uh, extracted $2700000000.00 worth of mineral. and that that money is used to finance wagner's operation. to expand its reach, and i remember when i met the head of wagner's group in the central african republic in 2018, he said that russia was back in africa and know that the wagner's group was starting its operation on the african continent. and he was alluding to the influence of the soviet union had on the continent topping both on this,

the kremlin thinks that once they give him more power. so the kremlin is certainly concerned.he is as i said one of many. because the minute there is something that might potentially be seen as a threat, or even not as a threat, or even not as a threat, butjust the word, let's mention the word civil society or investigation or some sort of interest in human rights, the kremlin, and though it is notjust the and committed as the whole apparatus he has talked about in the last 22 or 23 is a putin. this apparatus pushes on to delete and devalue. and in fact threaten everybody who is part of that. fact threaten everybody who is part of that-— fact threaten everybody who is part of that. nina khrushcheva, thank you _ part of that. nina khrushcheva, thank you so — part of that. nina khrushcheva, thank you so much _ part of that. nina khrushcheva, thank you so much for- part of that. nina khrushcheva, j thank you so much for speaking from moscow. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. i, ., ., different storie

the kremlin immediately laid mutiny charges against precaution interrupted tv broadcasts. to deny his allegations about the war and ukraine authorities even appealed to wagner. soldiers directly to defy the lead time. is that necessary? yeah, the that's the judge. you. you have given a progression to stop, the enemy is just waiting for the internal situation to west and the country of so it is unacceptable to play into the hands of the enemy in these difficult times for a country. in the wagner groups be a heated the capture of the ukrainian in the city of buck mood last month. a battle field succeeds that in bold and per goshen. to criticize the kremlin, that criticism now growing into a major threat to moscow and its entire military leadership for the latest i'm joined by dw, corresponded jennifer polk who's covering this story from lot for you. since dw was banned by the russian government. and jennifer, we should mentioned as we're having this conversation that blood we put in is right now, addressing the nation precaution claims his troops have entered russian territo

he won't trust the kremlin. are indications that the kremlin are going, reneging on their word he has some kind of amnesty out of this. that's going to be difficult for him. in belarus, easily accessible to the russian military, to russian intelligence. the value that he has with these connections and assets inside africa, that is going to erode, and he will know that. so, it's probably safer for him to get further from moscow he can. he knows that. the kremlin is reneging on its word. so, he knows he can't trust them. he knows that he's been disloyal to putin, and putin hates disloyalty. he knows his days are potentially numbered. >> yeah, nic robertson, great reporting and great context as always. thanks so much. >>> coming up, how the 2024 republican presidential candidates are reacting to all these developments in russia over the weekend. >> take a look at this, a twister ripping through a town outside indianapolis, damaging at least 75 homes. that's ahead, coming up. >> terrible. terrible. oh booking.com, ♪

he and the moscow kremlin museum are preparing a unique project in bishops' chambers of the suzdal kremlinllect 200 relics that have never been exhibited together and it will be possible to examine in detail the golden and southern gates. e of our mother of god of the nativity cathedral, located in the kremlin, a unesco monument of the twelfth century from the monuments, of course , the vladimir icon of the mother of god of vladimir, the work of andrei rublev, will be presented as it is symbolized with itself in the period. uh, just the renaissance of russia and with the reunification of the lands of russia and during the tatar mongol yoke. ah, unique jewelry, uh, which still have scandinavian roots, this is one of the three precious salaries , glycones of our lady of vladimir, it will also become part of the exhibition russian phoenix suzdal land and will leave the kremlin for the first time since the 15th century exhibition and fragile an amazing image of the early 13th century icon that never left the assumption cathedral of the moscow kremlin in this puzzle. you are in his hands. uh, e

in the kremlin compound itself. but, you know, so many questions still about what will come next, what has been unleashed, as a result of this incredible weekend. and what vladimir putin will do, of course, in the immediate afte aftermath. >> i just wonder what people in russia are saying. that's a big question this morning. as putin's power over them waned at all? >> i think it's almost denial that it has. it was shocking for me and for all of us, and of course, many people in russia to see an armed rebellion taking to the streets of the country, rebels ins taki over an entire city, rostov-on-don in the south of the city, and that couldn't but chip away at the veneer of authority that vladimir putin has. and so as i say, this relief that more bloodshed was avoided. but also, anxiety about what comes next after this incredible few days. [ chanting: wagner ] >> for the kremlin, these are some of the most disturbing scenes from a weekend of shocking images. [ gunfire ] >> on the streets of a major russian city, rostov

kremlin have become ordinary dangerous games . the mud of prigozhin is still threatening putin, butntly the most unprofitable rise in prigozhin's popularity, someone must be opposed to the wagnerites and kadyrov's tiktok troops are just right here, they plan to return them to front to create the right picture against the background of the exit of the wagnerites from bachmut meanwhile , experts say that they do not give a penny for prigozhin's life, the current battle for independence is costing ukraine incredible efforts and losses

what does that say to you about how concerned the kremlin is. how unusual is it to hear from them in a video like that wax >> it is very unusual, anytime the kremlin has not this kind of potential instability, you have to remember, there is a really interesting social contract between the russian people, and it goes something like this, the russian people say we will surrender many of our basic rights in order for you guys to provide us with stability. in other words, in order to make sure that the things that are rumored to happen right now, don't happen. so the breaking of that social contract is extremely problematic for the kremlin and for putin specifically because he's the one that make sure there has got to be a lot of concern, a lot of worry in the kremlin tonight that if this is actually developing as a way in the way that it seems to be. >> which is not really what they are telegraphing. russian state media breaking in, for emergency reports earlier. don't listen to the misinformation coming from prigozhin. and that is according to rus

would the kremlin's projection abroad, wagner being a key fighting force for the kremlin in ukraine ando beyond having fighters in africa where the company had contracts signed with countries like central africa. a bit more clarity today but -- with the fate of prigozhin and wagner, but still questions on how this will work. tonight, that meeting between putin and the head of the security services, the fsb, the foreign intelligence service, with putin choosing to publicly thank the security heads for the role in the work it did over the weekend, as opposed to changing things around and looking for a scapegoat. a message of, let's unite, not find people to blame. let's reflect on what has happened and move forward. that is a message from the kremlin late tonight. we will listen for more announcements from the president of belarus sometime tomorrow. >> thank you very much. daniel hawkins. a professor of russian politics and director of the democratic resilience program for the center of european policy analysis, and has the book "putin versus the people". he joins us now. from moscow, the

how did they become so fed up with the kremlin? thank you so much for your time. talk to us about the core conflict between the wagner group and the russian military. how did putin allow it to get to this point? >> he made a fundamental mistake and it has weakened him enormously, probably permanently. certainly the comment by prigozhin in public that the war was unnecessary that nato wasn't the cause of it is devastating putin's internal standings. a context though is an order, the invasion with a couple of hundred thousand russian troops, the bulk of the armor, the bulk of the artillery the most important russian military formation, the bulk of the fighter bombers, russian navy were not wagner group's, they were around 30,000 to 50,000 troops they were primarily light infantry they had one confirmed major contribution of ten months fighting to take bakhmut and they had her renda's casualties. but even then, there may have been a couple of hundred thousand total russian casualties, 30,000 from the wagner group, i think prigozhin go

now the kremlin struck a deal with prigoshin. what's your reaction to these late-breaking developments? >> i agree with what was said. we don't have all the facts. missing facts. don't add up, number one, do we really know there was a rocket strike on prigoshin's troops? don't really flow that. seen video but no evidence of that. we no tactical nuclear weapons supposedly moved into belarus. is it possible this is a mass raid of distraction to be able toll redeploy the wagner group troops into belarus? we don't know that and don't really understand the essence of the deal. so there's a lot of facts here that don't make sense, but it doesn't seem to prigoshin is the kind of person who would have lost something like this, prepared for it, and then suddenly just decide, well, i don't seem to have the troops aboard. i think i'll cut a deal and go into exile in belarus. this is a man who controls syria. he's got troops all over africa. he's bringing in gold, he's worth a lot of money. there's a lot, a lot more here we're not seeing yet

that would have sent chills through the kremlin.hat's not what they want to see on the streets of their own city. so in an attempt to sort of regain credibility putin in this very short speech gave some time to making it clear that it was him that gave the order to make sure there was no further bloodshed. and so, you know, he knows that russian people, while they may have supported the critique of yevgeny prigozhin. supported his condemnation of how the war was conducted by the top brass. he also clearly understood that russians are not supportive of more russians being killed. i think that was probably an attempt by vladimir putin to, you know, show himself to have been the hero of the moment, rather than the president who looks incredibly weak as a result of this. >> yeah, hero of the moment. and yet, the president who oversaw a country in which a private army was able to take a city in the southern part of the country that controls operations inside ukraine and march a good two-thirds of the way up the highway towards the russia
