a little earlier i went and spoke to oleg antonenko from the russian service who told me about it.touch with his mother and she gave us a lot of documents and the death certificate. we compared the death certificate and another death certificate which was given to a news agency during the investigation and we came to the conclusion that more than 50 russians might be called in september 2017. this mother is arguing her son deserves military honours. the russian ministry is saying, no, he went as an individual decision, not sent by his country. the russian authority is straightforward about this account. they are saying they have militarily and servicemen there and they know where they are fighting, who they died, but fools mercenaries, it was their decision —— but the mercenaries, it was their decision. ukraine, it is said those were not our men. they have tried to put a divide between the state and the fighters on the globe. that sounds like something similar could be happening in syria. yes, they are saying it is not a moscow initiative in ukraine, it's as volunteers. alikov was

paul manafort existed as a figure who kind of got sucked into this initially by a russian oligarch, oleg gary pass ka who was an aluminum mag gnat and who for a period of time was very close to vladimir pew tip and a ukrainian oligarch who like so many of these other oligarchs began essentially as -- a gangster. somebody who came up in a rough-and-tumble sort of way and then tried to become much more legitimate. so they hired him to do work in the former soviet orbit where they had political interests. again, their political interests were indistinguishable from russia's political interests. and so manafort and his firm initially did work in georgia where they tried to bring back a guy who was pretty terrible who was accuse of trying to assassinate the president edward and stood trial for it and they wanted to bring him from ex-aisle from moscow back and they worked with ukraine trying to deal with some of the revolutions and the revolutionary like the orange revolution and the democratic murmurings that would have threatened a lot of russia's business interests, russian business interes

. >> are you talking about aluminum king oleg darapaska. >> i am talking about darapaska. who by the way was at the munich security conference this weekend, is still very much in circulation, is a close ally of putin, and was very close to manafort. so all of this tell us that the special counsel is getting very deep into those relationships between manafort, the ukrainians and oligarchs in general. >> he certainly is. darapaska, i believe, who was born and raised in siberia, so he may have some ice running through his veins while the president seems to be very fired up, at least on social media this weekend. malcolm, what's your take on this? >> well, i agree with mr. allen, this appears that manafort is conducting at that level what we're seeing from this indictment, this is where the counterintelligence part of this game is coming in. he's going back to the very beginning of russian money channeled through the ukraine, through the present government at that time, which was in opposition to julia timenchenko which, you know, all i can say is this guy is going for every d

and he was offering briefings to a russian oligarch, oleg d dereposkov. >> all right. and let me bring in my fellow white house correspondent kelly o'donnell tracking all the developments at the courthouse today. kelly, what are you expecting from the court proceedings? >> well, as you laid out, so many of the issues here and these federal cases exist in documents in many ways. here at the courthouse, it becomes three-dimensional where a defendant like rick gates has to walk through a gauntlet of cameras. each of the doors to this federal u.s. district court building are covered by cameras as theyor a regular basis related to the russia investigation. so there will be that moment where no longer the presumption of innocence but the plan under the information granted to the government for rick gates to identify himself as someone willing to plead guilty. so the human part of this changes dramatically here at the courthouse this afternoon. we believe it will happen in the next hour because it is federal court. there nor cameras in the courtroom. but we will have colleagu
