lifting of fighting and dying, yevgeny prigozhin got progressively more angry with valery gerasimov and sergeiowards 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 will start to see that quite soon. i think we will start to see that quite soon-— i think we will start to see that uuite soon. ~ ., , . ., quite soon. what

the wagner 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

military leadership and 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

it will 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

in its tone and its tenor with russian defence ministry officials including sergei shoigu as well as chief of staff gerasimovtary, but the most damning thing that was set on television the other day was that he questioned the motives of the whole russian invasion of ukraine and said it was done for a profit motive, it wasn't deliberate russian speaking people in ukraine. —— to liberate. that was perhaps maybe the most damaging thing that mr prigozhin has done publicly and would suggest a big rift. i want to ask you about politics here in the us as well. president biden is touting his bidenomics and infrastructure agenda this week. m2 billion was announced for high—speed internet access. here's what he said about it. it is not enough to have access, you need affordability. that is when i worked with internet service providers. it is called the affordable connectivity programme. it is helping i9 connectivity programme. it is helping 19 million families save around $30 a month on the internet bills and some save a lot more. do you think this is enough to bring broadband to everyone by the president's goal which

targeting the country's top military brass including russian defense minister sergei shoigu, and -- valerie grossman -- gerasimov, excuse me, accusing them of incompetence and starving his troops of weapons and ammunition. last night, the situation took a dramatic turn. in a series of angry videos, prigozhin claimed the russian military carried out a strike against his fighters and in response he called for this rebellion with the goal of ousting shoigu. russia's main security agency responded calling for rogozin's arrest. earlier this morning, putin condemned prigozhin's actions during an address to the nation describing it as a, quote, stab in the back against our nation and our country. tensions grew high in moscow with city officials there bracing for this offensive by the wagner unit. according to prigozhin, his forces were within 200 kilometers of the capital when an agreement was reached. belarus claims that president lukashenko brokered a deal with a vector group to stop the advance. putin's spokesperson dimitri peskov, said the criminal case against prigozhin has now been dropped and that he is actually

defense of the russian federation and its leadership will take revenge on sergei shoigu and chief of the general staff valery gerasimov0 of us and we are going to find out why there is lawlessness in the country our strategic reserve is the entire army and the whole country. everyone who wants to join should end this disgrace . officials in russia call on wagnerites to detain their leader and not to carry out his orders. commander-in-chief of the russian armed forces eh, i would have said so during the demoralized armageddon serhii surovikin called on the mercenaries to stop fsb opened a criminal case filed in calls for armed rebellion the ministry of defense of ukraine succinctly wrote on its pages that we are watching even baydon, as i understand it, was informed about prigozhin's statement, the white house said that it is monitoring the situation will consult with allies and partners well, the news anchor on russia 24 voiced the official position of the authorities that prigozhin's statements do not correspond to reality, but as we understand in growth-on-don for several the objects are under the control of the fig

sergei shoigu is russia's defence minister. valery gerasimovief of the general staff, and prigozhin has repeatedly attacked them both for problems on the battlefield. on saturday he urged russians to join the conflict against the defence ministry. that didn't happen. and when the kremlin was asked about shoigu's position, its spokesperson said, "i'm not aware of any changes in this regard," which could mean a number of things. for now, shoigu keeps hisjob. he's gaining wagner fighters, gaining more control, but as he and putin know, the struggles of the russian military have not gone away and our fourth consideration is the president himself. on saturday he went on national tv accusing prigozhin of treason, but having to address a mutiny by a mercenary force that he's backed is unlikely to have been on putin's list of things to do. nor would have been moscow having to prepare in case wagner arrived. and watching on is the us. so, i think this is clearly... we see cracks emerging. where they go, if anywhere, when they get there, very hard to say

>> reporter: yeah, sergei shoigu, the defense minister, valerri gerasimov, the army chief of staff, these were the two men who prigozhin had been ranting against publicly for months in advance of this situation. so there's context and history to the allegation or the supposition of the intelligence services that he was going to try to capture them. when prigozhin went to rostov-on-don, that big russian military headquarters, with all his troops, he said that that evening, 9:00 p.m. that evening, sergei shoigu, the defense minister, had fled rostov-on-don. we're learning other details from other russian security chiefs. zolotov, the head of the national guard, said that they had got wind of shoigu's -- of prigozhin's plans to challenge the authority, challenge the state. they got wind of those plans that they were supposed to happen on the 22nd to the 25th of june. and they had this from leaks. western intelligence say that they had picked up that prigozhin was about to do something by an increase of level of communications internally, in russia's state security services. so this picture t

not to try and topple putin, but to have a crack at defence minister sergei shoigu and the chief of general staff, valery gerasimov was doing the heavy lifting, the heavy fighting and the dying in their attempt to capture bahkmut. and gerasimov for denying him as he saw it, the ammunition that his troops needed. so his venom, if you like, has been most accurately pointed at those two military leaders. and when he yesterday started to move towards moscow, undoubtedly it rattled vladimir putin. i think when we saw him on television yesterday morning, he looked a very worried man when he was talking in terms of an armed mutiny. but if you played that one through, what was boghosian going to do? was he going to go all the way to moscow and hope that no one would oppose him and march into the kremlin and topple putin? i don't think he thought he could do that. but what he has done and therefore turning around was probably the only thing that he could do. he has still put a lot of pressure on those two russian defence leaders. shogo seems to have disappeared to the present moment. and i think gerasimov, we must also thi

what will he do with sergei shoigu, and chief of staff valery gerasimov, the ones who are both highly condemned by mr. prigozhin? i'm sure putin is not satisfied with russia's military performance ukraine, then also putin has to look around and wondered whether or not his weekend position will encourage others to move against him. i think he will have a strong sense of suspicion, paranoia, and obviously he was suspect that foreign forces, including the states will try to manipulate or exploit the situation inside of russia. so again, his position on that chessboard is very, very weak and poor. he has got teary ranges pieces, but he has to do it in a madrid with a lot makers position even more tenuous, and threaten his survival. i think that what we see in the coming days and weeks will really determine exactly whether or not what has happened recently, is going to result in some really profound and strategic change in russia. >> with that, we will have to leave it there. former cia director and nbc senior national security and intelligence analyst john brennan, thank you very much for

efforts of the russian military prigozhin ultra-defense of russia sergei shoigu and the head of the russian general staff valery gerasimovthe us state department believe that the reason for everything is the failure of the kremlin's goals in ukraine what can i tell you about mr. prigozhin so it is that sometimes he tells the truth sometimes he exaggerates things and i think this reflects the difficulties that russia has faced in achieving its goals russians have achieved their goals in ukraine with every day it becomes more and more obvious and they all criticize each other for not achieving their goals in the study of war, they say that currently the wagnerians have mostly retreated to the rear and do not take part in active hostilities , but their criticism affects the mood of the russian military. we see that the ukrainians are able to achieve significant success day after day around bakhmut on the northern and southern flanks, and this is largely because there is a lack of coordination between those troops, wagner acted in his own interests wagner's interest was to capture the city and prove to putin that they succee

some of that infighting, a lot of anger towards -- towards gerasimov and sergei shoigu who's the russianinister. you're looking at a case where if vladimir putin, for instance, kills prigozhin for this -- for this -- for this mutiny, he instantly makes him a martyr. he could further alienate his rank and file, and that's, i think -- i think -- this is not -- this is based on conversations with american officials, no one's saying this for sure, this is conjecture, but i think that that's part of what you're seeing playing out. if you're a dictator, one of the last things you want to do is lose your military. and if you start rounding up popular military leaders who rank and file soldiers think have their back, you put yourself in a precarious position at a time where the russian military is in trouble to begin with. that's not to say he doesn't go after them at some point. many people who we talked to over the last few days said they think prigozhin is a dead man walking, but i think there has to be some consideration on the part of putin that, you know, the last thing he needs right now

tenor with russian defence ministry officials including sergei shoigu as well as chief of staff barrass of of the russian military —— —— gerasimovon television the other day was that he questioned the motives of the whole russian invasion of the whole russian invasion of ukraine and said it was done for a profit —— a profit motive —— of any promotion at this. that was perhaps maybe the most damaging thing that mr prigozhin has done publicly and would suggest a big rift. i want to ask you about politics here in the us as well. president biden is touting his biden economics and infrastructure agenda this week. m2 billion was announced for high—speed internet access. here is what he said about it. do you think this is enough to bring broadband to everyone by the president cosmic goal which is the year 2030? i the president cosmic goal which is the year 2030?— is the year 2030? i think it would be _ is the year 2030? i think it would be a _ is the year 2030? i think it would be a very _ is the year 2030? i think it would be a very strong - is the year 2030? | think it | would be a very strong step is the year 2030? i think it. would

may well be that the casualty out of all this is defensive minister sergei shoigu, and it may well be the chief of general staff gerasimov who is the operational commander in ukraine. his position is weakened. i think the other effect to bear in mind is that although the russians have had quite some time over this winter and spring to prepare their defensive line, the soldiers are poorly trained, poorly equipped and many of them don't want to be there. the ukrainians i'm sure -- the average russian soldier is pretty low and that is why if they find points of weakness in the russian defensive lines and explore them with one or two decisive things it could have a disproportionate effect in shuddering the morale for the fight -- i produce significant success. now i don't know if this will happen, i would like to think it might but maybe those factors together, ukraine will remain in the strong position against the enemy, -- disjointed command control which political leader has been wounded by effects in the past. yes there is the -- i think you have to watch court carefully what prigozhin and his factor group does. -- i wou

military brass, for example, l with the minister of defence, sergei shoigu, and, of course, - with the head of the armed forces, valery gerasimovprigozhin's demand, - as justin was just referring to, has been to change those in charge l of the so—called special military l operation, russia's war on ukraine. however, if you were to remove them, that would weaken his sort _ of system quite considerably, given the way that it's often l quite finely balanced, _ a balance that can sometimes be very easily upset, as we saw yesterday. on competing interests and on managing thosej competing interests well, - which is something that putin has not been doing, of late, - you know, and since the start of the full—scale invasion, i that said, for him to not do anything would be very difficult, because prigozhin, as we saw. with some of the welcome l that he got, and the sendoff that he had in rostov yesterday, or in the early hours of this - morning, prigozhin is also, - i suppose, a figurehead for an anger and frustration thatl many in russia feel, and notjust among people, but also among certain - parts of the elites, _ that the war is no

relieved about two or three months later by gerasimov and, of course, it's gerasimov and -- who is the chief of the general staff and sergei defense minister, who both prigozhin, surovikin, and many on the far right in russia, believe have completely mishandled the conduct of this war and response -- are responsible for its failure. you can see the lives of these men, their careers and their gripes against the defense ministry all kind of aligned here. i think we'll learn about more people who were kind of in this circle of hardliners on the right within the russian military. >> we also, by the way, have not seen prigozhin, though two planes linked to him were seen at a bela russian air base outside of minsk yesterday. how does this play? >> if i was prigozhin i would stay away from dark alleys and high rise buildings and escape to africa where he still has support among wagner forces located there. but i think that will play out over time. i think what putin has to do, he has to be careful not to make any major moves because if he starts going after prigozhin now or starts some type of purge in the russian military, that

sergei shoigu, who is the russian defense minister was, and valery gerasimov, who is the russian generalan chief of staff, the equivalent of general mark milley, are both loathed, hated by prigozhin. those three men have been at each other's throats for months, if not years now. and so, this kind of was coming to a head, though there was a bit of surprise to see just how big a move prigozhin made. you know, according to defense officials, a couple of home i talked to in the last day or so, this isn't something that's a complete surprise. but it is another sign of just how overstretched the russian military has become. >> what is the thinking inside the pentagon, helene, i don't know if you had a chance yet to speak to your sources specifically about whether or not it presents at window of opportunity for the fight in ukraine? is the military, is the pentagon assessing that there might be an opportunity here worth exploiting on the battlefield, or will they continue with the current counteroffensive as is? >> it's such a good question. it's the first thing i asked yesterday, like, what do

sergey the plane alexei kolchuk to lead. the importance of regular joint exercises between russia and china was discussed at the verdicts of the chief of the general staff valery gerasimoverpart lio genli, the meeting was held via video link gerasimov noted that the in-depth military cooperation 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 dri

russia's defense ministry and defense minister, sergei shoigu, the man on the, left and the head of russia's armed forces, the chief of staff, valery gerasimov. both who prigozhin hates and blames for russia's failure in ukraine. and also, for the wagner group's heavy losses. in a series of messages posted on telegram, prigozhin accused the kremlin of invading ukraine under false pretenses. calling it a quote, rocket. it wasn't done to, quote, demilitarize or the nazify ukraine, but instead to enrich shoigu, the defense minister, and other members of the ruling elite. prigozhin vowed that his troops would advance on moscow to punish russia's, quote, evil military leadership. prigozhin also claimed that one of wagner's field camps was deliberately bombed by russian forces on the personal order of shoigu, who he claimed was in rostov-on-don. which is where prigozhin's forces have centered. joining me now, nbc's chief forest correspondent, richard engel, richard, you understand both this war and specifically the wagner group. and prigozhin, very very well, you and i spoke last night, you have had the day in taipei to digest and talk to people a

one of the aims is at sergei shoigu who is defense minister of russia, blaming him for starting the invasion last year. another person he mentioned was gerasimovgozhin is urging both of them to come see him to discuss what he says simply is a betrayal of what russian citizens should be looking for in this invasion. russian president vladimir putin initially promised punishment to anyone in this armed uprising, but now changing tune also, urging mercenaries to surrender. yevgeny prigozhin is refusing to surrender, he's also saying that all of the mercenaries will not surrender as well. so that is a very different stance. from what we are hearing coming out of this breaking news with this press service release. so really, griff, we'll have to continue watching to see if anything does actually come out of this as we continue to see advancements like we have been seeing minute by minute in the last several hours, or if this is the beginning stages of a reversal and potentially talks to deescalate which is becoming a very scary situation for people with who live this moscow. the streets are now empty, people have shuttered in place. embassies are u

sergei shoigu, still with a job, at least for now. he was seen visiting troops in ukraine, though it's unclear when the video was taken. >> shoigu! gerasimov for months, prigozhin had railed against corruption and inaction among moscow's armed forces, whom he fought alongside in ukraine. prigozhin: we have a 70 percent shortage of ammunition! geoff: a warlord known as "putin's chef" for once running a catering company that fed the kremlin, prighozhin's private empire grew to span dozens of countries. much of his force in ukraine is made up of former convicts. they spent eight months fighting to win control of bakhmut, in the war's bloodiest battle. his firm also provides private security services to leaders across africa, where the u.n. accused it of conducting multiple massacres. today, russian foreign minister sergei lavrov assured wagner-linked african nations that they still had moscow's support. min. lavrov: apart from relationships with wagner, the central african republic and mali have official governmental contacts with russia. following their appeal, several hundred russian servicemen will continue to work in the central recaaficn

establishment enemies , primarily establishment enemies, primarily russian defence minister sergey shoygu, an and valery gerasimovks are not supporting him and are stabbing him in the back while protesting is not actually trying to topple the tsar. but the key thing is prigozhin has got himself into such a conflict with the military . i just don't think military. i just don't think there's a way back for him now and i think he's basically bet the farm on this striking out against the military. but i don't see he has the ability to actually topple them or putin. but it shows the mess putin has got russia into and there must be people putin loyalists in the security apparatus who both hate wagner, hate prigozhin , but are wagner, hate prigozhin, but are also increasingly beginning to question the mess that the boss has caused. and think that's the biggest threat to putin. there must be senior people thinking, well , what a must be senior people thinking, well, what a mess. you must be senior people thinking, well , what a mess. you know, the well, what a mess. you know, the special military operation that was suppo

entirely and prigozhin has| been very direct in his criticism of sergei shoigu the defence minister and valery gerasimovhave any coherent type of defence except the static defence that we have seen for awhile. what lukashenko, the belarusian prime president promised prigozhin? what has made him turn around because he looked to be making tremendous strides and really upsetting the complete equilibrium in the kremlin. so are the promises being done, deals being done? the bottom line is both putin and prigozhin are basically criminals, you would not trust them and inch and even, hopefully the advantage has been tipped very much in the favour of the ukrainian forces. but we're going to have to see, i'm sure a lot will come out in the next few days. interesting that answer talking about the criminality because the us is to give sanctions to the wagner group forfear of siding is to give sanctions to the wagner group for fear of siding with putin. it gives you a sense of what they are grappling with, these sites because of course there will be many people around the world who potentially would like to see vlad

we have to see whether the defence minister sergei shoigu and the chief of staff valery gerasimov remainingould possibly do. that would be a sign of weakness on putin's part that he has had to make this deal with a grey one. that's the first thing you have got to be looking out for. will he address the people of russia? we haven't seen him since he made that dramatic announcement on saturday, there are rumours that one of his presidential plane is actually left russia, possibly to go to belarus, possibly to go to turkey, although i stress those are just rumours. is he going to come out fighting, and will he be able to convince ordinary russians? we saw in rostov on don, they were cheering wagner and there's clearly a lot of latent public support, or at least eight latent public dissatisfaction with putin, so he has to be very careful. crucially, where does _ has to be very careful. crucially, where does this _ has to be very careful. crucially, where does this leave _ has to be very careful. crucially, where does this leave vladimir i where does this leave vladimir putin's wore in ukraine?-
