played his role in this story and that it was clearly the interaction between general surovikin and prigozhin, this stems from the fact that they have a long-standing relationship . i think that prigozhin in this story was very much counting on the support of the military, and surovikin could become a bridge thanks to his connections and authority in the army, the american diplomat points to another clue that shows that syroikin knew how to change his position in order to protect himself. i urge you to stop . i watched very carefully this video message of suroikin recorded last weekend there . he asks wagner soldiers to get rid of their weapons. and this is a very strange video he looks depressed when he talks about it there were even many guesses that he was drunk or even that he was poisoned at that time he had no inspiration of energy at all he was confused as if he didn't want to to do this and i think it is true. far from everyone shares the opinion of american high-ranking officials about the direct participation in the conspiracy of russian generals like surovikin prigozhin s

there's no word what happened to this commander, general surovikin. the "wall street journal" is now reporting he's been detained for suspected wagner links. though this senior russian mp is now playing that down. surovikin is not reachable, he told this russian blogger, and he's resting, he says. erin, there is so much happening, it seems, with the russian military, as all of that ta takes place, the russian defense ministry have been taking control of wagner's, the mercenary group's heavy weapons and ammunition. there have been some dramatic images of that as well. and it seems that the kremlin is tightening its grip and sort of purging dissidence within its ranks. >> matthew, thank you very much. >>> and i want to go now to thomas grove, the "wall street journal" reporter who broke that story that i mentioned at the top of the program about more senior russian military officers being detained and questioned in the wake of this mutiny, along with retired lieutenant general mark hurtling, the former commanding general for europe and the 7th army. tha

a member of the russian parliament told cnn that surovikin i believe the words he used is resting and not available. i wonder if you find that description credible? >> well, it sits very naturally within the murky world of the kremlin and the putin's reaction to the wagner led coup which i think was part of really an unraveling of the command and control structures within the russian armed forces on the ukrainian front line. prior to the wagner coup, surovikin, who was very close to yevgeny prigozhin the leader of wagner, they have been in close contact and why he's been, quote, unquote, rested after this coup attempt effectively by wagner. this is not the only movement. you've seen that reporting for the "wall street journal" and we've got the recent killing of oleg tsokov, a general in charge of the brigade, sending a message to senior officers within the russian armed forces being in ukraine is a very dangerous occupation, indeed, and on top of that, the commander of the 58th brigade, ivan popov, who is also a general, who was removed from his post he says, by what he said was the

you look at the mafia counsel, if you liechlkt as for surovikin.'s popular among the rank-and-file soldiers. he set up the defense lines that are causing ukraine so many problems right now, called general armageddon because of his murderous activities in syria. i suspect he has been put away for a while, not least because of this fight or this close involvement with wagner itself and prigozhin. >> when you say "put away for a while," make that plain for us. >> rumors around him in russia are that he's been arrested. it's been suggesting now he's working as normal. clearly that's not the case. i pd he may be in some form of detention, maybe luxurious detention, and perhaps with his attention and nom, he's likely not to meet with any accidents, but he's been put aside for a while. >> after this rebellion a week ago, prigozhin was supposed to be taken to belarus. there is now, from president luke luka lukashenko, to be in belarus. what do you make of the request to take in wagner instructors? >> it's both russia and belarus really as it will allow the

as i mentioned, general surovikin hasn't been seen since the coup. prigozhin hasn't been seen sisince the failed coup. what more can you tell us? >> as for prigozhin, we don't know for sure. his location is still unknown. but we have a lot of indications that he's still inside russia most probably in st. petersburg, his native city where he has a lot of real estate assets. so he definitely has some place to live. but what we did, we produced kind of -- we tried to answer the question what kind of person he is and how his personality could influence the mutiny that he started on june 24th. and we also went into the details of his relationship with putin. prigozhin is a real sadist, a man really and truly upset with verbal, physical cruelty. for example, just a short example. you must understand that in prigozhin's office in st. petersburg in a very visible place, there was a photograph of the severed head of african rebels who were killed by wagner group presumably in the central african republic. just imagine the photographs of the head. we also foun

strengthen our possibilities are already in the counteroffensive, because we know these redoubts that surovikin built in the south and those redoubts that they are building now in the luhansk and donetsk regions . as well as tactical , operational-tactical, even strategic consequences. other equipment, ammunition, weapons and equipment, it is only a matter of time. it is important to argue for ourselves, for our partners, for our friends, for the world, we could argue this, prove the necessity from the point of view of the current situation that has developed , it is obvious that in operational and tactical terms it is better to comment on it military, in addition , i will only add that it is very important in the current situation, especially in the conditions of the minefield of the total territory on which the battles are being fought, is the use of such ammunition. the third is from the point of view of, say, e-e relations with partners, it is very important here to understand that the exchange of information, the achievement of agreements , the observance of regulations, the use of similar

that is, everyone except surovikin remained in their places, i think in the basement his teeth were prepared by dentists in civilian clothes and so on . well, what happened to him in his position , gerasimov went to korea in his position and so on, they did not even change one or another operational generals except for the commander of the 58th army, popov, well, by the way, where exactly is there no popov , for how long it is unknown, they say that he is in such an honorable force and not even an honorary one, sometimes instead of khyzhin, the command is in syria, and here is the latest message that he is so they say that the 58th army is sitting under the ukrainian offensive, and let's see if we can see the truth of our warnings . he didn't shout desperately, we don't have enough, and this is an example. well, popova, he will only strengthen the dissidence of the generals' rubles . indeed, it's all about the generalship that you are talking about . well, on the other hand, we also understand that there are new troubadours of the idea of ​​a new long war, in particular, the polovtsian map ,

analogy by all the boyars, if only now i used such a term as seven generals that is, everyone except surovikines, i think in the basement his teeth were prepared by dentists in civilian clothes and so on . well, what about his position, gerasimov went to korea in his position and so on, they did not even change one or another operational generals except the commander of the 58th army popova, by the way, where is the correct shpola not only the average popova , how much is unknown about him for the fact that he, uh , has such an honorable force, he has a very honorable even a sovereign one, sometimes instead of khyzhin , the team that is in syria and here is the last message they are talking about the fact that the 58th army is sitting down when the ukrainians are next, and i ask that we see that we do not have enough rights to warn him, he is the father and shouted, and here is this example of popov, he will only strengthen the dissidence of the generals' rubles, and well, the advice is really here all the generals that you are talking about from the other side. also, we understand that there

strengthen our capabilities already in the counteroffensive, because we know these redoubts that surovikin those redoubts that they are building now in the luhansk and donetsk regions, as for a-and let's say the evaluations of this decision and these steps, they have both political, international and tactical operational-tactical even strategic consequences. explain why here , let's say the peculiarity of this decision . that there are no stops in helping ukraine with everything it needs. and it does not have the supply of this or that equipment , ammunition, weapons, and equipment. it is only a matter of time. it is important to argue for ourselves, for our partners, for our friends, for the world, we could this is to argue, to prove the necessity from the point of view of the current situation that has developed, it is obvious that in operational and tactical terms it is better for the military to comment on it, besides that , i will only add that it is very important in the current situation, especially in the conditions of the minefield of the total territory on which the battles are b

importance , besides that the armed forces of ukraine in the south have already reached the so-called surovikinians have spread these. these are the dragon's teeth. there is an explosion in russia. they look and find there remnants of anti-aircraft missile systems , also cotton occurred in another settlement in samara. there, someone planted explosives in an oil depot, an oil refinery about this, and also russia and africa, what he promised or not, how the president of zimbabwe actually spat on putin on his bare head , we will talk about this and that and other things for the next hour and 45 minutes, and the long term will begin . charitable fund vesna together started a new collection for the purchase of modern drones for conducting highly effective reconnaissance drones are needed separately by the 23rd rifle battalion of the armed forces of ukraine fighting in the donetsk direction mavic 3 about mavic 3 t kamikaze drones and accessories for them, the total cost of all this is one million uah 900,000, the amount is small, but we will manage, the fighters can and we will also be able to join

bunch of officers somewhere generals, no one can say where they are, they have already looked for surovikinsilence of the sailors, that is, they seem to be somewhere . it seems that no one has arrested them, but they are nowhere . he got out of this situation with a beautiful campaign - this is how i will say this is a thermometer and this is an indicator of a disease that exists in the russian military militia, it is clear that there is a split between the parquet generals who were protected in the ministry of defense and the so-called generals by the franks, and i think that it was they who remained behind the beauties because they could move without hindrance, but from the field camps through the territory controlled by the russian government to the youth zone and further to moscow, they could only if the armed forces or even - there would be no supporters of them in the law enforcement agencies of the russian federation, who, in general , the people keep a fig in their pocket, that is, it is a reflection of conflicts in the russian military elite. it is clear that the absence of srulyki

now detaining and dropping is new, even for the russians themselves , the most publicized types of surovikinn turned out to be just in practice, well, blame it on the word, they look oligophrenic and imbecile in their even in the videos, that is, dubovo has such classic soviet generals, where can a leader appear in this russian military junta ? well, i am not saying my point of view, because you and i are there, uh, we can be considered we are somehow involved, connected to this, to this of the russian information space i just take information from various sources - english-speaking twitters there russian foreign e-e experts and this is the only idea i found so when they analyzed the situation with the adapted they simply modeled a variant of e-e development what can dissatisfaction among the military be? you say that it is simply limitless, those who you call stupid generals, but they are even more stupid in the leadership, do you remember how they could be such a general lebed, who played politics there, who was removed from they have this tradition of gromov, there was once such a general

well, they started with surovikin. and what is he really like?y and large, he was a creature and handsome in the first place. there is still syria for them and eh, actually, it is obvious that they do not stop at the soroviks, and they begin to try to eliminate all those who in one way or another were suspected of loyalty to eh wagner, the head of this cwc, because i think that the russian political leadership, first of all, was a little shocked by what happened in rostov and how quickly the wagners , under the leadership of prigozhin, managed to capture practically all military facilities in rostov. shot that is, it means that the military simply seemed to them, and they even got under their control then the headquarters of this southern military district, the so-called ta, from which, among other things , the coronation of the war waged by the russians on the territory of ukraine is carried out, so i think that it is so the classic panic reaction of the russian dictatorship to try to eliminate disloyal military personnel who could potentially t

redoubts, in particular, there is a lot of talk about the southern these redoubts there are called surovikinines, these are the trenches they dug and they go deep there for 40 km . is the situation the same on the eastern front? the enemy, of course, was preparing for our offensive actions, and all offensive actions, of course, for us, in fact , in many ways, from the point of view of military military theory and military practice, are completely unprecedented in nature, because we are using much less aviation , using much less heavy equipment and artillery e- we carry out offensive operations and destroy the enemy in the history in the history of world military theory and military practice, in fact, this is one of the very few largely unprecedented phenomena and what the ukrainian army is currently doing at the front are incredible things and these are things that in many respects have no precedents at all in world history. now everyone who is involved in this is doing his job, just like our battalion is doing, our brigade and every ukrainian who is now in the rear he must do everything in

invasion of ukraine was about to happen prigozhin's plans for the mutiny the russian general serhiy surovikinave known, but it is not known whether he supported the leader of the wagnerites or passed the information on to the fsb. according to the new york times

analogy with the seven boyars, let me now use such a term as seven generals that is, everyone except surovikind so on . well, what happened to him in his position , gerasimov went to korea in his position and so on, they did not even change one or another operational generals except the commander of the 58th army by the way, he has popova, where is the right one for shpola, not only the average popova, how much is unknown for him, that he has such an honorary power, he has an even honorary promotion at times instead of different teams that are in syria, and here is the latest message they are talking about the fact that the 58th army is proceeding with the ukrainian offensive, and let's see if we can see the rights of his warnings , he is desperate and shouted, and we don't have enough, and this is an example. well, popova, he will only strengthen the dissidence of the generals' rubles, and well, the advice is really here you are the generals that you are talking about from the other side. we also understand that there are new troubadours of the idea of ​​a new long war, in particular the map

into account the fact that the southern front consists of these large redoubts, which are called surovikin lines, that is, and obviously all these dugouts are concreted there, yes, all this infrastructure was simply created in the south , what can weapons do, what can the ukrainian army in the south do, so, well, on in the south or in the east, where they were not applied, there is one principle in these ammunitions, they are designed, as the serviceman of the 14th brigade clearly said, absolutely correctly , to defeat the infantry of lightly armored targets. i live a in the trenches well, let's say that the trenches are not concreted, that is, unprotected by means of additional forces, but simply such open trenches and so on. where can these cassettes fall directly and break and hit the enemy's manpower from the point of view of counter-infantry and for example, if we take e-e there in open areas of the terrain or in the immediate vicinity of some trenches, it is a very effective weapon in the trenches because it allows you to actually neutralize plus hit in larger areas than in this case

southern fronts, considering that the southern front consists of these large redoubts, which are called surovikine bunkers are concreted there in the south or in the east, where they did not apply the principle of water in those ammunition they are provided as absolutely correct

where did they find the willow to the so-called surovikin line and these tridents, er , dragon’s teeth, and it’s already much less mined, you can’t say yes you are just showing it. so , there are much less mined and minefields there than there were before that. and this gives opportunities just for making sufficiently serious operational decisions and maintaining operational reserves of actions. well, accordingly, what are the prospects for expansion in your opinion so to speak of what is called a possible breakthrough . to say, lord, forgive some of the experts on the salary no, let's seriously assess the situation that the germans talked about bypassing the minefield , they passed, you understand, they moved them into the minefields, they demined them they were a little closer here at the field, it is called in front of the main line of defense a little different, what are the prospects, look, i once wrote to myself on facebook that i will not comment on the ukrainian offensive until well , at least until september 1. yes, i just set a date for myself: september 1 is when i will have

that is, everyone except surovikin remained in their places, i think in the basement his teeth were preparedwhat in his position, gerasimov went to korea in his position and so on, they did not even change one or another operational generals, except for the commander of the 58th army, popov . popova, how much is unknown about him for the fact that he, uh, for such an honorable force , he has a very honorable one, he is sometimes promoted to the substitute team that is in syria and here are the latest reports that he is there, they are saying that just 58 years ago the army is sitting down when the ukrainian offensive and provocations apparently, he is right in his warnings, he is the father and shouted that we don’t have enough spending. well, we see that he was apparently right, and this is the example of popov. he will only strengthen the dissidence of the generals’ rubles. on the other side, we also understand that there are new regular troubadours of the idea of ​​a new long war, in particular the map of the polovtsy, such a representative of the russian political and establishment, yes,

shyroky gaal, then the institution brought up prigozhyn, pvk wagner was detained , for example, surovikinothing is stressing you, everything is fine in this situation, work and continue to carry out criminal orders . and as for today's situation, suroviking remains in office as much as possible. however , he is currently limited in making decisions and direct management decisions. one more question will concern the temporarily occupied crimea, russian troops they continue to build fortifications there, dig up trenches , they say about it in the east of ukraine. does this mean that russian forces are not going to leave crimea without a fight? it's just for that, in fact, to show a picture for the russian state media and for the russian community, how do they plan to carry it out in general, taking into account the counteroffensive actions of the armed forces, eh, the racists are preparing for defense , they have been preparing thoroughly for many months, and eh, today we see a prepared, prepared, poached defense, several lines, in particular , protective engineering structures and multi-co

of another general of the russian army, the commander-in-chief of the air and space forces serhiy surovikinis the general who coordinated, in particular, the shelling of the energy infrastructure in ukraine. seen in public from june 24, i.e. from the day when the institution of the wagnerites took place in russia, there is an unofficial version of where did suroviking go, lostreet journal wrote that he was arrested and is under investigation due to alleged connections with the victim , and state duma deputy andriy karatapalov, who is the former commander of the 58th army, they say that general surviking is resting . thank you for inviting the army of the russian federation , the general staff of ukraine says that it will continue to focus its main efforts on several areas: kupyansk , limansk, bakhmutsky, avdiyiv , marvinsky, in particular, heavy battles continue there i.e. to hold the south and capture the east. this is how the situation with russian forces and objectives looks now. is this, after all, a diversion of the armed forces of ukraine from a counteroffensive in the southern direct

of defense of the rashtists in the zaporizhzhia direction, cnn reports that this is the so-called surovikinthe village of staro-majorske which is now under the ukrainian flag, the marines from the 35th separate brigade named after rear-admiral mykhailo ostrogradskyi with their comrades of the seventh separate battalion of the ukrainian volunteer army recaptured this village on donetsk region has the rashists and now you can see footage of the purges, ukrainian marines are checking literally every house and every basement for the presence of occupiers, the russians put up fierce resistance, but our fighters managed to break through the enemy's defenses, how was it and what does this success mean on the southern front , an exclusive report from the outskirts of tamayorsk from tsn correspondent ruslan yarmak while our marines were storming old major mortars covered their comrades with high-explosive mines, this is enough for one working day , the occupiers in this area are doing crazy resistance, they retreat reluctantly and do not often surrender, so they fire the russian siren with artillery

, military counter-intelligence are ongoing, and it is not only there that the interrogation of surovikin is said to have been arrested there, it seems to me that in fact he was just taken there today interrogate only each individual of those who were involved or not involved, everyone will answer there . it seems to me that he simply could not understand , for example, who should be in this council , because i do not rule out that there were also people there who were also involved and supported this institution, the participants or the revolution revolutionized yes, let's do it, we still want to turn history, well, in our direction, why are we interested in how it can play in our in our yes in our direction and how we can use it correctly, one of the consequences what we saw were the huge waves of this freedom march, the huge waves that reverberated all over the world absolutely , well, freedom, slaves can't walk let them still call it, but how far they can walk, and in the freedom march, not exactly , next time we will invent together with the title resembles oh, this is completely und

is already observed by the style of supplying russian troops in the near rear of the so-called surovikin'se so stupid that they will listen to the action plan. for us it is for us it will be very pleasant another piece of information from the spokesman of the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine serhii chervaty about the fact that russia has concentrated a lot of a powerful group of more than 100,000 personnel, more than 900 tanks, more than 555 artillery systems, 370 rszv eh, well, quite a large concentration, such a fist is being prepared by the russian federation there, according to cherevatoy , the landing units are the best motorized infantry units, territorial troops, pvk, well, in a word, everything, everything, everything that russia could manage. she managed to manage in this direction, and we remember that in the spring the occupiers promised to go on the offensive. in your opinion, how successful can this offensive be for the russians? the goal of kupyansk, no, it is doomed to failure, even with such forces that they have gathered for us , because they are real. yes, i t

well to the defensive surovikin lines. they didn't even come close to us on our front.orozhye direction, therefore, i would say that, in general, the situation on the zaporozhye front is stable. she is stable and tense. it’s clear that it’s hard to understand that the guys are grinding here, i won’t say any cap of captivating moments, because a lot of friends of my acquaintances ended up in the hospital. yes, there lately . it is clear that so much, of course, this is a war. yes, uh well, that's the number, 300 guys don't even leave or not. well, here's the thing now we were talking to my close friend. ta okay, let's go anyway, because, uh, the third third shell shock. yes, it's really hard for a person. yes, and i can't help but say about the nuclear power plant itself. there are feelings here, because i will also remind you of the situation with the detention of foreign citizens who tried to buy a kilogram and other things here, according to the information i have, they go. um, well, it's like working on several scenarios to do it all the same. uh, some steps from zel

surovikin did not reach. quite right. thank god they didn't. that is, even moreover, changing.ave changed their tactics to be faster, and more unexpected, yes, i don’t know that the fast ones are cunning or kefir, yes, they just take fermented, light armored vehicles or pickups, not even armored ones. you see everything, yes, there are two or three cars driving, one even happens it reaches, well, to our line of defense and they are destroyed there, but the task is their brilliant plan, so that they still get to the first line of defense somehow gain a foothold, and then the armored vehicles will do everything else, but i don’t know who this military genius is art, but at the moment this tactic is now most often used both on the orekhovsky section of the zaporozhye front, and for the time of the imminent ledge, well, about this battle yes , our tank, you already voiced it, by the way, it happened e not now, a week ago. yes been there for about a month. well, people are just watching the video, they just saw the ratings there, of course. yes, here is a spotter, when they are simp

the head of the aerospace forces, sergei surovikin, who we also have not seen since the mutiny, will raise questions around the state of the leadership of the russian armed forces, even as russia attempts here to restore some kind of clarity. >> claire, we are just hearing news of a russian attack on a school in ukraine. what more are you learning about this? >> reporter: the news coming from the head of the military at ministration in zaporizhzhia, this is the town which is just by the frontline, there, it is just inside ukrainian held territory, but very much on the front lines. the school was a site, courting to this ukrainian official, where humanitarian aid was being given out to local people, clearly a sign of just how difficult life is already on this front lines 4 people said to have been killed, all of them in their 40s and 11 injured. as of this morning, police in the area are saying rescue efforts are continuing and they believe more people may be trapped under the rubble. this is a very active front- line. this morning that guy you ukrainian military say they have liberat

pointing out, though not conclusive itself, the man giving the report is second in place of sergei surovikinclearly saying gerasimov is here. he's in charge and questions hanging over the russian military. >> and the kirch bridge being this strategic bridge that links crimea to other lands. clare sebastian, thank you. >>> right now, new york city is under flood watch because of potential downpours. people who live in basements are asked to move to higher ground. at least one person has died according to officials who say storms dumped several inches of rain on sunday. governor kathy hochul declared a state of emergency in orange county. that's where the west point academy appeared to reach a 1 in 1000-year flood. meantime, more gushing floodwaters and in rockland and orange counties a number of people got stranded in their cars and then had to swim to safety. parts of new england also got hit by major flooding including route 4 in killington, vermont, where a highway has been watched out. the state's governor has declared a state of emergency as forecasters expect more severe weather to impa
