weekend, saying they d stopped a civil war. the russian authorities have announced plans to disarm wagner they will also investigate how $1 million paid to the wagner group with spent. where spent. of its heavy weapons, but have also confirmed that a criminal case against the group has been dropped. translation: soldiers| and officers are the true defenders of the motherland, who in a difficult time for the country together with their comrades in arms stood in the way of the unrest, which inevitably would have resulted in chaos. you protected the constitution, the lies and the safety of our people. you save our form turmoil. in fact, you stopped civil war. live now to dr marina miron, a researcher at the centre for military ethics at king s college london. they will provide us their analysis. thank you so much. it is startling.
started. god forbid that turmoil spreads across the whole of russia and there are colossal grounds for that, we could be next. absolutely incredible hearing that, we could be next. absolutely incredible hearing that that, we could be next. absolutely incredible hearing that can - that, we could be next. absolutely incredible hearing that can adjust i incredible hearing that can adjust the sense of the flavour of the sorts of conversations that happened on saturday whilst that mutiny was going ahead, and alexander the pachinko having those conversations with him in those efforts to actually call off that march to moscow. what did you make of that? to some of the detail there? i moscow. what did you make of that? to some of the detail there?- to some of the detail there? i think it was exnected to some of the detail there? i think it was expected that, to some of the detail there? i think it was expected that, you to some of the detail there? i think it was expected that, you k
