then you and then change topics. one thing you mentioned is, sorry, you said the united states will continue sorry, the united states will continue to impose costs on wagner or its successor. is there any indication right now that wagner is actually standing up a successor organization? i think i said or successor if any. we have noted the announcements by the ministry of defense that wagner forces are supposed to be absorbed into the ministry of defense. we don t have any assessment of what will happen to the wagner group, either in ukraine or elsewhere and the world, but whether it s wagner or whether it s a successor or any other organization that conducts the activities that wagner has conducted to destabilize those we will hold them accountable. i don t have any assessments at this time. there are media reports that the biden administration had intelligence about the mutiny, whatever you call it, since mid june. is that correct, and also if that s true, why didn
that any american citizens considering travel to russia should not do so and any american citizens in russia should depart immediately. anything else on this topic or sayid. and another media report that state department treasury decided to postpone announcing new sanctions against wagner following the mutiny. we never comment on the timing of sanctions actions. generally we time the sanctions actions we take for maximum impact and maximum effect and we will continue as i said a moment ago to hold wagner or any other organization that conducts destabilizing activities that wagner has done across the world, we will hold any such organization accountable. i promised him the first nonrussian question. russians are responding in realtime to the outreach the president ordered.
