ukraine. nada bashir, thank you so much. the president of belarus will be meeting soon with russian leader vladimir putin reportedly to work on strength ning their strategic alliance. last month, putin claimed russia had deployed tax call nuclear weapons to belarus. u.s. intelligence officials say they have no reason to doubt it. ukraine estimates up to 5,000 wagner mercenaries are encamped in belarus, and more keep coming. ukraine s border guard says it does not see those fighters as a direct threat, but it s taking no chances. according to a senior commander, the border region has been heavily mined to deter any potential incursion from belarus. you d think an avid supporter of russia s war on ukraine would enjoy the favor of the putin government, but former fsb colonel igor gherkin is under arrest in moscow, charged with inciting extremism.

he says that putin was forced to cut what he called a humiliating deal to save his skin. you ll recall that on june 24th, phil, we heard that the mutiny was suddenly ending. that a deal had been struck, brokered by the president of belarus, saying that wagner would be going to belarus. we have seen in the past few days some of those wagner troops heading into that country. but clearly now, phil, according to the head of mi6, putin is rattled and we believe that he is trying to weaken prigozhin, while trying to keep those wagner fighters, inviting them to join the russian military because they are still a considerable fighting force. phil? alex marquardt and team live in odesa. great work. stay safe, my friend. and donald trump could face a third criminal indictment soon. how the former president s congressional allies and his top 2024 rivals are reacting. and 27 years later, a new development in the tupac shakur

five days after that actually meeting with the man behind that treason. now, of course, since the 29th of june there have been a lot of questions now that we know they met on the 29th of june, where prigozhin actually is. people thought he was in belarus, then the president of belarus alexander lukashenko said, no, he is in st. petersburg, maybe he s going to moscow. so this situation in russia which was already mind-boggling on the 24th of june is only getting more mysterious. phil? yeah, it was very much an eyebrow raising wait, what, kind of news. tied to that is the appearance or at least reported appearance of valery gerasimov, certificate say shoigu being the other that prigozhin targeted by name during that insurrection. what does the video and release

mind-boggling, frankly. the fact that this is a man basically putin on the 24th of june, the day of the mutiny, he said that the mutiny is treason. five days later he s meeting with the man who led led that mutiny. it really does reflect, i think, the chaos that may be just below the surface within russia. and, of course, let s keep in mind nobody has seen prigozhin since the 24th of june. this meeting took place, we don t know where, on the 29th of june. since then, that s 12 days ago, nobody has seen or heard of prigozhin. now, we did hear the president of belarus, lukashenko, saying that he s in moscow or rather he s in st. petersburg, perhaps he s going to moscow, but he hasn t been seen or heard from. this is a man i mean, for instance, we are in ukraine.
