calling a rebellion. not from ukrainian supporters trite russian mercenary fighters for the group claiming control the russian city of rostov on don. that is been fighting your gratings at a cost of more than 20000 russian soldiers lives. it s leader blames many of those deaths on russian military leaders. and now that later has set his sights on them. not a coup he says about a march for justice. here is what is remarkable. his troops are already 60 miles into russia. they are setting their sites much further. reason enough for vladimir putin to call for his arrest. but citizens on alert. confusing for ukraine and the turning point for a war in the world. welcome everyone i am neil cavuto. man oh man fast moving develops overnight. the latest in kyiv. we ve been tracking last 24 hours with potential ramifications for this war and maybe it much more. the biggest challenge to russian president vladimir putin during his time in power, an attempted coup, an armed uprising you na
this is a military uprising and a justified one. he said all the russian generals who were responsible for not providing him needed ammunition, they must go. the removal of the defense minister says he was the one referring to the defense of ministry that or the bombing on his camps in ukraine and deliberately targeted his russian soldiers for his referred elite repeatedly referred to them as his russian military soldiers. the only thing he wants military command entirely replaced. is your said than done. vladimir putin said is as good as is rested now. turn yourself in. amnesty has been offered to the wagner troops who are in there. we do not know how many are part of this invasion. we are keeping track of it though. this at a time vladimir putin has essentially moscow under siege and watch and protect it
this trouble had the kremlin he was with wagner was the most successful military entity in the entire russian armed forces. they help win and mariupol, in trent eight and finally in bakhmut. note unit had anywhere near that success. they therefore gave him a lot of latitude they did not want to upset him they did not want to lose that capacity for the next level of fights they would have had. i think when he started making all these crazy claims going all the way back late last year they let him have a long leash certainly they have buyers remorse on that decision now. because prigozhin felt himself a bullet and he could do anything. now they have a horrible situation they got to try to navigate now. neil: colonel comic you think he gave any warning to his friend vladimir putin? that i ve had enough of this or he anticipated putin would support him?
most importantly, something that will reboot well beyond weeks and months beyond what happens in the next few days is he hasn t belied and contradicted putin in this lie this is all about ukraine threatening a russia or at nato threatening russia. it has all been a big lie. it is all about the russian generals, oligarchs went to further plunder ukraine and pump up their own ego. that s going to do lasting damage to long-term support for this conflict. neil: are a secretary thank you very much for that for the second is wrapping up the statement we are learning now eight depots been set up played by the wagner group as it reaches the city of voronezh. i believe that is about 10 miles east of the one we are talking about here. it expands and extends. furthermore the list of demands remains the same right now with concern with what prigozhin wants before he would presumably stand down. this is not a coup.
moving target on this story. neil: and greg, we are learning western intelligence official told the washington post that he has overplayed his hand. there is no way back for him. now, i do not know whether that s greeted as good news in ukraine. right now bakhmut responsible for trying to lock that demo russia at the cost of 20000 russian shoulders lives. do not know who is controlling or handling that for the russians now. it has added considerable disarray to this war and where russia is, right? that s absolutely i think disarray in general is good for the official fear in kyiv. it is spinning out of control. it is hard to know what that could mean. it could mean president putin taking our extreme measures. and, you have got, oh wagner
