factions at arms length, prigozhin doesn t have a direct line to vladimir putin that s why he likes to shout on social media all the time. so, you know, this is a very strange situation frankly given the amount of noise that prigozhin has been making over the last three or four months, you know, one would have been foolish to think that it couldn t have gone this far. but i think the fact that there are so many question marks over how quickly it resolved does beg a lot of questions, if prigozhin is given power not florida that will be extremely uncomfortable for the west for ukraine for the belarusian people lukashenko s rumored to be ill he s been in moscow a lot, i m sure the kremlin is looking around for someone who can exert power in belarus. if prigozhin is still somebody
with a former ukrainian defense minister and they spoke about saturday s skraextraordinary ev and what the insurrection might mean for wagner group going forward. i don t think we had too many expectations yesterday so today we re just watching the situation how it unfolds. i don t think that is the end of the story for prigozhin because, first of all, he needs to learn what we all know that putin doesn t honor any agreements. and putin will consider this as a threat, so there will be some continuation of that story. also we were quite shocked with the low level of readiness of the troops inside russia because rebel could forces almost without stopping. only reason it didn t escalate further is because prigozhin decided to deescalate. and finally, we could see the

which has been a very hard slog since the beginning of the war for the russians. the morale is probably weight down, and they probably weren t in the mood to fight a fellow russian. so, what happens by this evening at the next few hours is going to be key for vladimir putin s standing as president of russia, as he faces this extraordinarily significant challenge. by a man who is very powerful. now, prigozhin doesn t represent the russian military, but he has widespread support across russia, and indeed, that seems to be the case, because he doesn t seem to be facing much resistance on his march towards moscow. so, as i said, in the coming hours and days, this is going to be key to see how well he had gone through and what the reaction is going to be from vladimir putin. the kremlin, and his top brass. jonathan? one more question for you, ali, is that when you talked about the loyalty of the
