and what we are not so certain now. we know that this is a convoy of wagner vehicles leaving rostov on don, moving around rostov on don, moving around rostov on don because what we can say is where it is. we can say where we are going. are they rejoining the fight in ukraine where they go somewhere else? their armoured vehicles and of course, the main battle tanks we have seen on the streets of russia. over the is really interesting. it is this one. this one is from rostov on don, and this is the return of the russian police. when you watch through this footage what you can hear is people shouting. there is one voice in the video who shouts they are traitors. so if there is local anger the police that tells us something very interesting although it is worth pointing out that we don t know who these people are. as ever with footage coming out of russia we have to take it with a serious pinch of
through, leaving debris. what can we conclude from all of this? first of all, vladimir putin. he does not emerge from this looking particularly strong, you would have to say. if you look at the ease with which the wagner mercenary group swept in to rostov on don and took the military sites, and moved towards moscow, that is quite astonishing. mr putin had come on national television yesterday with strong words, talking about treachery and betrayal. and russia being stabbed in the back. and yet by the end of the day all charges were dropped against yevgeny prigozhin and you are free to go to belarus! so that is regarding vladimir putin. also, many people have been
to track the convoy of wagner vehicles. they are now assessing the aftermath and where it leaves the wagner group. our correspondent, joe inwood, has been working with the team and is in the newsroom with more. it is one of the things everyone has said. we ve got to be careful because there is a lot that we don t know. that is what the team have been trying to verify. it has been a busy 36 hours because of this man, yevgeny prigozhin as he was leaving yesterday. the day before that we were trying to track the convoy as it snaked its way up the m4. they then turned back and soak in many ways, the pictures that matter are these ones of yevgeny prigozhin leaving. what we don t know exactly is his location. what is going to be doing when he gets there or whether he will be saved. as it has been suggested, he has angered the man in the kremlin but for now, he has left rostov on don. if we go to other pictures, to tell you what we know
wondering whether yevgeny prigozhin with his private army could be a threat to the russian authorities, so perhaps there is a question about the judgment of the kremlin? 0n the other hand, let s look at yevgeny prigozhin, what does this tell us about the chief of wagner? it tells us you can have a private army and you can mutiny and you can set the goal of toppling the military leadership of russia and at the end of the day, you are free, you are a free man. all right, he has to go to belarus as a result of the deal with the kremlin but think back to the 1990s, 1991, a coup against mikhail gorbachev, what happened to the leaders? they were all put in prison. back in 93, a rebellion against boris yeltsin, the leaders were put in prison. after this armed mutiny
