this is our special coverage out of russia. the head of wagner group, the leader released a statement. therefore, realizing all the responsibilities for the fact that russian blood will be shed from one of the sides we turn our columns and move in the opposite field of the camps. officials claim their president had reached a deal with the wagner boss to halt his troops. earlier, he said his private army seizeded control of russian military facilities in it two critical cities. that is half way on the road to moscow. president putin called the actions a betrayal and stab notice back to the russian people. and he warned anyone who followed pergosian will pay a price. these are bulldogs and gangsters and the fight is way out into the open. it is a very serious one. we have full coverage of the breaking news. we have cnn chief international security correspondent with us nick paton walsh, national security reporter natasha bertrand. nick, i guess the question now is not onl
so, it s going to be spun as an act of betrayal. but mostly, you know, totalitarian propaganda doesn t rest on clear narratives. it rests on creating a chaotic information space. a sense of dread. a sense of being under siege. in this sense, prigozhin s insurgency isn t necessarily destructive to the propaganda. a different question is what does this do to putin s war ne effort in ukraine? if prigozhin is able to weaken it, that, in turn, can have an impact on what happens to the propaganda machine. thank you very much. earlier today i spoke with the professor of international affairs at the news school and the great granddaughter of the former soviet premier kruschev. she raise serious questions
kruschev who used the term useful idiots. is not the time for americans to behave like that. our leadership has made a difference in europe, it s peaceful and stable. we shouldn t just assume it s always going to be this way. putin is trying to disrupt it. the biden administration is trying to get nato countries and other european allies to be unified, be tough with sanctions on russia if they invade. those countries have gone through four years of the former president bad mouthing nato and now hearing this latest dialogue in u.s. politics. does it hurt u.s. credibility? it certainly didn t make it easy. there s a reason why the first very important meeting that president biden had with nato allies, with all of the alliances was to explicitly say in public and in private america is back, america has nato s

lives at risk and making sure we ve got the resources for the american people, i will do what is necessary. frankly, that s the kind of commander in chief we need that truly has the courage just as we ve seen in our country s past how kennedy met with kruschev. excuse me, sorry, let me frk, stalin who killed millions of people but actually allied with him. why? because it was in the best interest of our country and to bring about an end to that war. so, no, if it means meeting with dictators, if it means working with so why meeting with people like bashar al assad but not necessarily meeting with the leader of saudi arabia or having a relationship with them. sure. you re mixing two different things up. i m talking about having i don t think i m mixing two different things up. i am just trying to get clarity on it because there seems to be
