very little pushback, anita. he s taken over the main military headquarters demanding to see the russian defense chief and the head of the military. of but the other front that we re watching closely is it seems that he has sent about 5,000 of his mercenary members up the highway towards moscow, could be within about 200 miles. not much resistance either from the russian military inside russia, but we knew that the kremlin is on high alert, sort of a counterterrorism regime. vladimir putin, of course, has been lashing out how. many a video earlier today, he said that prigozhin s actions were internal betrayal, treason, and he s promising a harsh response which, frankly, we haven t seen yet. yes, here in kyiv still russia is waging its war against ukraine. we saw 20 the cruise missiles come in overnight here. just about all of them were shot down, but there was some damage. later on in an online message ukrainian president zelenskyy had this to say about what was happening in
milley has canceled his trip ireland i m sorry, to israel and jordan due to the situation going on in russia. so apparently the white house is a taking this very seriously. what do you want to the hear from the white house? what would give you a sense of comfort? what sort of statement from the white house do you want to hear? well, it would be nice to actually hear from the commander in chief. having the secretary of state convene a group of european foreign ministers isn t exactly a shining show of strength. and i think if the commander and chief came out and said that, you know, that this was something the united states did take very seriously, we ve got to remember russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. if putin is destabilized, we could be left with a nightmare scenario of a bunch of little russian statelets all with their nuclear arsenals which could be an enormous problem for the united states that would dwarf ukraine. we also have to keep an eye on what china

but the forces hoff in and in short order with this new force, probably an increase, maybe double in size, there will be immediate elections, a sham election that says we really want to be russian just like he did in crimea back in 2014, he ll have additional legitimacy to bring in more forces and then he begins some conversations with zelenskyy, the government says this is legit. these statelets exist. we ll start pushing out. pull it back out one more time because we mentioned this is the region we just zoomed in on but we have forces, lots of forces in belarus, right. so when you re looking at this, i m curious, if the threat is, and you have vladimir putin saying that ukraine owes its ancestry to the soviet union, the russians, that s a lot of other nations who are threatened when he says that. what other nations do you think need to be on high alert now when you know that there are troops here and you know what vladimir putin is saying now? great question, because
