CNN's Nic Robertson explores what impact the Wagner insurrection could have on President Putin's grip on power
From CNN's Tim Lister and Nathan Hodge
The two-minute video shows Prigozhin with the two officers in a courtyard, possibly in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, surrounded by bodyguards. A Telegram channel that has been a reliable source of information about Wagner operations claims the discussion took place at the headquarters of Russia's Southern Military District. The exact time of the meeting is unknown, but it is in daylight.
At one point, Prigozhin says to the men, “We will shoot down all of them if you send them.” The context is unclear. Russian President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged that the situation in Rostov is"difficult" and that military and civilian buildings have been blockaded. It is unclear if there have been exchanges of fire there.“We came here," he said."We want to receive the chief of general staff [Vitaly Gerasimov] and [Defense Minister Sergei] Shoigu. “Until they are here we will be located here, blockading the city of Rostov. And we’ll go to Moscow.
