Ua taofia se taua i le va o tagatanu'u Rusia lava ina ua faatonuina e le ta'ita'i o le vaega'au le Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, ana fitafita e toe solomuli mai le osofa'iga na aga'i ai i le laumua i Moscow.
Na faaalia e Prigozhin ua toe suia lana faai'uga i le manatu i le tele o le toto masa'a o tagata o lona lava atunu'u pe ana taunu'u se taua ma le militari a le Kremlin ma le peresitene Vladimir Putin..
"They wanted to disband the Wagner military company. We embarked on a march of justice on June 23. In 24 hours we got to within 200 km of Moscow. In this time we did not spill a single drop of our fighters' blood. Now the moment has come when blood could be spilled. Understanding responsibility [for the chance] that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our columns around and going back to field camps as planned."
Ae o ai lenei tagata e faasuafa ia Yevgeny Prigozhin?
O Yevgeny Prigozhin na fanau i le 1961 i le taulaga i Rusia lea fo'i na fanau ai Vladimir Putin, le taulaga o St Petersburg, lea sa faaigoa muamua ia Leningrad.
Na amata le olaga o Progozhin i le gaoi ma le faomea, lea na muamua faasalaina ai i le falepuipui ae faato'a 18 tausaga lona matua.
Ina ua mae'a le 9 tausaga na saisaia ai i le falepuipui, na amata ai sana pisinisi fale'aiga, ma na o'o ina matua manuia ma mau'oloa ai ona o le fesoasoani lagolago a le peresitene Vladimir Putin ma le faigamalo i le Kremlin - o loo igoa masani poo lona nickname o le kuka a Putin, poo Putin's chef.
Na faaalia e Dr Malcolm Davis, o le Australian Strategic Policy Institute i Canberra, e iai nisi na talitonu na oo manatu o Yevgeny Prigozhin i le avea o ia ma peresitene o Rusia i le lumana'i.
"Look Prigozhin would love to be president of Russia. But I think that there are people around Putin in what's known as the siloviki, which are the security and intelligence elite - as well as the oligarchy, the wealthy business people, that see Prigozhin as a useful tool to use to strengthen their grip on power. And if ultimately Prigozhin's actions led to the downfall of Putin, they would have someone else in mind probably to step in from the shadows to take over as President. I don't see them letting someone like Prigozhin become the president of the of the Russian Federation."
O le osofa'iga o Ukraine e Rusia na maua ai le avanoa o Prigozhin e fa'aaoga le militari na ia faavaeina tuto'atasi le Wagner group.
O le Wagner Group na faamaopoopo mai fitafita litaea a le militari a Rusia, pagota faato'a sa'oloto mai falepuipui, ma fitafita faakonekarate mai isi atunu'u o le lalolagi.
Na muamua maua iai ripoti i se taua ma vega'au a Ukraine i le Donbas region i le 2014.
Na faaalia e Dr Davis o le tagata e suafa ia Yevgeny Prigozhin, o se tagata saua - ma o loo iai tuua'iga o le Wagner Group i soligatulafono o taua poo war crimes i atunuu o Aferika, Suria ma Ukraine.
"Prigozhin has a reputation as a thoroughly nasty character. His group of have been responsible for all sorts of war crimes in Africa and Syria, and now Ukraine."
E faitau masina o tau le Wagner group ma vaegaau a Ukraine i le vaega eleele le Bakhmut i le itu i Sasa'e o Ukraine, ma na tuua'ia ai e Prigozhin le Kremlin ma taitai o le vaegaau a rusia i le leai o se fesoasoani na latou mauaina i le taua.
"There are 25,000 of us and we are going to figure out why chaos is happening in the country. We will consider anyone who tries to resist a threat and quickly destroy them. We will destroy anyone who stands in our way. We are moving forward and will go until the end."
Peita'i na saunoa se tasi o taitai o le militari a Rusia, General Vladimir Alexeyev, o lafoga ma faatonuga a Prigozhin ua matua atagia ai lona taumafai e foua le pule ma le malo o loo taitaia e le peresitene Vladimir Putin.
"(Russian* then translated into English): "This is a stab in the back both for the country and the president. Only he has the right to appoint the highest military commander but you are trying to seize his power. This is a military coup."
Na saunoa le peresitene o Rusia, Vladimir Putin e leai seisi e faamalosia sana pule i le faigamalo i Rusia.
(Russian translated into English): "I shall repeat any internal mutiny is a serious threat to our state our nation. It is a blow to Russia, it is a blow to our people. Our actions to defend the state against the threat will be harsh. Those who consciously chose treason, blackmail and terrorism methods will be inevitably punished."
Na saunoa Dr Malcolm Davis o vesiga faapenei i le va o militari i Rusia, e iai le tulaga e ao ina faapopoleina ai le lalolagi, ona o Rusia se tasi o atunuu o loo umia a'upega niukilia.
"How does Western countries ensure that nuclear weapons don't fall into the wrong hands. It could require, for example, some sort of intervention on the ground to secure the control of nuclear forces, so they don't fall into the wrong hands. But the other scenario I think that that would be a concern, is it would certainly undermine Putin's authority. If he's facing potentially defeat in Ukraine at the same time he's facing internal insurrection or civil war - will he be tempted to use nuclear weapons? And I think that Western countries will be very focused on strengthening deterrence messages to Moscow to make sure that they understand the consequences of going over the nuclear threshold."
