Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Tanned, rested and sober former #Russian President Dmitry #Medvedev visited #China, where he met with the head of the Chinese state #XiJinping and gave him a "message" from the current President of #Russia Vladimir #Putin.
1/10
#Medvedev's visit to #China was not a "successor of the Russian President" type of show. Medvedev acted as a "postman". That's all. #XiJinping demanded from #Putin a detailed plan with dates.
2/10
#Putin had to write how and when he would end the war. Only with such written explanations or promises, if you like, the leader of #China would be ready to agree to a telephone conversation with Putin and discuss the possibility of a visit to #Russia next year.
3/10
How convincing the letter of the #Russian President to #XiJinping was will be clear from whether the leaders of the two countries will have telephone conversations in the near future. In general, sending #Medvedev to a meeting with Xi Jinping was risky and reckless.
4/10
But one must know #Putin and understand that by sending Medvedev's court clown to deliver a letter, he responded to the humiliating demand to provide written explanations about the plans to end the war. Putin humiliated #XiJinping in response.
5/10
Last night, after a meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, #Putin held an operational meeting via video call with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs.
6/10
They discussed, among other things, the topic of increasing the term of conscript service in #Russia. The President spoke in favor of a quick solution. #Putin told the meeting that he had approved plans to increase the conscript service to two years, starting in fall 2023.
7/10
The President is going to announce the change in February of next year. #Putin forbade until January 8 to raise the topics of mobilization and lengthening the conscription service in the information space.
8/10
#Putin argued that the people should be allowed to return to the country safely after the holidays.
There is no point in discussing the expanded meeting of the Collegium of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which Putin chaired yesterday.
9/10
FSB director Alexander Bortnikov and Security Council secretary Nikolai Patrushev, peacefully dozing during the leader's speech, are vivid confirmations of the futility of the event.
