Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Serious passions flared up around #Russian President Vladimir #Putin. The reason was the attack of the #UkraineArmy on the "site" in #Makiivka (the occupied part of the Donetsk region).

As a result of the attack, a large number of newly mobilized citizens of #Russia died. The President received the info about the "incident" in the report of the General Staff Headquarters eight hours later (at first, they did not dare to overshadow the holiday for #Putin,...

and then, after drinking the medicine, he fell asleep, and the doctors recommended not to disturb him). In the first report of the military, the number of dead and missing as a result of the strike was 88 people.

The Security Council's report, which came about an hour after the report from the military, indicated "at least 257 dead and missing". The last figure sharply strained #Putin, and he called a meeting with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs.

The meeting took place on the evening of January 1. During the meeting, General Staff representatives named the number of losses as a result of the strike of 105 people. Patrushev replied that, according to his information, this was at least 290 people.

#Putin ordered the leadership of the military bloc to provide detailed information about what happened and not hide the real scale of the losses. Yesterday, due to the rising information wave regarding the strike, the President was presented with reports from...

the Defense Ministry, General Staff, FSB, Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Health, Presidential Administration, Investigative Committee, and Security Council Secretary Patrushev. All reports had different (!!!) figures and different interpretations.

As a result, #Putin adopted Patrushev's version as a basis, which was close to the versions and loss figures of the FSB, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Health. In Patrushev's report, the "final" losses are 312 dead and missing and 157 wounded.

A list of names was attached. In the evening, at a meeting of the President with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs, which was held via video call, Patrushev accused the leadership of the military bloc of the "tragedy".

He demanded from #Putin personnel decisions and punishment for the perpetrators. Surovikin's name was named, among others. Patrushev and other representatives of the power bloc have long had claims against the military bloc.

The media resonance around the "incident" with the military leadership lying to the President, concealing actual losses and problems, gave Patrushev an excuse to openly accuse the military leadership. FSB Director supported Patrushev.

In fact, the President was given a detailed explanation that it was the military command of the North Military District that completely failed this operation. The main thing is that for the first time, the accusations were made by the security forces in a harsh form,...

in the presence of the President and, in fact, in the face of the military, and the proposals for reprisals against the guilty were announced almost in the form of an ultimatum.

#Putin took time to think about the situation but addressed the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff with several threats, using profanities.
The leadership of the security bloc does not want to be involved in the failures at the front.
14/16

They use a convenient excuse to blame the military and, indirectly, the President for everything. Who else is responsible for the military defeat, if not the supreme commander in chief?!
15/16

The leadership of the security bloc can, if desired, disrupt the next stage of mobilization and put an end to #Putin's military adventure. Will they be willing to do it? This is still an open question.
