#Russian President #Putin is preparing to meet #Turkish President #Erdogan in Sochi. The Russian President is counting on productive negotiations and hopes to get concessions from Erdogan in several areas while being ready to offer a lot in return. 1/8
Recently, #Putin has been extremely dissatisfied with the policy of the #Armenian leadership, who, in his opinion, taking advantage of the difficult situation for #Russia, is leaving its sphere of influence, drifting to the West. 2/9
#Putin has no time and is not interested in dealing with #Armenia. He sincerely hates Pashinyan (prime minister of Armenia), considering him an upstart and a misunderstanding in Armenian politics. 3/9
#Putin's attempts to remove Pashinyan from power with the help of intrigues only led to a loss of trust and reputational damage for Putin. Everything was done so clumsily and incompetently. Now Putin is ready to dump Armenia by offering it "on a silver platter" to Erdogan. 4/9
Plus, #Putin is ready to offer an alliance to #Erdogan to oust #China's influence from Central Asia. Putin considers #Turkey a lesser evil in the region compared to China and is ready to give up positions in favor of Erdogan under certain conditions. 5/9
This is not all that the President of #Russia is going to offer at the meeting with the President of #Turkey, but it will be in the main package. 6/9
From #Erdogan, #Putin wants a coordinated position on pressure on the Ukrainian leadership, assistance in circumventing sanctions, a dissenting opinion in #NATO, a refusal to provide weapons to #Ukraine, and much more. 7/9
Based on the traditions of #Putin’s communication with #Erdogan, the #Turkish president will take everything that Putin offers and even more, and in return, he will agree to a minimum of concessions, of which he will do nothing. 8/9
But the President of #Russia has no other way out and no other options but to be content with what #Erdogan promises and deplore the hopelessness. Erdogan is almost the only person #Putin can rely on at all, but this is in vain. 9/8

Russian President #Putin was very angry and extremely annoyed by the news that the "special operation to force the resignation of #Draghi's #Italian government and replace it with one loyal to #Russia" approved by him is on the verge of failure. lastampa.it/politica/2022/…
1/8
The details of both the preparation and conduct of the operation to break up the ruling #Draghi's coalition in #Italy will be made public soon. 2/8
Just the other day, #Putin was presented with a report on how wonderfully and fruitfully the #Russian special services are working with agents in the leadership of a number of #European countries,... 3/8
The so-called "special military operation" is in full swing, and success in it is far from being predetermined for the Russian troops. Defeat in the war for the President of #Russia will mean the end of his power and the regime as a whole. 1/4
#Putin himself and his entourage are aware of the possibility of a sharp change in mood in the country and, not excluding a coup or revolution, if you like, are preparing plans for evacuation from #Russia. And here an interesting question arises: 2/4
"Will #Turkey let the planes with #Putin, his family and those who will join fly to #Syria?" In principle, it is beneficial for #Iran and Turkey to keep the Russian president in exile in reserve, using him, depending on the situation, as a lever or as a bargaining chip. 3/4
Russian President #Putin gave a second wind to the Great Transit of Power in the country. The contours of the transit are emerging quite clearly, and many decisions approved by the President are waiting in the wings.
1/14
The beneficiaries of this process are undoubtedly the close circle of the President, while #Putin will be the central figure in the transition until death, regardless of what post he will hold and whether he will hold one at all.
2/14
The very purpose of launching transit is to preserve #Putin's system before and after the death of the President.
Given upcoming events, many questions arise as to who in power can maintain and improve their positions and who can be forgotten or even worse.

Recently, an attempt on the life of the Secretary of the Security Council of the #Russian Federation, Nikolai #Patrushev was made. Information about both the assassination attempt itself and the investigation into this assassination attempt is kept in strict secrecy. 1/8
It is known that Nikolai #Patrushev felt unwell in the evening after work, almost immediately after he went home. Security worked quickly, immediately calling a team of doctors to him. 2/8
After the examination, the medical workers who arrived said that urgent hospitalization was necessary, and #Patrushev was taken by the Federal Protective Service (FSO) officers in their transport, accompanied by medical workers, to the medical unit that serves the president. 3/8
On July 17, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER on flight #MH17 from #Amsterdam to #KualaLumpur was shot down over #Ukraine. There is a competent technical analysis of the events surrounding the crash that strip away the fakes around the technical part of the crash.
1/15
The analysis was conducted by Mark Solonin on his YouTube channel, disproving almost all the main fabrications about the technical part of the crime. His three videos take up over four hours of airtime, but it's worth spending that time if you want to know the truth.
2/15
On the delivery of the Buk surface-to-air missile (SAM) system to the launch site, there was also a remarkable investigation by both the Joint Investigation Team (JIT ) and several teams of investigative journalists.
