Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Despite the impressive announcements and laudatory odes, the speech of #Russian President Vladimir #Putin at #Valdai, contrary to Peskov's assurances, will be forgotten today or tomorrow.
1/9

#Putin described his speech as "an opportunity to wag the tongue." The topic of "negotiations" run through the President's speech. Putin longs to have negotiations and end this phase of the war on terms he can sell as victory.
2/9

The minimum he agrees to is #Donbas and a corridor to #Crimea. By appealing to the "Washington bosses" who should give thumbs up to #Zelensky and force him to peace on the terms of the #Russian President, #Putin misses an important point.

Now, he is losing the war, and this proposal just looks stupid. Ahead for #Putin looms the prospect of losing control over part of not even newly annexed, but "primordial" #Russian territories.
4/9

Preparations for martial law in Moscow show the President understands these prospects. Praise to #Erdogan and #XiJinping in a speech will not have any effect. They both know their worth and especially that of #Putin, whose real price is rapidly approaching the trash level.

#Turkey and #China will be the main beneficiaries of the collapse of #Russia, to which Putin is leading the country by leaps and bounds. The speech at #Valdai precedes the CSTO meeting for which #Putin is preparing much more responsibly.
6/9

CSTO is on the verge of collapse. #Kazakhstan is determined to leave the organisation next year, while #Armenia and #Kyrgyzstan openly talk about the lack of sense in the existence of such an organisation. #Putin needs to prevent abrupt steps of the members.
7/9

He needs to prevent the collapse of the CSTO, at least until the new year. #Putin is losing traditional spheres of influence on the outer contours and is leading #Russia to defeat in a war with hundreds of thousands of victims and the loss of territories.
8/9

During the #Valdai speech, as an ardent champion of traditional Orthodox values, he should have kneeled down, repented and asked for forgiveness. But he intends to go to a "nuclear paradise" and wants to take everyone with him.
