Dear subscribers and guests of the channel!
On Friday, November 11 and Saturday, November 12, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin had two significant and important telephone conversations.
1/16
On November 11, Putin had a telephone conversation with the President of the Central African Republic (CAR), Faustin-Archange Touadéra. We have already talked about the fact that on the CAR's territory, under the protection of #Prigozhin's PMC, #Putin stores money and gold.
2/16
The money and gold are stored in underground, specially equipped warehouses. Today, it is a total of 14.8 billion USD. Our channel has several materials on this topic, including the murder of #Russian journalists Dzhemal, Rastorguev, and Radchenko at the end of July 2018.
3/16
The murder of journalists was carried out by PMC fighters under the direct supervision of #Prigozhin and with the knowledge and permission of #Russian President Vladimir #Putin.
4/16
#Prigozhin was informed that journalists were looking for confirmation of information about the storage facilities for money and valuables that belong to #Putin. This became the reason for their murder.
5/16
On Friday, while talking with Touadéra, #Putin clarified the state of affairs in the CAR, ascertained the loyalty of the President, and hinted at his possible visit in the near future.
6/16
We have already reported that #Putin considers the CAR as one of two options for evacuation from #Russia in an emergency situation for himself and his loved ones. Now, Putin considers the possibility of evacuation realistic.
7/16
So, it is important for him to understand that there are options, and they are indeed quite feasible. #Putin had his second landmark telephone conversation on Saturday with #Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
8/16
The conversation took place amid, to put it mildly, a not very successful visit of Secretary of the #Russian Security Council, Nikolai #Patrushev, to #Tehran.
9/16
#Patrushev failed to agree with the #Iranian leadership on urgent deliveries of ballistic missiles with launchers and drones in the near future and in the required quantities.
The Iranian leadership, having promised to help, is in no hurry to do so.
10/16
The delivery of drones was promised before the New Year but in the amount of about 25% of the volumes requested by the #Russian leadership. The delivery of ballistic missiles before the New Year is regarded by #Iran as a difficult task.
11/16
#Patrushev received promises that half of the requested volumes will be supplied only in the spring of next year. This state of affairs did not suit #Putin, and he decided to rush the President of #Iran personally.
12/16
As a result, Ebrahim Raisi promised to hurry up with the fulfillment of the #Russian order, but that was all. No specifics were mentioned in the conversation, although #Putin actually promised technology and specialists to create nuclear weapons in plain text.
13/16
#Putin is in a zugzwang position, where each next move leads to a worsening of the situation. There are no weapons to achieve the set goals. Moreover, there are no weapons or other means to hold the occupied territories.
14/16
(Rogozin's statement about the secret Wunderwaffe that will appear on the battlefield in a few months is nonsense in favor of the intellectually poor). Speaking of the "peace offer" received by #Putin personally the other day...
15/16
he is only ready to discuss it and try to impose his conditions by demonstrating strength. But those who made the offer are well aware of the strength and capabilities of the #Russian President.
15/16
They can only tighten the conditions if #Putin tries to raise the level of escalation by using "all means". Putin has definitely lost. Now, we need to understand by what score.

Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday had a telephone conversation with Alexander Lukashenka. In the morning, the president was informed that more than twenty drones were deployed in... 1/6
the night attack on the airfield in #Pskov. Allegedly, they were launched from the territory of #Ukraine, freely crossing the airspace of the Republic of #Belarus. This really angered #Putin, and he demanded to connect him with #Lukashenka. 2/6
During the telephone conversation, #Putin began to express claims and accuse #Lukashenka almost of collusion with the Ukrainian side but encountered a storm of indignation from Lukashenka. Lukashenko emotionally stated that Putin had been deceived,... 3/6
#Prigozhin Alive: #Putin Holds Online Talk with 'Deceased' PMC #Wagner Boss
Yesterday morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin complained of feeling unwell, and doctors were urgently called to him. After the examination and the medication, he felt a little better. 1/6
But in the first half of the day, he refused to participate in a meeting and did not accept reports. Late in the evening, the president was informed about the "special operation" to bury "#Prigozhin" and Prigozhin's deputy in the PMC #Wagner Chekalov. 2/6
The president was informed that everything went according to the secret plan approved in the morning, and there were no problems with its implementation. #Putin asked about the details and was pleased with what he heard. Immediately after the report, the president... 3/6
Grim Humor and Serious Choices: #Putin's Weekend Consultations
Over the weekend, Putin held an online meeting with the military bloc and had several consultations with the security bloc. During communication with the military, Putin was briefed on the situation at the front. 1/5
They said that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had bogged down, and there was nothing to worry about. After listening to the report, the president asked only one, apparently, rhetorical question: "Why the hell are you f**king my brains?" 2/5
And without receiving any intelligible answer, he closed the meeting. The leadership of the security bloc held consultations with the president on the topic of "the funeral of the leadership of PMC #Wagner." But on Sunday evening, #Putin did not give the go-ahead to... 3/5
Russian President Vladimir Putin held an online meeting with permanent members of the Security Council of Russia. Recently, Putin rarely personally took part in official events, but this time, it was necessary to demonstrate... 1/6
that he was alive and capable. There is practically no information about this meeting in the official #Kremlin resources, and the video and photos are so small that you can’t really see anything on them. Nevertheless, the president was prepared for this event for... 2/6
more than three hours. Washing, combing, putting on make-up, dressing and putting on shoes for #Putin takes more and more time. The president feels unwell, and the medicines help little, and it is necessary to give him a short rest during all the preparatory procedures. 3/6
"Death" of #Prigozhin Distracted People From Important Events
The information fuss around the destroyed aircraft with the Wagner leadership diverted attention from several events. Nevertheless, these are important for understanding the overall picture of what is happening. 1/5
The "death" of Yevgeny #Prigozhin became news number one and successfully ousted the topic of #Putin's double blunders from the information space. This allowed the understudy to recover and continue to portray Putin, taking part in numerous meetings and events. 2/5
The double managed to meet and bless the work and deeds of the acting leader of the "Luhansk People's Republic", Pasechnik, the acting leader of the Zaporizhzhia region, Balitsky, the acting leader of the Kherson region, Saldo, and the acting leader of... 3/5
In an interesting way, the preparatory stage for the once long-awaited transit begins. The destruction of the aircraft in which Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry #Utkin were by the Russian air defence system over the territory of...
1/12
#Russia puts an end to the case of #Prigozhin's rebellion and the existence of the #Wagner PMC. Under the leadership of the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia, #Patrushev, an operation to destroy Prigozhin and the entire leadership of the Wagner was developed.
2/12
The liquidation of #Prigozhin and #Utkin is the main but not the final stage of this operation. According to the plan, all the commanders of the #Wagner PMC who supported the rebellion should be destroyed. We already talked about this almost immediately after the rebellion.
