Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! #Russian President Vladimir #Putin, in his own manner, "formalized" the rejection of the peace offer he received. On November 11, we reported...
1/12
that it would be precisely the next massive missile attack on #Ukraine's energy infrastructure that would mean #Putin's rejection of proposals to move to a peaceful settlement of the war in Ukraine on terms that the #Kremlin considered unacceptable.
#Putin also rejected an ultimatum that was put forward in parallel with the "peace offer." Now, the most influential Western "partners" will insist on the immediate transfer of #Crimea to #Ukraine with no delays and no compromises.
3/12
On Monday, #Putin, holding a meeting via video call with the leadership of the security and military blocs, spoke unambiguously in the direction of escalation. Moreover, he stated:
4/12
"The operation is limited to the territory of #Ukraine, and this is the problem. Everything stagnates and stinks there. It is necessary to expand the scope." Then #Putin uttered a phrase that surprised all the participants of the meeting:
5/12
"It's time to shake #NATO! It's time to shake NATO!" The President expressed his thoughts, supporting this idea with arguments and suggested using "blanks", meaning a number of operations that were developed and prepared for implementation, but postponed indefinitely.
6/12
According to #Putin, two weeks ago, he personally instructed the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the #RussianArmy, the head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian army (GRU), Igor Kostyukov, to start...

implementing several of those operations on the territory of third countries. #Putin said that he thought "the allies should be shaken first", pointing to #Turkey and #Hungary and "smoothly move to #Poland, #Estonia, #Lithuania, and #Latvia."
8/12
The President noted the confidence in the absence of a military response from #NATO and considered such tactics effective, at least to reduce the supply of weapons to #Ukraine. #Putin summed it up with the words:
9/12
"Without this, we cannot survive. We must raise the stakes, demonstrating a willingness to go all the way until they give up." This caused surprise, and several meeting participants expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that they had not been aware of these plans.
10/12
So, already at the end of the discussion, while remaining online, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, #Patrushev, directly reproached the President for the fact that there had been no secrets of this kind from him before. #Putin replied, "Times are changing."
11/12
#Putin raises the stakes to the limit without having a single winning combination in his hands, but one bluff will not get him far and sooner rather than later, he will lose everything.

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin held a meeting with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs. At the meeting, both urgent issues and plans for the near future were discussed. 1/7
As for the expansion of the territories where martial law will be declared after the New Year, everything on that matter is according to the previously approved plan. The only point that is still under discussion is at what point to declare martial law in Moscow. 2/7
The situation with mobilization is even more interesting. The second wave, or, if you will, the continuation of partial mobilization, can be smoothly developed into mobilization simultaneously with the declaration of martial law in Moscow in the second half of Jan-Feb. 3/7
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! The incident with a missile hitting #Poland on Tuesday almost became a prologue to the seizure of power in #Russia. As soon as information about the incident became available to the leadership of the security bloc...

of the prevailing circumstances. At that time, they believed that it was a #Russian missile. Knowing #Putin's penchant for raising the stakes through escalation and #RussianArmy's ability "to miss a couple of tens of kilometers at the wrong time"...

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! #Russian President Vladimir #Putin uses #Prigozhin as an antagonist to the security forces. Putin quite skillfully builds Prigozhin into a system of checks and balances on an equal footing with Ramzan #Kadyrov. 1/6
Thus, #Prigozhin is given a certain freedom of expression and action. But the system is shattered, and Prigozhin has decided that he himself determines the scope of his freedoms. 2/6
#Putin believes that he guarantees freedom and, most importantly, life to the leader of Chechnya and the head of the PMC. The security forces are now extremely dissatisfied because, being built into the framework of the system, they do not have the degree of freedom... 3/6
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergei Naryshkin, held talks with Director of the #USA Central Intelligence Agency (#CIA), William Burns. 1/9

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! In the morning report, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin was presented with a printout of a telephone conversation between Alexander Bastrykin, Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee, and Yevgeny #Prigozhin. 1/4
The call took place at the initiative of Bastrykin. He did not try to find out the circumstances of the death of the former convict and #Wagner fighter, Yevgeny Nuzhin, who was recently executed. 2/4
Bastrykin wanted to know the circumstances under which the recording of the execution leaked to the info space and caused a serious resonance. #Prigozhin said only a couple of phrases in a telephone conversation. 3/4
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.
