Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! The matters of the #Russian President #Putin in the foreign policy space have not been working out lately. For several weeks, Putin has been asking to coordinate a phone conversation with the President of #China#XiJingping.
1/12
#Putin has been receiving exclusively negative responses. The #Chinese side sees no opportunity for meaningful dialogue and suggests asking for a phone conversation with President #XiJinping after the New Year.
2/12
The possibility of a theoretical visit of the #Chinese leader to #Russia is being considered in the fall of 2023. However, the Chinese side has set a number of conditions for the Russian colleagues under which such a prospect can be realized.
3/12
The main condition is the end of the #UkraineRussiaWar and a peace agreement. In relationship with #XiJingping, #Putin looks like a pathetic supplicant but by no means an equivalent center of influence in a multipolar world.
4/12
#Putin also has certain problems with "allies" in #Europe. Unlike the Chinese leader, #Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orban does not refuse to communicate with Putin, although he does his best to hide such contacts.
5/12
Online talks between #Putin and #Orban happen much, much more often than the official #Kremlin and #Budapest report. But not everything is smooth here either. Despite the short leash in the form of kompromat on the #Hungarian prime minister...
6/12
#Putin does not always manage to get complete obedience from #Orban. So, during the last phone conversation with Orban, Putin burst into shouting and threats, which were accompanied by foul language. As a result, relations have not deteriorated much.
7/12
However, the #Russian President still prefers to send messages to the #Hungarian prime minister through intermediaries.
Well, another "knife in the back" is thrust into #Putin's back by his "younger brother" Alexander #Lukashenko.
8/12
As reported to the President of #Russia, after the re-election of #XiJinping, #Lukashenko turned once again to the #Chinese leader with a request to guarantee the territorial integrity of the Republic of #Belarus, as Kazakhstan did.
9/12
In fact, #Lukashenko asks #XiJinping for protection from #Putin, which, of course, does not please the #Russian President. Putin recently asked to arrange a phone conversation with Lukashenko.
10/12
However, Lukashenko, apparently, decided that he was as tough as and refused the #Russian President, citing, however, a sharp deterioration in his health.
#Turkish President Recep Tayyip #Erdogan, in general, exclusively demands #Putin fulfill his desires.
11/12
At the same time, he absolutely does not inform the #Russian President of his intentions and decisions where his (#Erdogan's) interests intersect with Russian ones.
#Putin remains practically alone in the world political arena - the penultimate outcast, or maybe the last.

#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

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.
