Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin had a very difficult day, which ended quite dramatically. Wednesday morning began for Putin with a depressing report on the state of the Russian economy.
1/15
The authors of the report forecast a worsening situation in the near future. The sanctions imposed on #Russia due to the invasion of #Ukraine have a heavy impact on the country's economy, and the effect of these sanctions is growing and intensifying over time.
2/15
According to the authors' forecasts, the main problems in the #Russian economy will come in late spring - early summer of next year, and it is impossible to avoid a negative scenario today.
3/15
It should be noted that the forecast was made without taking into account the possible announcement of general mobilization and imposition of martial law in the country. Vladimir #Putin has in it his plans, and the situation undoubtedly will only worsen the forecasts.
4/15
In the afternoon, #Putin was upset by the news from the front. Promises by the leadership of the military bloc to capture several settlements before the start of winter, including #Bakhmut (called Artemovsk in reports) in the #Donetsk region of #Ukraine, were not realized.
5/15
Moreover, yesterday, the leadership of the military bloc was not ready to guarantee the President a significant advance on any sector of the front before the New Year. #Putin was informed that the cold snap, predicted for early December in the #Luhansk region,...
6/15
could be used by the Armed Forces of #Ukraine for an offensive. In such a case, keeping territories in the northwest of the region would be very problematic.
In the evening, #Putin had a telephone conversation with the President of #Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
7/15
The conversation touched upon plans for the future and the development of joint projects. No agreements were reached as a result of the conversation. They agreed to negotiate.
Truly dramatic events for #Putin took place in the evening at his residence.
8/15
Going down the stairs, #Putin stumbled and fell on his buttocks. After that, he fell on his side and slid down a couple of steps. The incident took place in front of the President's bodyguards, who quickly reacted and rushed to help Putin.
9/15
Three security officers helped the President to get to the nearest sofa and called the doctors, who are on duty at the residence. Medics arrived within a few minutes but could not immediately examine the President. #Putin suffers from oncology of the gastrointestinal tract.
10/15
As a result of that disease, he experiences serious problems with digestion. As it turned out, the main blow fell on the coccyx as a result of the fall. It probably caused sharp pain, provoking involuntary defecation.
11/15
#Putin used to wear special waterproof underwear with an absorbent effect, but recently,he has been neglecting these precautions. As it turned out, in vain. The doctors escorted him to the bathroom, helped to clean up, and conducted an initial examination.
12/15
After a complete examination, a bruise of the coccyx and soft tissues was diagnosed. Nothing critical. The President's health was stable closer to the night.
13/15
He can move independently. Complaints about pain in the coccyx when sitting are the only thing that worries #Putin. At night, he took painkillers. In the near future, an investigation will be carried out into what provoked the fall of the President.
14/15
Even at home, he wears special shoes with anti-slip surfaces, and the stairs in the residence are considered "safe". As it turns out, all precautions are in vain when nerves go to hell.

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

#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.
