Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Tanned, rested and sober former #Russian President Dmitry #Medvedev visited #China, where he met with the head of the Chinese state #XiJinping and gave him a "message" from the current President of #Russia Vladimir #Putin.
1/10
#Medvedev's visit to #China was not a "successor of the Russian President" type of show. Medvedev acted as a "postman". That's all. #XiJinping demanded from #Putin a detailed plan with dates.
2/10
#Putin had to write how and when he would end the war. Only with such written explanations or promises, if you like, the leader of #China would be ready to agree to a telephone conversation with Putin and discuss the possibility of a visit to #Russia next year.
3/10
How convincing the letter of the #Russian President to #XiJinping was will be clear from whether the leaders of the two countries will have telephone conversations in the near future. In general, sending #Medvedev to a meeting with Xi Jinping was risky and reckless.
4/10
But one must know #Putin and understand that by sending Medvedev's court clown to deliver a letter, he responded to the humiliating demand to provide written explanations about the plans to end the war. Putin humiliated #XiJinping in response.
5/10
Last night, after a meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, #Putin held an operational meeting via video call with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs.
6/10
They discussed, among other things, the topic of increasing the term of conscript service in #Russia. The President spoke in favor of a quick solution. #Putin told the meeting that he had approved plans to increase the conscript service to two years, starting in fall 2023.
7/10
The President is going to announce the change in February of next year. #Putin forbade until January 8 to raise the topics of mobilization and lengthening the conscription service in the information space.
8/10
#Putin argued that the people should be allowed to return to the country safely after the holidays.
There is no point in discussing the expanded meeting of the Collegium of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which Putin chaired yesterday.
9/10
FSB director Alexander Bortnikov and Security Council secretary Nikolai Patrushev, peacefully dozing during the leader's speech, are vivid confirmations of the futility of the event.

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.
