Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin was informed about the first deliveries of military uniforms ordered in #Myanmar and #Vietnam. They are intended for those called up for the second wave of mobilization. 1/9
The President is going to launch the second wave in the second half of January. In total, winter and summer military uniforms for 600,000 people have been ordered in the countries of Southeast Asia. The deadline for completing the order is limited to March 15, 2023. 2/9
Also, the military ordered uniforms for about 300,000 more people in #Iran. Why "about"? Those who have already received military uniforms from Iran know that about a third of the total is rejects. 3/9
#Putin was informed that the newly delivered military uniform from the countries of Southeast Asia was of very poor quality and flammable. But the President considered the remarks not worthy of attention. 4/9
It is worth noting that #Lukashenko took a large order for tailoring uniforms in the Republic of #Belarus and, to date, has delivered about seven thousand sets of summer military uniforms. He promises the rest later but does not indicate the timing. 5/9
Yesterday, the President held consultations on the timing of the start of the second stage of mobilization and the closure of borders. The consultations will continue today. #Putin will make a decision over the weekend, as he informed the participants of the meetings. 6/9
Recall that #Putin previously agreed on January 9 for borders closing and January 16 for the start of mobilization activities.
Another event of interest is the discussion in Putin’s close circle of the "rudeness" of Yevgeny #Prigozhin. 7/9
In his address to the President, #Prigozhin familiarly calls him Volodya, as close friends do, and refers to "you" (familiar). A similar thing happened during Prigozhin's greetings to #Putin on the New Year over the speakerphone in the presence of several people. 8/9
#Putin did not besiege #Prigozhin. Embarrassed, he thanked Prigozhin and ended the conversation. At this rate, Prigozhin will soon be sharing a bed with the President's famous cohabitant, and Putin will have to be content with a couch in his office, if allowed, of course. 9/9

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...

#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.
