Dear subscribers and guests of the channel!
Long-distance relationships are an excellent test of such a strong feeling as love, even if it is brotherly love. For Alexander #Lukashenko, who went on a foreign tour, love for his "elder brother" not only cooled down...
1/11
but seemed to have vanished as he moved away from the president of #Russia, Vladimir #Putin. Putin conveyed to #Lukashenko the demand to come for a bow in the near future, or rather, to appear in person for consultations on pressing issues and to explain...
2/11
the disagreements that have arisen in the already agreed and approved plans. #Lukashenko at first hesitated to answer, referring to being busy. Then, he refused both the personal request of the #Russian president to free Sofya Sapega and the invitation to the "carpet".
3/11
Regarding Sapega, #Lukashenko conveyed the meaningful "he will understand" and explained the refusal to come to visit with a sharp deterioration in his health. #Putin was extremely dissatisfied with Lukashenko's double refusal.
4/11
Once again, in obscene form, he promised big troubles for #Lukashenko, but this is a common thing, and no one in the circle of the president of #Russia takes such threats against Lukashenko seriously.
5/11
#Putin was reported that #Lukashenko is regularly provided with video recordings of how imprisoned female opposition representatives in Belarus, including Sapega, spend their time. The Belarusian dictator especially likes records of interrogations and full body searches.
6/11
#Putin is sympathetic to such things. The perverted tradition of regularly observing imprisoned political opponents was laid down by former Ukrainian president Yanukovych. Yanukovych had access to images from the cameras in the premises where Yulia Tymoshenko was held.
7/11
He quite often invited loved ones to see what the former prime minister was doing. But Yanukovych is an outright idiot, and his actions only confirm his reputation. #Putin, although not the smartest, is still not a complete idiot.
8/11
Yet, he took over a similar initiative from Yanukovych and is happy to look at such records not only with imprisoned top oppositionists in #Russia (exclusively men) but also with Mikheil #Saakashvili, who is under arrest in #Georgia.
9/11
It is known for sure that the current leadership of #Georgia transmits such records through informal channels to the #Russian side.
10/11
It is scary to think what could happen if #Putin's plans to unite #Russia, #Ukraine and #Belarus into a Union State headed by Putin as president, Yanukovych as prime minister and Lukashenko as chairman of parliament were implemented.

Tense Phone Call: #Putin and #Lukashenka Clash Over #Pskov Drone Attack
Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday had a telephone conversation with Alexander Lukashenka. In the morning, the president was informed that more than twenty drones were deployed in... 1/6
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.
