Dear subscribers and guests of the channel!
Yesterday, #Russian president Vladimir #Putin held two meetings via video call. The first one was with representatives of the leadership of the security bloc. The second one was with the leadership of the military bloc.
1/11
At the meeting with representatives of the security bloc, they discussed the state of affairs in the country as a whole and in the "new territories" in particular. The question was raised about the movement of refugee flows from new territories to #Russia...
2/11
in the event of an effective counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine. #Putin very reluctantly joined the discussion of this topic. It was decided to send almost all new refugees from the territory of Ukraine to the sparsely populated regions of Siberia.
3/11
Also, they discussed the increase in the level of crime in the whole country and in problematic regions in particular.
At the meeting with representatives of the leadership of the military bloc, the president was informed about the preparations for the offensive..
4/11
in several sectors of the front, about the state of affairs and prospects for the development of events at the front, in the light of new information about the supply of Western weapons to #Ukraine.
5/11
Valery #Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the #RussianArmy, explained to #Putin the urgent need for a 2nd stage of mobilization if the president expects to launch an offensive in several directions in February-March. #Putin replied that "everything will be on time."
6/11
Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of #Russia, took part in the meetings, after which they had a confidential conversation for about twenty minutes. Judging by #Putin's mood, the conversation with Patrushev was not a pleasant one.
7/11
Patrushev insists that, as soon as possible, before martial law is declared, #Putin should rotate the government with Dmitry Patrushev moving to the post of prime minister. The Secretary of the Security Council is worried that, with a bigger escalation at the front,...
8/11
#Putin will declare martial law and thus fix the current status quo. That can eliminate all of Patrushev's hopes for a legitimate seizure of power. To all appearances, the president and the secretary of the Security Council fell out on this issue yesterday.
9/11
Vladimir #Putin's lack of determination in peacetime allowed problems to resolve themselves by letting things go, but in wartime, this only exacerbates them and leads to collapse, creating deeper crises.
10/11
The elites are still, for the most part, in a daze, but only those who first begin to act against #Putin have a chance to survive in modern realities.

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.
