enterprises of the #Russian military-industrial complex. In fact, #Lukashenko made all these promises repeatedly and also regularly did not fulfill them. Lukashenko continues to flatly refuse to take an active part in the "special military operation". 3/6
but this time #Putin did not particularly insist. The public trolling of Putin by #Lukashenko should be noted. As we have already reported, Lukashenko several times refused the Russian president's urgent invitations to visit #Russia to meet with him, citing... 4/6

#Putin: Well, we are all busy people, we have enough things to do at home, I understand." At this pace, Putin will soon beg #Lukashenko to come for tea with pies. 6/6

Over the weekend, #Putin underwent another medical examination. The recent therapy did not give the expected results, and a new one, based on the results of the examination, was prescribed and will begin on March 5th. 1/4
This can and most likely will seriously affect the plans and decisions of the president in the coming days. The deterioration in the state of health and the lack of opportunities for the president during therapy to actively participate in various events, as well as... 2/4

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! New friends of #Russian President #Putin, the #Taliban, do not allow him to prepare the message to the Federal Assembly calmly. The Taliban liked the idea of official recognition by the Russian leadership so much that they... 1/8
made the #Russian president an offer that would be hard to refuse. If the Russian leadership offered official recognition of the #Taliban government in #Afghanistan mainly in exchange for the supply of weapons, the counter-proposal is incomparably more practical. 2/8
The #Taliban demand official recognition, and in return, they are ready to give up their attempts to seize parts of the territory of #Tajikistan for some time. And this is despite the gigantic sums previously paid by #Russia to the Taliban, in fact, for... 3/8
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! #Russian President Vladimir #Putin was puzzled by the problems of loyalty of people from his circle and in power in general. Recently, a whole galaxy of people close to Putin (Kovalchuks, Rotenbergs, Potanin, Mishustin)...

#Putin appreciated the zeal and has started finding out how things are with the rest of the "close" and not very people. Reports on this topic have been coming to the president for the past few days, and it turned out that not everything is so simple.

Yesterday, during a meeting with the leadership of the security and military blocs, #Putin expressed extreme irritation over #Lukashenko's recent statements regarding how the CSTO member countries need to take a stance because literally "soon" "something" should begin. 1/5
According to #Putin, #Lukashenko himself is not going to participate in anything, and with such statements, he is pushing the CSTO to collapse. After the meeting, the president was immediately presented with two secret reports through the Security Council... 2/5

The enemies who, through the hands of "Ukrainian nationalist fascists", are trying to destroy "the #Russian people in the Donbas and South-Eastern #Ukraine." Again, the theme of the "unfair" division of territories after the collapse of the USSR is discussed... 2/7
and how the "originally #Russian" territories with "Russian people" were squandered and so on. Several times the call to rally, stand and win is spelled out, otherwise, "#Russia will not exist." Plus, traditionally, several threats to the use of nuclear weapons. 3/7
