Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday's message of #Russian President Vladimir #Putin to the Federal Assembly disappointed many people around the head of state.

The security elites, led by the Secretary of the Security Council of the #Russian Federation, Nikolai #Patrushev, were disappointed by the absence of prospects for launching power transit. #Putin not only did not initiate the transit but also...

in his speech, made it clear that he would not leave the presidential post to the end, whatever that end might be. Indirect praise of the Minister of Agriculture of #Russia, Dmitry Patrushev, in the message was perceived by the Secretary of the Security Council as a mockery.

In fact, it was a recognition of merit, weakly comforting, but recognition. In the circle of close people, after the president's speech, Nikolai #Patrushev's first phrase was: "Well, the die is cast."

The quarrel between the president and the Secretary of the Security Council is reaching a new level. Disappointment with the presidential message among the leadership of the security bloc was strengthened by US President Joseph #Biden.

Speaking in #Poland, #Biden promised a fair trial for those responsible for starting the war and war criminals. Biden's promise was quite direct and specific, in contrast to the more than an hour and a half "smearing of snot" by the President of #Russia.

The financial and economic blocs are also disappointed and will have to look for opportunities to fulfill the unrealistic promises of the president. Part of the presidential speech about unprecedented successes and the rise of the #Russian economy is complete nonsense.

The promises of dedicating funds and other "gifts" to all and sundry are a blow to the Minister of Finance and the head of the Central Bank. #Putin lacked only to say: "There is no money, but you share!"

The message was rewritten amid a new phase of the #Putin's treatment and ended up being a neutral and gray set of words, mostly about nothing. Putin is not ready for drastic decisions, given that, soon, he may be unable to adequately and timely respond to challenges.

Given the approaching new course of therapy, which, according to the plan, should begin on March 5, and thus the inability to fully manage the "special military operation" at that time, the question arose of continuing the offensive at the front.
10/13

#Putin is holding consultations with the leadership of the military bloc on a possible curtailment of the offensive by March 5 and going on the defensive at current positions. The president did not make a decision, and so far, everything is at the stage of discussion.
11/13

Besides, #Putin has been actively discussing lately is the possibility of giving Ramzan #Kadyrov control of PMCs at the front. This topic causes active resistance from a part of the security bloc, but Putin, a big fan of checks and balances, is inclined to such a solution.

The only moment that pleased and amused the president's entourage was when, during the message, Volodin twice, either by accident or on purpose, put his hand on Dmitry #Medvedev's leg. Everything else was boring.
