Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin had two telephone conversations with two leaders of conditionally "friendly" countries. Both yesterday's interlocutors of the Russian president are tall and were born in the same year.
1/11
#Putin spoke twice last week with both, but the reasons were different. On Sunday, the #Russian president congratulated #Turkish President Recep Tayyip #Erdogan on his birthday and had a short conversation, checking his mood and promising to be a reliable partner.
2/11
With Alexander #Lukashenko, #Putin discussed yesterday's incident at the Machulishchi military airfield near Minsk, as a result of which one of the #Russian military aircraft was damaged. Lukashenko tried to find out the reaction and plans of the Russian president.
3/11
But #Putin only scolded him for his passive position and refusal to participate in the "special military operation". According to the conversation, it turned out that Putin indirectly blamed #Lukashenko for the incident.
4/11
The President of #Russia once again strongly recommended that #Lukashenko think and make the "right" decision regarding participation in the war. According to information received by the Russian president, the plane received minor damage and can make a flight.
5/11
It is not clear yet how accurate the information that comes to the president is. It is possible that they simply do not want to upset #Putin greatly and give information about real damage in a dosed manner.
6/11
After the conversation between #Putin and #Lukashenko, the President of #Russia was informed that quite recently, the Belarusian leader took part in a meeting with the military leadership and representatives of the law enforcement agencies of the Republic of Belarus.
7/11
They discussed pressing issues. During the discussion, #Lukashenko expressed a progressive idea that the war is coming to an end and #Russia is unlikely to be able to win. According to Lukashenko, the defeat of Russia in the war on the territory of #Ukraine...
8/11
"will be a heavy burden on the shoulders of the Belarusians." He lamented the unceremonious use of the territory of the Republic of Belarus by the current #Russian leadership for the implementation of their military plans. When it came to Russian military aircraft, ...
9/11
#Lukashenko allegedly said very transparently: "How to make them [#Russian military aircraft] fly less here. Or better not fly at all." Then Lukashenko said that it was necessary to somehow get out of this "asshole" and suggested the interlocutors think about this issue.
10/11
#Putin was also told that the first reaction of the Belarusian leader to the incident with the #Russian military aircraft was very eloquent. They say that #Lukashenko was very happy but almost immediately pulled himself together but did not lose his good disposition.

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.
