#Putin was very annoyed by the news that the #Georgian authorities agreed with the demands of the protesters and removed the bill on "foreign agents" from the agenda. The President of #Russia considers even dialogue with the opposition to be a weakness. 1/4
And making concessions to protesters at street rallies with active dynamics and resistance to the forces of "law and order" is generally beyond #Putin's understanding. The president has been blaming the #Georgian authorities since morning and gave orders to... 2/4
recommend to "those bastards" (#Georgian leadership) not to release those detained at the protests, but on the contrary, to intensify the persecution, including criminal ones. In the afternoon, having learned that the Georgian authorities not only did not... 3/4
heed his recommendations but even acted contrary to them, promising to release all those detained at the protests, #Putin was completely upset. 4/4

Yesterday evening, #Putin held an urgent meeting via video call with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs. The reason for the urgent meeting was the message in the report to the president that, supposedly,... 1/7
#Israel's military operation against #Iran would begin in the near future. #Putin has recently provided "invaluable" assistance to Iran in promoting the development of a "nuclear program", thanks to which Iran has come close to obtaining nuclear weapons. 2/7
In return, #Russia received weapons, not in the volumes that #Putin expected, but still, it was a significant help in the war against #Ukraine. Now, given a possible #Israeli strike, #Iran's "nuclear program" and Tehran's very possibility of helping Russia with arms and... 3/7
#Putin has a different situation with #Chinese leader #XiJinping. Putin sends messages to the Chinese leadership: "either you, dear Xi Jinping and comrades, give us weapons to win the war, or we have no choice but to use nuclear weapons in the conflict with #Ukraine." 1/6
#China does not want a nuclear conflict in #Europe at all, but they cannot really help #Russia either. Also, they cannot oppose Russia, risking losing a huge and weakening neighbor from their sphere of interests, and, in the very near future, from their sphere of influence. 2/6
#XiJinping is trying to build a complex system of keeping #Chinese positions in contact with the West and, at the same time, get #Russia, like an overripe apple that has fallen to his feet, without allowing a nuclear conflict. 3/6
#Russian President Vladimir Putin uses different methods to achieve his goals. Sometimes, they are effective. Sometimes, they are not. In rare cases, these methods begin to live their own, separate and independent of their author lives. 1/7
So, the former (possibly soon future) #USA President Donald #Trump was captivated first by the illusions of Vladimir #Putin and now by his own illusions. Putin, through insinuations and with the help of intermediaries, quite simply, managed to convince Donald Trump... 2/7
back in 2016-17 that he became president solely due to interference in the #USA elections by #Russian special services on the personal order of the Russian president. #Trump did not believe in his own strength and a fair victory so much that... 3/7
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President #Putin was presented with several reports on the current situation in #Georgia, where the local parliament approved in the first reading a bill on "foreign agents", which caused a massive protest. 1/8
We have already talked about the attempted secret visit of the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, Kiriyenko, to #Georgia, about the poisoning of the former President of Georgia, #Saakashvili, with the assistance of the current Georgian authorities,... 2/8
with poison transferred by the Russian special services and on the personal instructions of the President of #Russia, and about the preparation of an assassination attempt on Prime Minister of #Georgia Irakli Garibashvili from Russian interested parties. 3/8
But this is not all #Putin's telephone entertainment for yesterday. Recently, the closest person to the #Russian president, judging by the number of contacts, is #Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. A telephone conversation with Raisi for Putin, although an ordinary event, is... 1/5
nevertheless important. So the #Russian president does not give up trying to get the promised deliveries of weapons from the president of #Iran, and above all, ballistic missiles and launchers for these missiles. 2/5
Despite all the previous unfulfilled or partially fulfilled promises and missed deadlines, Ebrahim Raisi continues to instill hope in #Putin for the speedy delivery of everything that the President of #Russia asks for. 3/5
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin had a telephone conversation with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The main topic of conversation was "strengthening trade and economic cooperation". 1/5
#Putin was trying to find ways to bypass the sanctions imposed by the West on #Russia. The Russian president is trying to persuade the leaders of the Central Asian countries to cooperate in this area. 2/5
Realizing all the risks, both Tokayev and the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, with whom #Putin had a similar telephone conversation yesterday, are in no hurry to fully agree with the proposals of the president of #Russia. 3/5
