#Russian President Vladimir Putin felt worse yesterday than the day before. This affected his mood and the outcome of negotiations with #Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
1/13
If on Monday #Putin mostly spoke with Xi Jinping, and the Chinese comrade listened, then yesterday there was a substantive conversation. Putin agreed to all, without exception, proposals of the Chinese leader in the economic and financial sectors and...

supported all initiatives in energy generation and energy resources. Everything that Vladimir #Putin agreed to is really beneficial to #China and extremely doubtful in terms of benefits for #Russia.
3/13
What the president of a country at war will not do for the sake of support in the military sphere. When they began to discuss the "#Ukrainian" issue, their visions diverged. #XiJinping tried to persuade #Putin to make concessions in the context of #Chinese peace initiatives.
4/13
The #Russian president stubbornly asked for help to improve the situation at the front, assuring that he could win the war and bring victory over the West to the altar of Russian-Chinese friendship. Chairman #XiJinping promised to consider possible options and...
5/13
promised to help with intelligence and goods necessary for the #Russian military-industrial complex. Other issues will be resolved over time if mutual understanding is reached. #Putin quickly got tired yesterday, and his courage to promote his own interests began to fade.
6/13
#Putin went out with his #Chinese colleague with a statement to the press practically out of inertia. The president read the statement in a weak, rattling, tired voice, already traditionally coughing and swallowing words.
7/13
It is worth noting that #Putin does not understand his #Chinese counterpart well and incorrectly assesses his desires and intentions. So, yesterday, the president in vain sent Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev into a short-term exile, worrying about...
8/13
possible contacts with #Chinese comrades and worrying that #XiJinping could ask for either communication or the presence of Patrushev in some format. #Putin is jealous in no other way. But, yesterday, Xi Jinping was not interested in the secretary of the Security Council.
9/13
He had already talked with Patrushev and formed an opinion, but the meeting with Mishustin, #Russia's PM, was important for him, and he got it. The #Chinese leader is well aware of the state of health of the President of Russia, and now...
10/13
having received promises and prospects in the economic, financial and other spheres, he is confident not only in #Putin, but also in both real successors: Dmitry Patrushev, behind whom is...
11/13
Nikolai Patrushev with the security forces ( State Committee on the State of Emergency 2.0), and in Mishustin, who, in the event of #Putin's death, would become, in fact, the first person in #Russia and has every chance of...
12/13
becoming a successor, being completely in the legal field. As a result, the visit to Moscow brought unequivocal benefits and solutions of some issues for #XiJinping, and still unclear prospects for #Putin.

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.
