So, less than 1% of this category remains alive and without significant injuries after six months of fighting as part of PMCs. About 14% drop out after severe injuries, and most of them remain disabled. The remaining 85% of the former prisoners in the squad die,... 4/7

the president the same result. #Putin frankly likes that, in this way, he cleans Russia from criminals. We have repeatedly said that Putin does not like "multi-move combinations", this is too complicated and incomprehensible for him, but solving two problems with... 6/7
one action is what really impresses him. Solving problems at the front and, at the same time, cleaning #Russia from criminals, this is a combo he likes. But recently at the front, there is not much sense from prisoners. #Putin closed the meeting in a traditionally bad mood. 7/7

Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting via video link with the leadership of the security and military blocs. The president summed up the disappointing results of negotiations with #Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

According to #Putin, one should not hope for arms supplies from #China in the near future. Putin agrees with the opinion of experts at the Security Council of #Russia, who are aware of how the negotiations went and assume that China will...

take a wait-and-see attitude until the end of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine or until it becomes clear how the announced counteroffensive will end. #China does not want to be associated with the losing side.

#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.

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...

#Russian President Vladimir #Putin is concerned about the possible protest dynamics that could engulf the country in the near future. At least, this is how he substantiates the demands for intensifying the fight against "enemies" within the system. 1/4
At a recent meeting with the leadership of the security bloc, #Putin expressed dissatisfaction with the volume and pace of the fight against manifestations of "subversive activities" of the West to destabilize the situation in #Russia. 2/4
#Putin demanded to show results to eradicate pockets of dissent and manifestations of a disloyal position towards the authorities. The President of #Russia, provoking protests in Georgia, manipulating the Georgian leadership, inciting protests in Moldova, and... 3/4

hopes that negotiations with the #Chinese leader will end up saving him and his (Putin's) regime. On the other hand, #Putin categorically does not like to humiliate himself and beg. Over the many years of being at the pinnacle of power in #Russia, Putin has become...

accustomed to other people being humiliated in front of him and begging him. In the situation with #XiJinping, the president of #Russia has to act as a petitioner. It is a mistake to think that Putin respects, appreciates or loves Xi Jinping.

The information from the #Kremlin's resources that Vladimir #Putin visited Crimea and #Mariupol is NOT true. In #Crimea, it was the double of the president with a short visit and solely for the sake of a video photo session. 1/7
#Putin himself was not even around, so the "visit" came out somewhat crumpled and indistinct. Without the presence of the president in the immediate vicinity, the double is forbidden to have meaningful conversations and hold long meetings, fearing... 2/7
embarrassment or other "reservations" of the double. The same applies to the visit to #Mariupol. The double was filmed in the material, did not talk much and did not stay anywhere for a long time. The "spontaneous" rides of "#Putin" around Mariupol at the steering wheel,... 3/7
The day before yesterday's high spirits of #Russian President #Putin, associated with the #USA reaction to the destruction of an American #MQ9Reaper over the Black Sea, migrated to yesterday. If the day before yesterday, the president did not make a clear decision about...

who would participate in the annual congress of the #Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, he himself or a double, then yesterday morning, being in a good mood, #Putin decided to take part in the event personally. Doctors advised the president to refrain from...
