The second important event for the president was a meeting with Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu. #Putin hoped to hear specifics from the Chinese defense minister about when and how much weapons and ammunition Russia would receive from China. 1/5
But Li Shangfu did not come to please #Putin, but only to clarify what and how much is required, how and when they will be applied, and what results will be achieved in this case. To date, #China not only has not given Putin the necessary weapons but also... 2/5
has not yet provided any specifics regarding the possible supply of even the drones, communications, and equipment previously agreed upon between #XiJinping and #Putin. The Chinese Defense Minister has arrived for a courtesy visit, nothing more. 3/5
But #Putin, despite his disappointment, is forced to fawn and treat with honor and respect the man who came to him to openly build the policy of his suzerain state, which considers #Russia its vassal. Putin personally, on his own initiative and on his own stupidity,... 4/5
brought and laid #Russia at the feet of #China. The gift, of course, is generous, but the Chinese comrades do not intend to give anything in return. Maybe a label for reigning, and even that in words, perhaps. 5/5

A man resembling the President of #Russia continues to travel through the occupied territories of Ukraine. The recent visits by the double to Crimea and Mariupol pleased Putin & his entourage so much that it was decided to continue such events. 1/4
This time, the understudy flew in, just like in a children's song, like a magician in a blue helicopter, visited the headquarters of the group of troops in the Kherson direction, and even received reports from the generals. 2/4
At the same time, the worst and oldest car was chosen for the movement of the presidential understudy. The car, as part of a small column, traveled around the endless fields of the Kherson region. It is necessary to convince the #Russians that... 3/4
The "meeting" of #Russian President Vladimir Putin with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is, of course, a circus for the layman. They wanted to create a beautiful picture of how the president receives a report and communicates with... 1/5
the failed brave "marshal of victory", and at the same time, emphasize that everything is stable in the leadership of the military bloc, everything is going according to plan, and Shoigu is yet again in favor. Efforts turned out in vain. 2/5
Despite the strong handshake of the half-corpse with the half-marshal and Shoigu reading report with glasses from a piece of paper, it is already clear to everyone that at the front with the results everything is very weak, and it will be even worse. 3/5
A man who looks like #Russian President Vladimir #Putin congratulated Orthodox Christians and Russians on the Bright Sunday of Christ. The double appeared at the Easter service, stood next to Sergei Sobyanin and even watched what was happening with some interest. 1/6
With the appearance of the double again, they were a little too smart. Trying to bring the puffy face of the main double to the haggard state of the presidential physiognomy, they again failed. Now the face of the double is thinner than the original. 2/6
When the understudy smiled in the temple, at the service, excessive thinness was striking and spoiled the overall impression, so they tried to shoot from afar and a little from below. The president at this time was busy with more important matters. 3/6
The main topic of the meeting was the discussion of the forecast and intelligence reports on the start dates of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine. It is worth noting that the meeting was held via video call and, in addition to #Putin,... 1/8
five more people took part, all trusted persons who can be attributed to the president’s inner circle in power. After discussing vague intelligence data, they moved on to discussing data from "alternative" sources. #Putin was told that the "shamans" predicted a big... 2/8
counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine for the first half of the summer and predicted the preservation of almost all the occupied territories. Through the Security Council of the #Russian Federation, the president was reminded of Andrey Kosmach's forecast on... 3/8
Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin, in addition to the routine event dedicated to Cosmonautics Day, held several really important meetings. During an operational meeting on economic issues via video call, the president was informed that... 1/7
inflation had been curbed, and even egg prices had dropped by a fraction of a per cent for the first time in many months. #Putin is an absolute layman in economics and categorically does not want to gain knowledge in this area. For him, since the nineties of... 2/7
the last century, there was a stereotype that the main indicator of the economy is inflation: the lower the inflation, the better things are in the economy. The entire leadership of the economic bloc knows this very well and always uses the inflation argument... 3/7
Yesterday, at the closed part of the meeting on economic issues, which #Putin held via videoconference, the chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira Nabiullina, said that everything is ready for... 1/6
the implementation of blocking of the bank accounts of possible draft evaders for a long time. This is the only thing that Elvira Nabiullina was able to please the president with yesterday. On all other issues, the financial bloc expects a deep and protracted crisis, which... 2/6
the head of the Central Bank calls "Fucking hell". Nabiullina once again warned the president that martial law and the transition of the economy to a military footing would not save it from the "Fucking hell" but only aggravate the situation. 3/6
