Putin cam across as a lame duck in his latest post mutiny speech

Putin thanked the population of Russia for solidarity and patriotism. The highest consolidation of society is shown. Everyone took a single position - the entire Russian society.

Everyone was united by responsibility for the fate of the Fatherland.

▪️ From the very beginning of the events, decisions were made to neutralize the threat and protect the constitutional order. In any case, an armed rebellion would have been suppressed -

the organizers could not help but understand this. The organizers went to criminal actions, splitting the country at the moment when at the front with the words "Not a step back!" our comrades are dying.

The organizers of the rebellion pushed their subordinates to shoot at their own. This is what the enemies of Russia wanted: for Russia to lose, and society to split, choke in bloody civil strife. They rubbed their hands, wanting to take revenge in the so-called counteroffensive.

▪️ Putin thanked the power structures and law enforcement agencies. The courage of the fallen pilots saved Russia from tragic events.
They tried to use Wagner PMC fighters in the dark.

Steps were taken from the very beginning to resolve the crisis and conflict. Putin thanked the Wagner commanders who stopped at the last line. Now they have the opportunity to conclude a contract with the Russian MOD, other power structures or go to Belarus.

This is their choice - the choice of warriors who have realized their mistake.

▪️ Putin thanked Lukashenka for his contribution to resolving the situation.
