being subjected to physical and moral pressure, confessed that he had supported #Prigozhin at the stage of preparation of the mutiny, but after the first calls of the head of the PMCs for military mutiny, he had realised his mistakes, guilt and responsibility and had made... 3/6
a statement strongly condemning the actions against the central authority of #Russia. After reviewing the report and the video footage, #Putin said that it was not worth demonstrating to the Russian elites and the people the dissent and apostasy in the army. 4/6
He postponed a decision on how to deal with Surovikin. From our side, we would like to warn you that if the resignation of Defence Minister Sergei #Shoigu and the nomination of Alexei Dyumin in his place is announced soon, it will mean that... 5/6
the president has been removed from decision-making and a coup attempt is taking place. Details and explanations will be given later. 6/6

the activities of the president, or rather a person resembling the president. In recent days, #Putin's double was like Figaro's. He has been appearing "here and there", awarding, announcing, conducting, participating, coming out, giving speeches and so on. 3/7
#Prigozhin: " I will drag #Putin out by the scruff of the neck into Red Square and piss on him live on air for the whole country"
Prigozhin made a statement yesterday in which he outlined his position, of course, somewhat distorting the reality. The head of the PMC... 1/4

before the nomination, #Prigozhin, in front of many witnesses, promised to "drag #Putin out by the scruff of the neck into Red Square and piss on him live on air for the whole country". This promise, cheered wildly by those present, does not sit well with his words... 3/4
⚠️#PRIGOZHIN COORDINATED WITH THE CHIEF DIRECTORATE OF THE GENERAL STAFF OF THE #RUSSIANARMY
We need to bring clarity to the events that took place on June 23-24. We have repeatedly reported that discontent matures in

the entourage of #Russian President Vladimir #Putin with Yevgeny #Prigozhin and the #Wagner PMCs. There were a lot of complaints, and they came from a wide range of people: from the leadership of the military bloc to security forces and friends of the president.

Only lazybones did not complain about #Prigozhin to #Putin. For a while, Putin tried to build Prigozhin and the #Wagner into a system of checks and balances, but it did not add stability to the system. Prigozhin, who served as a custodian of wealth exported to Africa,...

#Putin's Double Feels Himself Like The Real President
Yesterday, a man resembling #Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with graduates of military universities and a meeting with members of the government. During the meeting with graduates of... 1/6
military universities, the president's double made a speech, listened to the speeches of other participants, answered prepared questions, spoke about the situation at the front, made several dozens of handshakes with unfamiliar people, talked to several of them personally,... 2/6
listened to poems, songs, sayings and wishes, in general, entertained as he could. It should be noted that the double already feels like a fish in the water at such events, and this, despite unintentional reservations and some differences in his behaviour and... 3/6
