According to a Russian political analyst, Vladimir Putin will not attend the G20 conference in Bali out of fear of being murdered.
Sergey Markov falsely asserted that the secret services of the United Kingdom, the United States, or Ukraine may attempt to eliminate Vladimir Putin at next week’s gathering of advanced economies.
He also hypothesized that Putin is afraid of being humiliated, potentially by being tripped or shoved to the ground, and that he doesn’t want to face other leaders after the retreat from Kherson because they will attempt to pressure him into a complete concession.
Markov is among a number of famous Russians criticizing the government over the capitulation in Kherson, which was announced last night on national television by defence minister Sergei Shoigu and general Sergei Surovikin.
Markov noted, “The reasons for Putin’s absence from the G20 are grave –
1) There is a high probability of an assassination attempt on Putin by the special services of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine.
2) The potential for humiliating scenarios. For instance, a crippled social activist knocks Putin down – ostensibly by accident – and the entire world’s media publishes a photograph with the headline, “The President of Russia is on all fours.”
“I am convinced that some really insane Westerners are planning this type of catastrophe.”
3) Following its defeat at Kherson, Russia’s status as a great power is under question. They will exert pressure and demand a moderate concession.
He, along with other notable voices, has criticized the regime for its most recent military loss.
“If Russia wishes to win, we must convert the economy into a military government,” he explained.
This decision is six months overdue. We must be more robust. Tougher. Our factories must create drones, communications, missiles, and shells 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Anastasia Kashevarova, a state TV correspondent and former adviser to Vyacheslav Volodin, the faithful speaker of the Russian parliament, was enraged at ‘who and why’ Kherson had been surrendered.
We took a massive bite, were unable to swallow it, and are currently regurgitating it. We expelled Izyum, Balakleya, and Liman,’ she wrote.
What was the grand scheme? Furthermore, what does the term ‘victory’ imply to us all? What ought we to do? What outcomes must we accomplish? Where shall we arrive to make it apparent that this is it, the Victory?
No one is aware. I believe neither the Kremlin nor the Ministry of Defense is aware of it.’
The war analyst for the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, Sergey Mardan, issued the following warning: “The Special Military Operation concludes today with the retreat from the Russian city of Kherson.” And thus the long war commences. Believe me, it will be lengthy.
Alexander Khodakovsky, leader of the pro-Russian Vostok Battalion created in May 2014 in the Donbas, and former commander of Ukraine’s Alpha special forces, stated, ‘I have been aware of the final decision regarding Kherson for at least two weeks.
I knew, as did a small group of military personnel surrounding me. ‘I’ll be honest with you – it was difficult to live with this knowledge.
“It is difficult, painful, and bitter, and I want to say a lot of harsh words, but it won’t help.”
A man was arrested in front of the Kremlin while holding a sign that read “Traitors.” You messed everything up.
The police detained him.
Vladimir Solovyov, a propagandist with a short fuse, retaliated on state television against a critic who advised him to go to the front instead of lamenting the performance of enlisted troops in the war from his cushy studio.
“Are you writing to me from a trench, you scum…?”
Our government is making every effort possible.
“When I’m drafted, I’ll go to the front of the line
When a 59-year-old is required, I will advance to the front.
“And I’ve requested, multiple times….[and been denied].
“No one must be aware of [our war commander] Sergei Surovikin’s preparations.
“Global Armageddon”
“Until the time of implementation and actualization.”
However, Solovyov, who is regarded as Putin’s mouthpiece, acknowledged Russia’s current predicament.
He warned his detractors, “Shut up if you can’t be supportive. Just be quiet!’
State-run media sites such as RT and Sputnik were bombarded with negative comments criticizing Putin and his commanders for the withdrawal and other military setbacks.
Dmitry posted: “Will we also surrender Crimea? How long will this continue?”
‘
Alla said: ‘What a disgrace! Why, therefore, were there so many deaths, and why did we start the conflict? ‘
Sergey remarked, “It appears [the commanders] have lost the ability to fight,” and another user responded, “What idiots!”
Sergey fumed, “Perhaps we will also surrender Moscow?
“Why in the hell did we conduct mobilisation?” To surrender territory? People are astonished.
Nikolay inquired, “When will Crimea and Donetsk be ceded?”
Vladimir posted: “A disgrace. To surrender a Russian city without resistance. This authority is complete. The fifth column triumphed.
Another man, Vladislav, remarked, “This is a carnival, not a gathering of military leaders.” One scandal after another.
One Russian user said, “The Emperor has no clothing.”
A commenter stated that Putin had abdicated power and that he and his crew were traitors to the nation.
Margarita Simonyan, the head of the state media network RT and one of Putin’s most devoted propagandists, stated that the surrender was part of a “cunning plan.”
She then inquired, “Did you want the road to be lined with the bodies of the mobilized?”
‘
Lieutenant-General Andrey Gurulev, a loyalist politician and military expert, responded, “Stop moaning and winging. If he did it this way, then it was required.’
Putin’s ‘chef’ Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is rumored to aspire to become defense minister, lauded battle commander General Sergei Surovikin, stating, ‘Naturally, this is not a victory, but it’s necessary not to panic or become paranoid.’ It was not an easy decision for Surovikin to make.
However, he acted as a guy unafraid of responsibility.
Putin avoided a separate meeting at which Shoigu and Surovikin announced the retreat.
Putin was instead spotted in a brain facility seeking heavenly help.
Putin, an Orthodox Christian, made the sign of the cross in the operating room during an open brain surgery at the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
Later, he attended a Kremlin celebration for the organization.
