Needs explanation. Which incident?.
PS: When we were ready to bomb Pakistanis and refused to answer American, British, German and French phone calls, a call came from Riyadh saying either we take oil or we attack Pakistan. Straight blackmail. But it worked, oil at that time was more necessary. Similar steps can be taken.
Watch them carefully however.Two FSB and Wagner PMC officers ask for asylum in France and testify, reports Gulagu.net
14 October 2022 20:11
A Wagner PMC employee and an FSB officer have requested political asylum in France, Vladimir Osechkin, head of the Gulagu.net media project, told The Insider. According to Osechkin, the two are now giving testimonies to help the international investigation into Russia's war crimes. Their testimony details the corruption schemes in Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), as well as the history of the establishment of the Wagner Private Military Company as a «branch» of the GRU (Russia’s military intelligence service – Translator’s note), said Osechkin. According to him, several members of Russia’s special services have already been able to leave Russia in recent months and seek asylum abroad. They are also testifying.
"One of the people is connected with the work of [Evgeny] Prigozhin's headquarters and team, while the other is an FSB officer. Both of them flew on the same plane and sent their boarding passes, according to [our] rules. So when we saw almost identical boarding passes with the same markings, we thought that two different people had sent us the same ticket - then we looked closer and discovered that one was sitting in the 28th row, while the other was in the 29th. Both went in sync to request political asylum and international protection, it seemed odd - each thought the other was targeting him. The French police and airport security were also suspicious - the situation was extraordinary to say the least.
Now each of them will testify about war crimes and hopefully they will have the opportunity to cooperate with the international investigation and testify against Evgeny Prigozhin and other people from the Putin regime. A major foreign TV channel is devoting a report to one of these testimonies. I can say that they concern how the Wagner PMC was created within the Russian Ministry of Defense under the aegis of the GRU, how the state set up a system of financing and supplying the PMCs and how these secret units were involved in subversive activities in eastern Ukraine, directly in the Luhansk region.
The FSB officer has quite serious inside information about the flow of documents, with a lot of important information, which will be published in several stages. The documents concern both the invasion of Ukraine and recent developments in the counterintelligence department and the Ministry of Defense.
I would like to note that European countries, including France, are the countries that offer political asylum and protection not to those who come to deliver their secrets, but to those who are in danger, who risk not only their freedom but also their lives and health. When members of Putin's system leave it, they become enemies of the system. We know many examples of this. The most sensational case is Sergey Skripal, but also the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, etc.
In recent months, a number of people who were directly involved in Putin's regime have left Russia, the chairman of one of the courts flew to an EU country and delivers a rather detailed and consistent testimony about how the FSB and Putin's administration absorbed the independent judiciary and subjugated the judges, turning the entire system into a branch that approves decisions after a phone call from their handlers."
The third Chechen Independence War will probably not be won by Russia after it has squandered all its military potential in Ukraine...Chechens who've been fighting against Russia in Syria are going to help Ukraine
Russia has been very stupid with this war given how many local enemies it has. What if the Chechens turn again, and Georgia and Moldova start taking back what's theirs simultaneously?The third Chechen Independence War will probably not be won by Russia after it has squandered all its military potential in Ukraine...
Remember how Russia's Military Industrial Complex had supposedly been going on overdrive to prepare for this war these last three years?
