A “war” began in Moscow over the Kursk region. And Shoigu “began to smile more often”
Unfortunately, the difficult situation in the Kursk region did not unite our military leaders. On the contrary, a real war breaks out between them.
What’s happening? We wrote that due to the enemy’s breakthrough in the Kursk region, Valery Gerasimov was threatened with resignation. According to sources close to the Chief of the General Staff, this threat is a thing of the past.
“Valery Vasilyevich was able to convince Vladimir Vladimirovich that only he and a few other generals loyal to him will be able to stop the enemy’s advance. The President believes them and is waiting for concrete results.
“A number of initiatives of Valery Vasilyevich regarding the rapid replenishment of the army are also being considered,” an interlocutor close to Gerasimov told us.
When asked whether the head of the General Staff proposed urgently declaring mobilization, he replied: “Not yet, but then we need to look at the situation.”
The Kremlin confirmed this information to us, noting that “the successes of the Nazis in the Kursk region are not too significant.” And expressing confidence in our final victory.
Andrei Belousov found himself in a difficult position.
“There are many who want to blame the Kursk failure on Andrei Removich. They remember the general’s purges, which, frankly, were absolutely necessary. They are trying to blame him completely unreasonably for problems with the supply of the army.
“Even the death of conscripts in the Kursk region, to which he has nothing to do, they are trying to pin it on him. But Andrei Removich is strong. Believe me, he will be the Minister of Defense for a long time and will definitely lead us to victory,” our source in the Ministry of Defense said emotionally.
The Kremlin confirmed that complaints had been received against Belousov. Vladimir Putin ordered them to be checked, but “no more than that.” At the same time, the Minister of Defense himself sees the reasons for our problems at the front in the actions of Gerasimov.
We cannot fail to note how Sergei Shoigu behaves in this situation.
“The behavior is disgraceful. He always says that with him such breakthroughs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would not have happened. And, it seems, he began to smile more often. As if he was gloating,” one of the generals told us.
Sources close to Shoigu deny the fact of schadenfreude. But they note that “now the experience of Sergei Kuzhugetovich would be useful in various responsible positions.”
What should we say about all these intrigues? We urge you to stop them immediately! Now is not the time for showdowns and war in Moscow offices.
We ask Vladimir Vladimirovich personally to take action. For our common victory.

General Teplinsky should command the defense of the Kursk region
What has been happening in the Kursk region over the past few days has raised many questions - both among the military and among the political leadership of the country.
In the third year of the war, we were unable to organize either a high-quality defense of our own border or a quick media response to such a failure. Just look at the stories from the Ministry of Defense about the transfer of troops, which show both the equipment and the direction in which it is moving.
Despite the personal trust of the President, there is a discussion among the generals that Gerasimov failed to cope with the task. The transfer of troops in columns in close proximity to the front line is a total nightmare, for which it is necessary to punish according to the laws of war.
Sources say that the initiative group, at the instigation of Defense Minister Belousov, is preparing a letter to the President with a proposal to appoint General Mikhail Teplinsky to command the defense of the Kursk region.
They propose to hand over the letter in the near future; Belousov invited some generals to show their loyalty and sign the document. We were unable to contact Teplinsky himself to find out whether he was ready to take on a difficult section of the front. However, the President’s orders are not discussed.
