The Telegraph article indicates that the publication is unaware that Russia has air support in that region and the Ukraine, once again, has nothing. SO there's a surreal nature to the article as it pretends  Putin is floundering. But elsewhere it the article, there's some information which shows Alexai Dyumin is not just a former bodyguard, but is believed to be potentially Putin's successor and is thought to have led special forces in the annexation of Crimea in 2014. I think Putin is handing him a victory - trapped Ukrainians on Russian soil.

Putin appoints former bodyguard who fought off a bear to lead Kursk defence

Alexei Dyumin, who is considered a potential successor to the president, is chosen to head the efforts to drive Ukraine off Russian land

Vladimir Putin has appointed one of his former bodyguards to lead his personal effort to end Ukraine’s invasion of Russia.

Alexei Dyumin, who guarded Putin during his first two terms and is considered a potential successor to the president, was named “kurator” of the operation to liberate the Kursk region, Russian military bloggers reported on Tuesday.

Dyumin has long been seen as an emerging star in Putin’s entourage, rising to the deputy head of the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, and is thought to have led special forces in the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

In 2016, Putin appointed him governor of Tula region, where he gained a reputation as an effective and relatively popular administrator, distinguishing him from several other former bodyguards whom Mr Putin has promoted to senior positions.

In May this year, he was recalled to Moscow and made head of the State Council, an advisory body, in what was seen as preparation for higher office or even to become Mr Putin’s successor.

Alexei Dyumin was also a General and his father was also a General. He is a military man and he is being groomed as the odds on successor to Val the Putin.

That the would be successor to Putin is going to Kursk means one thing only. Russia is certian of victory. This provides the credentials for him to win a vote in Russia for president.

Contrast that to our favorite girl, Heel’s Up, who was groomed by Willie Wonka at orgies where she was the jerk in the circle per alleged videos waiting for debut on Pornstars.xxx in October.

America is an unserious country so far into negative corruption. That the DNC is still pushing the Kamala for president meme when Putin has an ACE up his sleeve. Too bad the US can’t just play the TRUMP CARD.
