The head of a Russian private militia has called on the army to overthrow Vladimir Putin in what is potentially shaping up to be the biggest threat of revolt the Kremlin has faced since the Wagner mutiny last year.
Georgy Zakrevsky is the founder of the Paladin PMC, one of many shadowy military groups like the former Wagner militia, that are loosely linked to the Kremlin.
The private military company (PMC) has around 300 members and has fought in wars around the world, including in Syria and Africa.
Zakrevsky launched a blistering attack on the Russian president during a video recording in which he blamed all the military failures in Ukraine on Putin personally.

"Drones are flying all over central Russia, right up to Moscow and St. Petersburg. They even attacked the Kremlin.
"Our Black Sea fleet is being pushed out. It's being pushed out as if we are not a great power with a great fleet, but some third-rate country.
"Our aviation is practically not working because it is also being pushed out. We are standing in the same positions that we took more than two years ago, and partly in those to which we retreated.
"The population is dying out, becoming impoverished, drinking itself to death - no one cares.
"All they have time to do is bring in migrants. And all this was done by the so-called 'president' - 'The Great' Putin."
The video has been extensively distributed among the Russian army and clearly presents an alarming threat to the Kremlin.

Someone who wants to mark a harder line than Putin, that sounds like another DS loss.
100% Like the kids finally figuring out that Mom is screwing around and Daddy Trump is pissed. It is all Trumps fault of course. WW 3 led by a NG leader who resigned rather than do his duty, and a cheap tramp.
Don’t get me wrong. I also believe Putin screwed the Russians, but Biden screwed America. I don’t like Zelensky, Putin, Biden or Harris. The world would be better without all four of them.
I’ll follow the dan Bongino Rule and wait 48 hours for confirmation.
Does anyone have additional information about this new PMC warlord and his strength, effectiveness, and allies. Also, what is the current strength and leadership of the Wagner Group, and Kadyrov’s Chechen troops? Are there other organized armed Russian groups we have not heard of?
From the article:
"The private military company (PMC) has around 300 members and has fought in wars around the world, including in Syria and Africa."It's impossible to imagine Paladin as a serious military threat to Vladimir Putin or anyone else in Russia's government.
More likely Georgy Zakrevsky will suffer the same fate as Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Putin destroyed the army, another Prigozhin appeared in Russia (video)
“We were told a lot about the army, how powerful and beautiful it is in our country. All these wonderful reports... Where are our “Armats”? Where are all these “unparalleled” weapons? - asks Zakrevsky.
According to him, “nothing worked” in Russia during the SVO in Ukraine.
“Furthermore: they lie all the time. Recently, they have been self-imposed. The so-called president is being removed. Why is the Ministry of Defense here? This person is responsible for everything that happens in the country,” Zakrevsky noted.
He also points to systemic problems in the Russian economy.
“We were told for a long time that our country is rising from its knees, that its industry is developing. ... It turned out that there is nothing: there is no industry, there is no economy. It turned out that we do not even make white paper, because we do not have components “We don't make normal toilet paper. We don't make gearboxes that were invented and made in the world 70 years ago,” Zakrevsky states.

He is just a symptom of the disintegration of the Russian system.
The problem sir, is that you are Russians.
Russians have never lost the serf mentality
The Russians are worse.
WAR CRIME🚨
This is a radio intercept about the beheadings shown in the ISIS like video of the Russian 155th brigade In the radio intercept, the commander give the order to behead 4 people and put their heads on sticks like in the gruesome video. One of the victim is presumably a captain in the Ukrainian army. The filming occured likely near Kolotilovka
RT = Highly appreciated, let the world know about Russia terrorism

Yes.
Putin and his deep-state KGB/FSB are together a terrorist organization that has killed scores more people than all other terrorist organizations combined these last 50 years.
It is Russian state-sponsoring of terror. And to confirm this even further... Russia built an alliance composed of the world’s most extreme Islamic country: IRAN...
... and the world’s most communist country in the history of mankind: North Korea.
That is Putin’s legacy: Terror, Islamism, Communism, for-ever-wars, anti-Americanism, anti-Christianism.
Why do I say: Russian “anti-Christianism”? Because Ukraine is considered as being Europe’s most Christian country of them all. Russia is attacking that country and even used the help of Islamic Chechens to do so.
We have to let that sink in for a minute... :
Putin brought in armed Islamists into Europe to wage war against Christians.
