Russian leader Vladimir Putin gave his stammering spy chief a tongue-lashing at a security council meeting Tuesday, schooling him in a discussion about Moscow recognizing the independence of two separatist-controlled regions of Ukraine.
The director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia seemed to goof after a testy exchange with Putin, and said he supported absorbing the breakaway states into the Russian federation before backtracking and saying he supported their independence.
Russia’s recognition of the self-declared Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic has been viewed as the possible first step of Russia’s expected invasion of Ukraine.
Putin is seen in a viral video telling intelligence director Sergei Naryshkin to “speak plainly” multiple times, interrupting and speaking over him as he pushes the spy chief to see if he supports recognizing Donetsk and Luhank’s sovereignty.
“Speak, speak, speak — plainly,” a visibly annoyed Putin says, according to a translation by journalist Peter Liakhov.
Naryshkin stumbles over his words “I will support the proposal about the recognition of…”
Putin then interjects again. “I will support? Or I support?” he says, telling him to speak plainly again.
“I support the proposal…” Naryshkin said.
Putin fired back: “Then say it like that! Yes or no.”
“I support the proposal about the entry of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics into the Russian Federation,” the spy chief then said.
Putin laughed at that stumble.
“We’re not talking about that,” Putin says, according to the translation. “We’re not discussing that. We’re talking about recognizing their independence or not.”
“Yes,” Naryshkin concludes after the dressing down. “I support the proposal to recognize their independence.”
Russia deployed troops into the two pro-Moscow regions, sparking President Joe Biden to announce new sanctions against its former Cold War foe.

Off with his head! The spy chief’s.
He’s a three time cancer survivor nothing can stop him
Heh...”independence” first, followed by a sham referendum, followed by annexation. It’s the old Soviet/Putin playbook.
He looked the same to me. He is over 70 you know. Looking awful is the norm. I can speak to that.
Wow. The Russian ‘intelligence community’ is almost as incompetent as ours
“He looked the same to me. He is over 70 you know. Looking awful is the norm.”

Also, I don’t feel the USA has any leg to stand on, when denigrating the appearance or mental acuity another country’s leader at this point in time.
This is 6 months old.

But we’ll do it anyway. Exceptional at all times, as we like to boast.
Yes. Soros, Schwab and Crew. The International Malthusian Derp State.
What a bunch of f-ing bedwetters
That article and video are from just before the war started. There have been a lot of officials in Moscow purged since then.
They all know that they are walking on eggshells with Putin, if they say the wrong thing. Putin has long been a sociopathic serial killer, but now he is on an orgiastic bloodbath spree.
