Prigozhin's failed coup inflicted worst daily air force losses of the war with 39 pilots and crew killed by Wagner'

He faces expectation to replace top war commanders or face new insurrection Coup leader Prigozhin agreed to be based across the border in Belarus - for now

Vladimir Putin has broken his silence about 'stepping up efforts' in Ukraine in pre-recorded interview that aired after he suffered his worst daily air force losses of the war.

The Russian president, on state television today, said he was 'confident' in his forces where he alleged are 'in a position to implement all the plans and tasks ahead of us'.

Putin claimed his optimism applied to Moscow's 'defence', 'special military operation', and the 'economy as a whole and its individual areas'. He also added that a meeting of the country's Security Council will still take place next week as planned.

His speech aired today after it was claimed that Wagner mercenary fighters killed 39 pilots and crew by downing strike helicopters and a military plane during Prigozhin's rebellion.

Putin is also believed to be facing the humbling expectation to replace his top two war commanders - close ally defence minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the army staff general Valery Gerasmivov - or face new insurrection.

Coup leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, once a Putin loyalist, has agreed to be based across the border in Belarus - for now. Out of jail, and free to run his large mercenary army, he still poses an acute threat to the 70-year-old Russian president.

Putin claimed?
“His speech aired today after it was claimed that Wagner mercenary fighters killed 39 pilots and crew by downing strike helicopters and a military plane during Prigozhin’s rebellion.”

Who claimed? I’ll give you odds the “claimer” can be found over at the media masters feeding trough. I’d appreciate that Russian source who would actually know. You could just “claim” to get back to me on your legit source.

These people are stupid crazy. Blowing the Nova Kakhovka dam was just a warm up in the stupidity and major environmental damage department for this nut case.

The above statement could well mean blowing the already mined cooling system and reactors at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which would, in effect, destroy all of Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and a good bit of Russia and possibly Europe. All would become uninhabitable.

But because it is so extreme, like the Nova Kakhovka warning, everyone who reads it here or elsewhere, will ignore it ... until it happens.

The Russian military has more clowns than a circus clown car. Supporters of the Russian military are also clowns.
