Is Putin in very bad shape?https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4042550/posts?page=3960#3960
It would be nice if this were all true.
Yes, that is true, ;-)
Best General SVR ever!
He is, maybe his doubles are not (for now). But if he thinks he’s in bad shape now, wait until he gets the Beria treatment.

“The latest data on Putin’s health problems emerged in US intelligence reports. According to these reports, Putin is receiving chemotherapy treatment. During these treatments, which are quite heavy, Putin cannot make critical decisions. Putin is unable to perform his duties during hours of chemotherapy treatments. This leads to a weakness of governance in Russia.
Putin’s treatment is not giving positive results. However, if Putin dies, there could be chaos in Russia. That’s why some Russian generals think that Putin’s reputation should be completely destroyed and Russia’s leaders should change. Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian National Security Council and Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian general staff, are also known to think so. But Khrushchev and Gerasimov are allegedly acting together on this issue.
The two commanders are allegedly planning to organize a conspiracy against Putin. According to the allegations, the Russian army will make a new move while Putin is in chemotherapy. While this move, the Russian army will draw the war to the Mariupol region. Russian forces in Mariupol are in a very bad situation as a result of the withdrawal of the war to this region. The Russian army could suffer a heavy defeat. This could result in the Russian army completely losing control of the southern front.
As you know, the Russian army has already withdrawn from the city center in Kherson. This retreat did great damage to Putin’s reputation. Everyone who learned about it thought that the Russian army had suffered a major defeat on this front. The Russian army was in an extremely bad situation.
Mariupol is located very close to Kherson. If these Russian army loses its stronghold in Mariupol, the Ukrainian army will have gained a huge military superiority. This could result in the Russian army losing this war once and for all.
According to intelligence reports, the Russian army has started to unite against Putin. Top Russian commanders are cooperating against Putin. Russian commanders think this war must end as soon as possible.”

A Russian soldier who spent nearly thirty years behind bars said that he personally oversaw the shooting of roughly 70 former convicts who refused to follow orders. He also admitted to killing a little girl in Soledar. In his brutal words: “She was five or six, and I fired, you know, a shot to finish her off.”

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 20, 2023
The Kremlin demoted the commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet Sergei Avakyants amid an ongoing surprise readiness check that began on April 14. It is unclear if the Kremlin demoted Avakyants due to his poor performance in the ongoing rills or for other reasons.
A prominent Russian milblogger criticized the Russian military’s use of Russian airborne (VDV), naval infantry, and Spetsnaz forces as frontline infantry in Ukraine.
The Russian State Duma adopted a law granting members of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Militias veterans’ status which could possibly cover PMC personnel but does not formally recognize PMC formations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin to resolve issues at the Gukovo checkpoint during a meeting with government officials, indicating continued Russian challenges integrating illegally annexed Ukrainian territory.
Russian forces continued limited ground attacks in the Kreminna area.
Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces continued reconnaissance activity northwest of Svatove.
Russian forces continued ground attacks in and around Bakhmut, along the Avdiivka-Donetsk frontline, and in western Donetsk Oblast.
Russian forces continued defensive preparations in southern Ukraine out of concern for a possible Ukrainian counteroffensive.
The Kremlin may be eliminating or deprioritizing formal force structures controlled by the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and permitting private military companies (PMCs) to absorb their soldiers.
