Putin's liquidation in St. Petersburg. As the murder of the leader Hamas intensified the fears of the President of the Russian Federation
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Andriy Belousov could be eliminated during the celebrations on the occasion of the Navy Day of the Russian Federation on July 28 in St. Petersburg. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Ryabkov stated that the special services of Ukraine were allegedly guilty. A few days before the Bilousov parade, he spoke about it with the phone with Pentagon Lloyd Austin and urged him to convince Kiev to give up such plans.
The American newspaper The New York Times writes about the unexpected call from the Pentagon from Russia. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in February 2022, Austin spoke with the Russian Defense Minister only five times. Almost always, the dialogue was initiated by the Pentagon for the sake of avoiding the miscalculations that would lead to the escalation of the conflict.
The first telephone conversation between the two ministers since Bilousov was replaced by Sergiy Shoigu took place on July 12, 2024. Bilousov spoke about the "secret operation of Kiev against Russia", which was allegedly approved in Washington. Pentagon officials were surprised by the accusation because they did not know about conspiracy. But whatever Belousov was revealed in the conversation, it was taken quite seriously and immediately rented Ukraine, two sources of the publication said.
"A rare look at the backstage of a telephone conversation between defense ministers shows that often conversations of US and Russian officials contain much more information than they provide the public. In particular, as the United States and Russia manage the risks of escalation of war," the authors emphasize. Ukrainian military intelligence confirmed the fact of the conversation of Belousov and Austin in order to tell about the Ukrainian "secret operation" against the Russian Federation.
The interlocutor of the edition of NB said that the parties discussed certain actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "It was about surgery in Russia, we cannot report more details," Gur said. Every leader of a totalitarian, authoritarian or democratic country can be a victim of terrorists and left -wing extremists.
However, in the case of Putin, the attempt was not organized, it was an unsuccessful attempt to increase its rating among the Russians, explains the focus of safety expert, Lieutenant General of Foreign Intelligence Vasyl Bogdan. "By definition, the leader of any country is a hypothetical goal # 1. It is not worth walking: the murder of 35th US President John Kennedy on November 22, 1963 (Kennedy was fatally injured Elm Street in Dallas, ed.
), Recent attempted attempt on Republican Donald Trump, repeated attempts to liquidate Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky with the participation of Colonels of the State Guard Department, "the expert notes. The possibilities of Ukrainian special services and intelligence representatives to eliminate leaders of other countries are kept secret and not advertised. At least such statements from public authorities and intelligence have never sounded, Bogdan adds.
Also, the special services of Ukraine are much more interesting and important tasks than the demonstrative humiliation of the President of the Russian Federation before his environment, says Major General, former Deputy Chairman of the SBU Viktor Yugan. "Such news is in the context of the Russian IPSO that Ukraine is completely subordinated to the United States and there is nothing to talk about with Kiev, so they call from Moscow directly to Washington," he says.
Volodymyr Putin, according to the analyst's observations, is really afraid of air attacks after the elimination of a number of Iranian high -ranking generals and leaders of the Hamas radical movement. The opportunities of Ukrainian UAVs would allow them to fly to the place of speech by the Russian leader. The authoritarian regime in Russia, built by Putin and his environment, makes it strictly approaching the threat response system.
Profile structures are with great responsibility to build a first person's protection system, Vasyl Bogdan continues. "The technical and physical part of the protection is professionally: doubles for distracting attention, hidden routes of displacements on armored cars are processed. All places where the President of Russia is resting and appearing," - says the expert. Despite the increased precautions, Russia was forced to postponed the Crimea to St. Petersburg Ceremony of the Navy Day.
Regular arrival of rockets on the temporarily occupied peninsula, according to the exchanging of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Valery Kondratyuk, does not make it possible to ensure the safety of the president. "Volodymyr Putin is a priority purpose of the special services of Ukraine. Any opportunity will be used to liquidate it. Errors and miscalculations of the Russian State Guard are taken into account,"-says Lieutenant General.
As a comparison of Kondratyuk, he recalls the recent liquidation of Politburo leader Hamas Ismail Hania in his residence in Tehran. The Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution stated that Khania and his guard were killed by a "small range. " However, there is another version: the explosive at the guest house of Haniah was installed in advance by Israeli agents. "This house was monitored for more than two months and waited for Haniya to come there.
