Why Putin pulls with annexation of the occupied territories and can he give the back
He was a script. Suddenly, there were reports from a few official sources that no Radfed meetings are planned this week. It will probably be preserved on October 4. Initially, the senator of Klishas stated this, and then confirmed the head of Radfed Matvienko. And this is at a time when the "leaders" of the unprivted are torn to Moscow according to their powers as Russian state officials, not local Gaulayters. In general, officially, the Russian Federation is very blurred.
The impression that the concept has changed in the process. There are no news on the Kremlin's websites that would confirm this "release" yet. But it seems that Putin is no longer sure whether official annexation will be the best option for him, whether to wait or to cancel it at all. This may be due to the deliberate cessation (due to the explosion of an analogue about 100 kg of dynamite, as Norwegian experts stated) of North Stream 2. Diversion or not, the accident or not - does not matter.
From that moment, Russian gas through "PP 1" and "PP 2" cannot be shipped to Europe. This is probably part of the event's response to referendums. Plus, of course, the opening of the Baltic gas pipeline with statements of Poland, which after that Russia lost its opportunities for gas blackmail. Like, we may not pump nuclear threats, but simply cut off the opportunity to keep Europe in gas addiction. And that's all. Putin could well think about whether it was worth it and what would be next.
Therefore, it is likely that Putin gives the back. Or for something gives a fog. The third option: he simply does not know what to do in panic. Because everything looked like this: sudden partial mobilization, suddenly organized by Putin's referendum with the desired result - and everything is hurriedly, because it was necessary to run. And now it turns out that the rush was not so necessary - if the consideration was pushed up approximately on October 4.
