Afraid of sabotage in the Russian Federation: the media called the cause of Putin's refusal of the Great Press Conference

The special services were unable to guarantee the President of the Russian Federation, which could prevent sabotage in Russia - in the Kremlin were shocked by the last blows to airfields in the Saratov and Ryazan regions.

The decision to cancel the annual large press conference, which took place for the last 10 years without a break, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin at the last moment was made after the intelligence services could not guarantee him that they could prevent the attempts of sabotage of Ukraine in the territory of Russia. This was reported by The Moscow Times, citing six sources close to the Kremlin and the government.

According to the media, in the middle of the autumn in the Kremlin there was a confidence that Putin would speak to the Russians in the usual format, despite the fact that the situation on the front is developing for the Russian Federation is not the best. "Everyone nodded his head: the chief is a rock, he will cope. He will not want to cancel in principle," one of the interlocutors of the publication said.

However, in December, it became clear that Putin would not be able to speak due to a number of problems related to the war in Ukraine, in particular because of Kherson, a blow on the base of the fleet in Sevastopol, an explosion on the Crimean bridge, mobilization, blows to airfields in Saratov and Ryazan areas.

At the same time, according to the official who agreed to communicate with the publication, "in the Kremlin were shocked" after the strikes of Ukraine on the aerodromes of the base of strategic aviation of the Russian Federation. "The issue of sabotage was discussed in detail at meetings with security forces. They will swear that this will not happen. But give a 100% guarantee that something will happen before the pressconference, no one can.

Clear A strong argument against a press conference, " - said the interlocutor of the publication. According to the newspaper, the Kremlin leadership has no answers to many questions about war. That is why they decided to choose the negative associated with the abolition of the annual press conference, instead of demonstrating the loss of initiative on the battlefield, according to a political consultant Abbas Gallyamov.
