There is turmoil within the Russian leadership? American media reports thundered on the ground, alarming Kremlin .
The US " Washington Post " reported that according to the U.S. intelligence agency , different voices appeared in the top leaders of the Russian regime, and the authority of Putin was challenged, and there was turmoil within the leadership due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
However, there is no definite source of information in the US media reports, and the so-called "US intelligence agencies" do not have specific information, but just storm and exaggerate.
The United States avoids fighting fire with Russia on the Ukrainian battlefield, but in a battlefield where gunpowder smoke is invisible, the United States' attack on Russia has never stopped, such as public opinion warfare, cyber warfare, etc., which is the advantage of the United States.
The Kremlin responded to the reports of the US media. Putin's press secretary Peskov said that the reports of the US media were "absolutely untrue" and were lying and deliberately hyping.
Putin is the Russian president and a core figure in the Kremlin leadership. His every move has attracted attention from the outside world. Especially at the critical stage of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, hostile forces attack him one after another. The US military even considered assassinating him and removing him quickly, leaving Russia without a leader, rapidly declining, and completely losing the qualification to compete with the United States.
So, it is not surprising that the US media has hyped up the Russian leadership. The purpose is to confuse the public, shake the morale of Russia's military and people, and let Russia collapse on its own.
Peskov added that it is normal for Putin to have quarrels with his colleagues. They do not all share the same views on economic, military and other aspects at work. Having different opinions is the norm at work and does not mean that there are signs of division in the Russian leadership.
In fact, there are different opinions in the leadership of every country, and it is normal for debate to arise. Take the United States as an example. The Biden administration is divided into two factions on whether to reduce tariffs on China. One faction, represented by the Minister of Commerce Raymondo , advocated the abolition of some tariffs on China; the other faction, mainly trade representative Dai Qi, advocated the imposition of tariffs on China. The two sides quarreled and remained stalemate, and Biden was also unstable.
In the process of using troops to Ukraine, there are indeed different opinions within the Russian leadership, and even quarrels may occur.
For example, under the large counterattack of the Ukrainian army, the Russian army partially retreated and lost some of the actual control areas. Therefore, Kadyrov criticized the Russian army's strategic mistakes and even went to the Kremlin to talk to Putin. Later, he made a harsh statement and called for the use of tactical nuclear weapon to reverse the unfavorable situation.
Of course, Kadyrov's furious anger was not targeting Putin, but worried about the Russian army's poor performance on the battlefield. He believed that The Russian Ministry of Defense had improper command and needed to adjust his strategy.
Kadrov criticized Russian Ministry of Defense was not punished. Instead, he was promoted to two levels in half a year and was promoted to general by Putin.
In order to repay Putin, Kadyrov expressed his righteousness that he would not let down President Putin's trust and would fight a beautiful battle with practical actions to reverse the unfavorable situation. Kadyrov not only went to the front line in person, but also responded to Putin's call to send all his three sons to the front line.
Putin's move is not only to encourage or appease Kadyrov and his Chechen armed forces, but also to attack the Russian Ministry of Defense, hoping that they will use the results of the war to prove their abilities.
Although changing commanders at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists, the Russian army retreated steadily on the battlefield of Ukraine, and Putin had to make adjustments. The commander of the Russian Aerospace Army, General Sulovijin, who participated in the Syrian War and the Second Chechnya War, will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Special Military Operations against Ukraine in the near future. He hopes that this long-time general can take on a great task, boost the morale of the Russian army, and achieve a final victory.
The local defeat of the Russian army in the Ukrainian battlefield will cause people in Russia to fluctuate, and various rumors are flying everywhere, and there are naturally many speculations about the division of the Russian leadership.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, Putin must take some action and adjust his strategic deployment in a timely manner. Russian generals are naturally capable and mediocre. They should prove that they can take on great responsibilities with practical actions, rather than being eloquent and only know how to talk on paper.
Now, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been delayed for a long time, Putin is facing various pressures, and it is very necessary to win. Even if it is just a partial victory, he has no intention of retreating, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the people.
0 The Russian army lost on the battlefield in Ukraine, and the Russian Ministry of Defense bears an unshirkable responsibility. Recently, Crimea Bridge was bombed, and Russia suffered another blow. Many people believe that there will be problems with the Russian military's front-line supply, but Russia organized its forces to quickly repair the Crimea Bridge. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 8th that Russian troops can still obtain material supplies by sea and land when fighting in Ukraine.
From this we can see that as long as there is no problem with material supply, special military operations will continue. The Russian Ministry of Defense is still a powerful department that Putin can trust. The Ministry of Defense needs to coordinate the overall situation and end the conflict as soon as possible.
Although there are differences within the Russian leadership, there are no signs of division, and the US media reports have exaggerated them.
Moreover, although the Russian army suffered a defeat in the Ukrainian battlefield, Putin's approval rating did not decline. According to the poll results recently released by the All-Russian Social Public Opinion Research Center , Putin's approval rating is still above 80%, and it has increased slightly from the previous week, which shows that Putin is still the core of Russia's power and his status is very stable.
Russian scholar Avgust believes that under the current situation, Russia needs a strong leader, and Putin is in line with the needs of the people.
Putin celebrated his birthday in a low-key manner on October 7. He looked in good health and full of vitality.
For Russia, Putin's health is very important, and he is the bond of unity between Russia.
What Russians need to worry about is that once Putin is no longer the leader of Russia, or his physical condition is in trouble and he does not have a suitable successor, then Russia may really be in turmoil. Coupled with the intervention of external forces, Russia's future is full of various uncertainties: either being dismembered, enslaved, or destroyed...
