Now everybody in Ukraine and Russia wait Monday, when (according to rumors) should be a press conference at which will announce what happened with Putin and who continue to lead the country. Also in Monday will be the anniversary of the annexation of the Crimea and the great show at Red Square. Its announced that Putin will be there... will seeHi from Ukraine. The most probable scenario is the seizure of power by the representatives of law enforcement agencies, as head of the FSB - Patrushev, the head of the investigative committee - Bortnikov, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and others.
Couple days ago Bortnikov flew to the United States and about something negotiated.
On the Putin side only Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya (who probably has orginazed the kill of Nemtsov by order of Putin). But Kadyrov in 11 of March has a meet with Patrushev and (as said in some sources) admitted defeat.
The open question is what coup organizers want? 2 versions: or stop the war with Ukraine and the lifting of sanctions from West (Bortnikov's visit to US speaks in favor of this version), becouse all of them have money in western banks real estate in the West. Or they want a big war. I hope it's the first version.
But the fact that it is coup, it is 99%.
WOW. Thank you for the post, very interesting.
