Putin is winning., page-329

Not sure when this thread started, but the only area Putin is still winning, is his crackdown on dissent in Russia. Probably not for much longer.

The following is an intercepted call from an FSB officer of the 41st army regarding the death of General Gerasimov. On an unencrypted phone with local SIM card;

.• ⁠Dima, can you get on a secure channel?• ⁠The secure doesn't work here, we can't get anyone. Where are you?• ⁠I'm on my secure channel. How are you doing?• ⁠Not great, given the latest news.• ⁠Yes, Smetov has told me. Were they evacuated at the very least?• ⁠No, he's still there.• ⁠How bad is it?• ⁠As bad as it gets.

The Russians are f..ked. They have no secure comms. NATO & Ukraine listening in to their communications.
And to lose a Major General on day 12 of a war can’t be a good sign for them.
