@MAKS23 so somone is benefiting economically of this war within the security services and needs the stupid #kgb clerk keep on with the war, or what do you say mr #Bortnikov

#FSB director #bortnikov raised with #putin the issue of the murders of #Ukrainian bloggers who collect huge funds on #FPV
At first, it was reported by pro-#kremlin TG channels, but then the posts were deleted. There are still messages on other resources.
There is nothing surprising, I have long said that anyone who helps the resistance and is public is at risk. And I'm not used to the threat to life either.

Директор ФСБ бортніков підіймав перед путіним питання вбивств «українських блогерів, які збирають величезні кошти на FPV». Спершу про це повідомили прокремлівські тг-канали, але потім видалили пости. Лишились повідомлення на інших ресурсах. Нічого дивного немає, я давно кажу,

@ScottLucas

it means that #putin doesn't trust the "old guard" anymore (#Shoigu, #Gerasimov, #Bortnikov, #Patrushev ...)

on the other hand, if things go wrong, it would be much easier for him to purge #Dyumin than the others.

@[email protected] @hanse_mina he did unset the balance by giving #FSB command over #military #operation in #Kursk so lets see how power hungry next #russian #dictator #Bortnikov will be, as there is no point in share money with putin or his family.
Update: after only one day, #Putin has replaced #Bortnikov with his former bodyguard #Dyumin , as responsible of the defense of #Kursk

@hanse_mina

it's bigger.

after the demotion of #Patrushev to "presidential aid for shipbuilding", and the removal of #Shoigu from minister of defense, #Bortnikov is the second most powerful person in #russia after #putin .

now putin removes #Gerasimov, and gives him control over a section of the army in addition to the security service #FSB.

I see this as very dangerous for putin, if #Bortnikov starts to think that in the future he may be purged by putin.

FSB head #Bortnikov will lead the #Kursk 'counter-terrorist operation' instead of #Gerasimov. Makes sense given the (mis)labelling of the incursion as terrorism but also a clear sign Gerasimov is no longer trusted.

Odd that MoD Belousov is off the radar. https://www.moscowtimes.ru/2024/08/11/putin-poruchil-glave-fsb-bortnikovu-vmesto-gerasimova-rukovodit-operatsiei-protiv-vsu-vkurskoi-oblasti-a139147?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
