Shoigu’s passage about “Russia’s agreement to Turkey’s proposal to abandon strikes on energy facilities, but Kyiv did not agree to such agreements” deserves special attention.
In addition, according to him, “Putin agreed not to attack the commercial and civilian fleet of Ukraine.” And they said, “it was a big surprise for us when Ukraine refused to go to this agreement.”
This version of events is presented for the first time by Russian officials. The Washington Post reported on August 17 that the parties were apparently starting to discuss mutual rejection of strikes on energy infrastructure (on Ukrainian power plants and transmission lines and on Russian refineries and oil depots). At the same time, the merchant fleet was not mentioned in that publication.
💬 No direct or indirect negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv regarding the safety of civilian objects of critical infrastructure have been conducted and are not being conducted, the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sakharova said in person the very next day after the publication.

The first victim of Putin’s war near Moscow
“Russia must be ready to repulse possible military aggression in any direction…” Putin declared, opening the Russian Navy’s Ocean 2024 exercise on September 9. As it turned out, neither Russia nor Moscow are ready.
On this day, nine regions of the Russian Federation experienced a massive drone attack. The suburbs of Moscow stand out separately. In Ramenskyi (less than two hours from Moscow), a 46-year-old woman was killed and three more people were injured due to a UAV attack (according to rosZMI).
IN FACT, in August 2023, in Moscow’s Strogino district, the local grandmother was already “come by the Ministry of Emergency Situations and ordered to say that her oven exploded , and not a UAV flew into the window . ” In August of this year, 10 drones attacked Moscow . The first three were shot down in Podolsk (where the central archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is located), a city approximately 10 km from the Moscow Ring Road.
But those times were without victims. And this time it happened. And this means that Putin has already passed this bloody milestone. He is to blame for the death of a woman from the suburbs of Moscow, because no drones flew in Russia until February 2022.
In this way, the myth about the reliable protection of Moscow and the region about how EW devices jam UAVs and knock them off course was once again dispelled.

According to some experts, it is the strikes on Moscow and the region that can make Putin really think about ending the war. It is possible for him to sneeze at the Belgorod region and even capture the territory of Kursk, because there are no people there for him. He is only interested in Muscovites. That is why the dictator floods them with money. (It is estimated that 10 times more is spent on a Muscovite than on a resident of the Kursk region). And now they already feel fear, and it can eventually turn into discontent, which is what Putin is afraid of.
After all, the third season of the TV show called “SVO goes according to plan” takes place not in Ukraine (and not even in the Kursk region), but literally in the Moscow courtyard. Perhaps the “needle of the Kremlin’s Koschei” is really hidden in this “egg”.
Shoigu whines “menacingly” about the negotiations
And it was at this time that “Russia 24” for some reason decided to put the half-forgotten Shoigu on the air. Yes, this time he did not say that “our armor is strong and our tanks are fast”, but he threw in a whole series of narratives known since the time of the USSR. For example, “if Russia had been accepted into the EU in the 90s, today we would have lost our sovereignty. Our resources would be stretched. We would live like other EU countries – we were targeted from across the ocean and we are ready to comply.”
But the most interesting thing is that the person who headed the Ministry of Defense of Russia for almost 12 years , and is now the secretary of its Security Council , says that ” there will be no peace negotiations until the armed forces are expelled from the territory of the Russian Federation, and the attempt to seize the Kursk NPP is a higher level of terrorism.” “.
IN FACT , as we can see, the “terrorist” narrative in the coverage of the “situation in the Kursk region” continues to be stubbornly promoted by Moscow. But, first of all , it is Shoigu who should be the first to ask himself personally: what actually happened to Russia’s defense during his direct leadership of it?
Secondly, he should address the same question to himself as the Secretary of the Security Council. After all, the same “Kursk anomaly” arose already during his stay in this position.
Thirdly, the Ukrainian military-political leadership has never voiced its desire to seize the Kursk NPP. But this is exactly the pretext that Moscow stubbornly uses for nuclear blackmail of the world community.
Fourthly, at the same time, Shoigu does not consider the seizure of the Chornobyl and Zaporizhzhya NPPs to be a “higher level of terrorism” (the latter is still under occupation).
Fifthly , and most importantly, the former defense and now general security “star” of Russia in such an indirect way is already whining “menacingly” about the negotiations and tying it to the “Armed Forces in the Kursk Region”. And this is symptomatic. So everything that happens in it is not in vain.
