It would have been Nikolai Patrushevhead of the Kremlin Security Council to press the President Wladimir Putin to hasten the invasion of Ukraine. It supports it Catherine BeltonReporters from the international agency Reuters, spoke Sunday afternoon in connection with half an hour more of Lucia Annunziata on Rai3.
“In the last two years, Putin has become more and more isolated explains the journalist . Fewer and fewer people get to see him or hang out with him. In the beginning it was the oligarchs Yeltsin they could get close to him. By 2014, he was listening to her advice. But in recent years, especially during Covid, he has become very isolated in the socalled bunker, to which very few people have access, only the extremists in the Kremlin. Among them Nikolai Patrushev, his old friend, gods secret services and who now heads the Security Council and is the most extreme member of his circle.

He was once the ignorant when He decided to invade Ukraine. He thought he would be welcomed with open arms and thought he could conquer Kyiv in a few days.
