The Ukrainians appear to have launched a summer offensive… In Russia itself. Latest reporting<\/a> indicates that the Ukrainian military has taken over 400 square miles of Russian territory in Kursk Oblast. Hundreds of Russian soldiers have surrendered in the areas that the Ukrainians captured. The Ukrainians are banking on the Russians to redeploy troops from occupied areas in Ukraine to Kursk, reducing pressure on Ukrainian forces elsewhere. This offensive does not help Vladimir Putin’s or the Russian Army’s standings. To add damage to injury, the commander of a private military company has called for Putin’s removal.<\/p>\n

Zakrevsky launched a blistering attack on the Russian president during a video in which he blamed all the military failures in Ukraine on Putin personally.<\/p>\n

The head of a Russian private militia has called on the army to overthrow Vladimir Putin in what is potentially shaping up to be the biggest threat of revolt the Kremlin has faced since the Wagner mutiny last year.<\/p>\n

Georgy Zakrevsky is the founder of the Paladin PMC, one of many shadowy military groups like the former Wagner militia, that are loosely linked to the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

The private military company (PMC) has around 300 members and has fought in wars around the world, including in Syria and Africa.<\/p>\n

Zakrevsky launched a blistering attack on the Russian president during a video recording in which he blamed all the military failures in Ukraine on Putin personally.<\/p>\n

He also went on to accuse Putin of causing all of Russia’s economic and social ills, as he urged the military to rise up and free the country from the tyrant’s rule.<\/p>\n

“Our country is not just on the brink of disaster or already right next to it, our country is already in trouble – in big trouble,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Drones are flying all over central Russia, right up to Moscow and St. Petersburg. They even attacked the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

“Our Black Sea fleet is being pushed out. It’s being pushed out as if we are not a great power with a great fleet, but some third-rate country.<\/p>\n

“Our aviation is practically not working because it is also being pushed out. We are standing in the same positions that we took more than two years ago, and partly in those to which we retreated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
