Putin's plane - special aircraft Il-96-300PU - left Moscow at 14:16 (11:16 GMT), and headed north-west, according to the FlightRadar tracking service. The plane then disappeared off the system near the city of Tver, north-west of Moscow.

The courage of Zelensky he has not.

According to press sec Peskov, Putin is still in the Kremlin.

In other words, we don't know where he is, but we sure as hell know where he isn't.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

I take it as a given that Putin has a Kremlin Situation Room Mock Up in his Datscha

 

[Andy_Ross]

Peskov denied Putin is leaving Moscow, which in good old Russian tradition tells us Putin has left Moscow.

 

[Andy_Ross]

The courage of Zelensky he has not.

Or Stalin.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Apparently the Kalinouski Regiment has declared its intention to return to the country and overthrow Lukashenko.

They've not specified when, but call on Belarusians to stay out of the conflict in Russia & instead prepare in self-defense units and wait for their 'signal'

The courage of Zelensky he has not.

He doesn't need ammunition. He needs a ride.

 

[Andy_Ross]

To be pedantic it can only be called a coup if it comes from the coup d'etat region of France.

 

[Andy_Ross]

The governor of the Kaluga region, which borders the federal area of the city of Moscow, has said that movement on the region's roads will be restricted in the areas bordering several nearby regions Tula, Bryansk, Oryol and Smolensk regions.

Latvia has sealed its border with Russia. In a tweet, the Foreign Minister said entry for anyone leaving "due to current events" would not be considered for entry.

Estonia also tightening security at the border

When it lands in Florida will Putin's plane be greeted by DeSantis or Trump?

 

[Gulliver Foyle]

Putin has defiantly claimed that his government is "forged of the strong titanium of loyalty, bonded to the resilient carbon fiber of patriotism, capable of resisting any amount of pressure."

Nominated.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Russian air force conspicuous by it's absence. Are they waiting to see who's going to come out on top of have they already gone over?

NW of Moscow is where his favorite datsha is.

The one with the bunker.

ETA: Goddammit, it's already an old joke!

But a good one.

 

[Doubt]

Russian air force conspicuous by it's absence. Are they waiting to see who's going to come out on top of have they already gone over?

It would also be interesting to know the situation with the rocket forces and the air defense force.

Given the situation, they might still be waiting to see what is best for them rather than the county.

 

[Andy_Ross]

The one with the bunker.

Reports of military units heading towards Valdai. Going to defend the Fuhrerbunker?
They need to remember to take cans of petrol and some matches.

That is curious indeed. What air support doing?

Putin has defiantly claimed that his government is "forged of the strong titanium of loyalty, bonded to the resilient carbon fiber of patriotism, capable of resisting any amount of pressure."

Not a ringing endorsement given the quality of what passes for Titanium and Carbon fibre in Russia these days...
