Putin's Definitive Decision: No More Foreign Travel - Russia Becomes His Sole Arena
- Vladimir Putin will not personally attend the upcoming BRICS summit in South Africa, as confirmed by representatives from South Africa and Russia.
- Putin’s entourage proposed sending a double in his place, but a conversation with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa convinced him otherwise.
- Ramaphosa firmly stated that having stand-ins for heads of state at the summit is unacceptable.

Putin Skips BRICS Summit
Vladimir Putin will not personally attend the upcoming BRICS summit in South Africa, as confirmed by representatives from South Africa and Russia. Putin’s entourage proposed sending a double in his place, but a conversation with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa convinced him otherwise. Ramaphosa firmly stated that having stand-ins for heads of state at the summit is unacceptable. Putin appeared disheartened and vaguely denied any knowledge of such plans. Instead, he will participate in the summit via video link, a decision that comes as a relief considering our previous disclosure that Putin will no longer engage in foreign travel due to his health condition. Even the possibility of an exception for the Republic of Belarus seems unlikely.
Putin Discusses ‘Retaliation Strikes’ in Video Conference
During a recent video conference, Putin discussed potential “retaliation strikes” against Ukraine due to the Crimean bridge situation. Nikolai Patrushev’s presence appeared to stifle the military’s creativity, resulting in a less impressive presentation of the proposed “retribution strikes” and front’s claimed “successes” compared to the previous report. The President expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of concrete results and urged prompt fulfillment of military bloc promises. Meanwhile, a man resembling Putin chaired a meeting for Russia-Land of Opportunities, exuding enthusiasm and displaying similar behaviors to the President, though with minor discrepancies in their recollections unrelated to Putin’s past.
Public Unconcerned about Putin’s Double
The public appears unconcerned about the subtle differences between the real Putin and his double. They perceive the “president” as youthful, healthy, and energetic, giving less importance to behavioral details and information presentation. The double has successfully entered the information sphere, filling the void left by the real Putin and gaining momentum to potentially become the sole “Putin” in case of the real one’s demise or removal. During a diplomatic encounter amid the shooting near Odesa, the supreme bunker commander conveyed greetings to the Turkish president. The Kremlin’s mastermind utilized the attack on the Odesa grain port to signal discontent with Ankara’s educational policies and pro-Ukrainian stance to his “friend Erdogan.” After Putin refused to continue the “grain corridor,” the Turkish leader publicly taunted him, implying that Putin is willing to continue the grain agreement but remains unpersuaded.

Kremlin Humiliated by Erdogan’s NATO Support
The Kremlin found Erdogan’s statement deeply humiliating, especially following the Vilnius NATO summit. Turkey’s announcement of a “new stage in Turkey-US relations” revealed their support for Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO and implied a partnership with the US to counter China and Russia in the Global South. Turkey’s advice to Russia to withdraw from Nagorno-Karabakh raised concerns in Russia about possible convoys protecting grain shipments and detecting mines. Putin is hesitant to attack Turkish (NATO) convoys, as he expects Erdogan to eventually persuade him to return to the grain agreement. Russian propagandists are agitated by Erdogan’s unexpected turn to Europe, raising fears of historical claims on “originally Russian lands,” possibly referring to Tatar Crimea. The Kremlin openly acknowledges that the grain blockade targets Erdogan for allowing “Azov” fighters to bypass Russia. Adding to their discontent, Turkey’s purchase of Ukrainian grain at a discount has made them the world’s leading exporter of flour.
Erdogan’s Confrontational Move
Erdogan, known for his influence, opted for a confrontational approach to diminish Putin’s significance in the Global South, rather than persuading him to continue the agreement. The term “Global South” now replaces the outdated “Third World countries.” Somalia, an example, faced panic and soaring food prices after Russia’s withdrawal from the grain agreement. Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Yemen, considered Russia’s friends, also suffer dire consequences from the Kremlin’s maneuver. The termination of the grain agreement puts around 400 million people at risk, as estimated by the UN.
President Ramaphosa Exposes Kremlin’s Grain Promise
The Kremlin’s promise of sending free Russian grain was exposed by President Ramaphosa of South Africa, revealing the true costs of such commitments. Ramaphosa fears Russia due to past hints of war when confronted with executing the Hague warrant and extraditing individuals to the ICJ. On July 19, the Kremlin employed various tactics in its corridor strategy, including attacking Odesa’s port infrastructure, threatening merchant ships in the Black Sea, and expressing desires for the continuation of the “grain agreement.” However, their negotiation strategies seem limited, and Erdogan emerges as a significant opponent in this game. The ongoing corridor struggle between these “old friends” gains intrigue as the bunker faces constraints, mainly due to China’s vested interest in the grain agreement.
