The Kremlin announced, this Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the G20 Summit, which brings together the world’s 20 most powerful economies in Bali, Indonesia, early next week. The reasons for his absence were not disclosed, but one of his advisors explained that there is one possibility of assassinating the head of state.
In the cable“The reasons why Vladimir Putin did not go to the G20 summit are serious,” wrote Sergei Markov. First, because there was a “high probability of an assassination attempt” on the Russian president by “the intelligence services of the United States, the United Kingdom and Ukraine.”
In addition, the counselor and advisor confirmed that the president can also be “humiliation”. “For example, some extraordinary activists may cause the downfall of Vladimir Putin and Western social media may publish a picture [com a legenda] “The Russian president is in four.” Even Sergei Markov reveals that he is “sure” that these moves were “already being considered” by the West.
After the loss of Kherson, Sergei Markov said that “Russia’s status as a great power is in question.” Therefore, he will “put pressure” on Vladimir Putin to accept the “surrender” of Ukraine.
At the G20 summit, which begins next Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will replace Vladimir Putin.
