Maria Pevchikh said the #Russian opposition leader was going to be exchanged for Vadim Krasikov, a Russian hitman who is serving a life sentence for murder in Germany.
Two US citizens currently held in Russia were also going to be part of the deal, Ms Pevchikh claimed.
She added that negotiations were at their final stage on 15 February.
Knowing US MAGA Republicans, Donald Trump, and House Speaker Mike Johnson have procedurally blocked all US military aid to Ukraine, Putin is depleting Ukrainian Air defenses by overwhelming it with missiles; 110+ Russian rockets last night alone across Ukraine!
Putin and the Republicans will leave the Ukrainians defenseless against the Russian barbaric onslaught!
'There's a photo of #Prigozhin serving wine to George w. #Bush in the #Kremlin when he visited decades ago. And there's a photo of him at a meeting between President #Putin and various members of the #Russian military elite with representatives of #Libya , a country where #Wagner#mercenaries were believed to be active'
"It’s frankly scandalous that #Russia, after having terminated the Black Sea grain initiative, is blocking and attacking Ukrainian ports. This must stop."
I totally agree. #NATO must send the navy to open the #BlackSea ports. But of course, they are all words and no action, scared of boogeymen #Putin and his mafia state of #terrorists. What a bunch of cowards NATO turned out to be. Totally useless.
“My ex-husband wanted to go fight — he claimed it was his duty,” she said. “I said, ‘No, you have an 8-year-old daughter, and it’s a much more important duty to be a father to her.’”
“People are dying there in Ukraine for nothing,” she said.
He finally understood and stayed, she told me'
#Putin’s self-destructive genocidal regime was pushing all this in this direction & q now is how many oligarchs he’s kept under thumb will bolt & if military will either join or simply stand down. They’re all tired of this
Meanwhile, no one is talking about nuclear weapons. It’s bad. We have no idea what a terrified, cornered Putin will do. For that matter we have no idea what this murderous group of mercenaries would do with them. None of this breeds confidence.
'Despite sanctions, the Kremlin’s war chest is still overflowing with cash, thanks to windfall energy profits last year and also to the adaptability of Russian commodities exporters, who have found new customers and who settle payments mostly in yuan' (cont.)

Reports= #Wagner boss turns troops back from Moscow. Doesn’t make sense. #Putin ordered #Prighozin killed. How does he walk that back? How does P survive after this? Putin never forgives nor forgets #Russia
To which Garry Kasparov replied:
It's a mafia not a state & they will walk back or swallow anythg that's profitable. Infighting rarely is.This also exposes stupidity of saying Putin needs offramps or to save face in Ukraine. He's a dictator, can make up anything he wants
The Russian military has turned to “mass recruitment” of women from prisons and detention facilities to fight in the Ukraine war.
The first group of 50 incarcerated women was sent to the front in January from a detention facility in the Luhansk “people’s republic”, according to Olga Romanova, founder of the Russia Behind Bars human rights organisation. #AureFreePress#Ukraine️ #Russia#Putin#EU#NATO#Zelensky#war#news#Moscow#USA
This is what a traitor to the United States looks like in 2024.
His name is Tucker Carlson.
He took a large amount of money from Vladimir Putin to interview him, give him a hyped up positive spin, and then blame President Biden for the war in Ukraine.
