Conflict in Kremlin intensifies: Putin punishes Lavrov, keeps elderly minister under pressure

According to the report, it is possible that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will resign following the failure of talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the breakdown of Putin-Trump talks in Budapest. However, the likelihood of such a scenario remains minimal. Russian opposition politician and former State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev explained this in an interview with Glavred.

The report also stated that Putin was indeed dissatisfied with Lavrov's actions. He also emphasized that Lavrov has long been seeking to resign, as his financial situation is stable, his son-in-law is well-off, he has no financial difficulties, and his work has recently become too stressful. Therefore, it would be incorrect to say he is clinging to his position.

The report also said that Lavrov suits Putin perfectly, who is generally very cautious about personnel changes. Even when deciding on rotation, he avoids steps that could be seen as punishment or a response to pressure. Therefore, if Lavrov is at risk of losing his position, it certainly won't be now. But Putin wanted to demonstrate that Lavrov had overstepped his bounds and shown too much initiative, and that this didn't reflect the Kremlin's position.

The report added that the 76-year-old diplomat, who has headed the Russian Foreign Ministry for more than two decades, did not attend a key meeting of the Russian Security Council on November 5, where Putin discussed the possible resumption of nuclear testing, which ceased in 1990. According to a Kommersant source, Lavrov's absence was agreed upon, but he was the only permanent member of the Security Council to miss this key meeting.

In addition, the Russian dictator Putin and war criminal has once again avoided attending the G20 summit, which is being held this year in South Africa, a state that has ratified the Rome Statute and is obligated to arrest Putin under the International Criminal Court warrant.

Lavrov's situation and his potential departure from the Russian government appear to be more complex than they seem. While some reports suggest he might resign due to tensions and his own dissatisfaction, it's also explained that Putin prefers to keep Lavrov in his post, as he finds him useful and reliable. It's interesting how Putin handles these moves, avoiding changes that could be perceived as punishment or pressure, and preferring to control everything from the shadows. Lavrov's absence from the Security Council meeting and his absence from important events like the G20 summit could be a sign that something is at stake, or perhaps simply a strategic gesture. However, I don't believe his departure is imminent, at least not for now. Politics in Russia is always nuanced and full of maneuvering, and we'll have to keep a close eye on the next moves.

Putin lacks compassion a testament of being a communist . He spares no one even to the old Lavrov. The decision to resign from his post is a good decision dine by Lavrov. The evil deeds of Putin cannot be fathomed.
