Putin strengthens his own security

The article reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a decree increasing the number of military and civilian staff in the Central Office of the Federal Security Service (FSO) from 785 to 812. This follows a series of security measures intensified since the war in Ukraine began. The move comes amid growing speculation about potential threats against Putin, including assassination attempts or coups. The FSO, responsible for protecting state property and high-ranking officials, including the president and his family, operates under strict protocols. Special units within the FSO handle sensitive tasks such as securing Putin’s nuclear briefcase and providing close protection. The increase marks the fourth time since 2022 that the staffing level has been raised, reflecting heightened security concerns. The article notes that personnel working closely with Putin face restrictions, such as prohibitions on using mobile phones and wearing watches. Additionally, the FSO has significantly reduced Putin’s international travel, limiting trips to highly secured locations and enhancing security during visits.

Lukašenko se kroutí z ruského sevření. Vzdoruje Kremlu, jel žalovat do Pekingu

Běloruský prezident Alexandr Lukašenko se nachází v komplikované pozici, kdy se musí snažit zachovat vztahy s Ruskem, zároveň však hledá alternativní podporu, zejména z Číny. Po tajném setkání s ruským prezidentem Vladimirem Putinem ve Valdaji se Lukašenko vydal do Pekingu, kde byl hostem čínského prezidenta Si Ťin-pchinga. Setkání proběhlo ve vládním komplexu Tiao-jü-tchaj, a i když se oba lídři nevěnovali přímému podpisování dohod, komplimenty si vyměnili. Lukašenko poděkoval Si Ťin-pchingovi za pozvání a zdůraznil, že vztahy mezi Běloruskem a Čínou jsou důležité a významné. Si Ťin-pching vyzdvihl, že vztahy mezi zeměmi dosahují „historického vrcholu“.

Lukašenko se podle informací z ruského média vydal do Pekingu z Moskvy, což naznačuje, že jeho cesta byla plánovaná a nebyla náhodná. Kromě toho se podle analýzy vyskytuje i možnost, že jeho cesta do Číny měla vztah k mezinárodním záležitostem, které mají význam pro obě země. Bělorusko, které se v poslední době ocitlo v centru konfliktu mezi Ruskem a Ukrajinou, se snaží najít nové strategie, které by mu umožnily zůstat nezávislé na ruské podpoře. Lukašenko však zároveň uváděl, že vztahy s Ruskem jsou důležité, a že se vztahy mezi Běloruskem a Čínou zhoršují.

Analýza vztahů mezi Běloruskem, Ruskem a Čínou ukazuje, že Bělorusko se snaží manévrovat mezi těmito dvěma mocemi. Ruské ekonomické nástroje mají významný vliv na Bělorusko, a proto je pro Bělorusko důležité najít alternativní podporu, zejména z Číny. Čína, která v minulosti investovala do běloruské ekonomiky, má zájem o stabilní vztahy s Běloruskem, a to i v kontextu mezinárodních záležitostí. Lukašenko však zároveň zdůraznil, že vztahy s Ruskem jsou důležité, a že se vztahy mezi Běloruskem a Čínou zhoršují.

Kromě toho se podle informací z ruského média vyskytuje i možnost, že Lukašenko se v Pekingu zabýval otázkami, které mají význam pro ruskou politiku. Analytici doporučují, že Lukašenko se snaží získat podporu z Číny, aby mohl zůstat nezávislý na Ruskem. Lukašenko však zároveň zdůraznil, že vztahy s Ruskem jsou důležité, a že se vztahy mezi Běloruskem a Čínou zhoršují.

Polanský šéf rozvědky Paweł Szota vyslovil názor, že ruské tajné služby na začátku invaze Putina dezinformovaly a přesvědčily ho, že válka skončí rychlým vítězstvím. Kreml prý zároveň nepočítal s rozsahem západní pomoci Ukrajině, zejména ze strany Polska. Szota tvrdí, že Putin je rukojmím situace, a že války se nevzdá, protože se musí doma prezentovat jako vítěz. Rozhovor zapadá do širší změny v komunikaci polských tajných služeb. Už začátkem června poskytl první rozsáhlý rozhovor od nástupu do funkce také šéf civilní kontrarozvědky ABW Rafał Syrysko. Varoval v něm, že Rusko přechází od verbování takzvaných nízkonákladových agentů k profesionálněji připravovaným operacím, které mohou způsobit skutečné škody i oběti.

Polish intelligence chief: Putin won't give up the war, must present himself as a winner

The article features an interview with Paweł Szota, head of Poland’s civilian intelligence agency (AW), discussing Russia’s ongoing military operations and strategic intentions. Szota claims that Moscow continues to push 'red lines' because it perceives NATO’s response to incidents as primarily political rather than military. He suggests that President Vladimir Putin remains committed to presenting himself as a winner despite the war’s prolonged nature, partly due to domestic pressures. Szota also notes that Russian intelligence misled Putin regarding the conflict’s outcome and underestimated Western support for Ukraine, particularly from Poland. The interview highlights concerns over Russia’s increasing aggression, potential cyber capabilities, and the role of Polish intelligence in countering threats, including covert channels with Belarusian services. It also references broader changes in Polish intelligence strategy, including warnings about radicalization among youth and growing societal polarization.

Lukašenko, který byl vyzván do Pekingu z Moskvy po tajném setkání s Putinem v Valdaji, zdůraznil silné vztahy mezi Běloruskem a Čínou a tvrdil, že vztahy dosahují historického vrcholu. Analytici spekulují, že cesta Lukašenka do Číny může být souvislá s varováním pro ukrajinského prezidenta Zelenského a zároveň s ohledem na ruskou invazii na Ukrajinu.
