Igor (Strelkov) Girkin, the Russian terrorist paramilitary who shot down the Malaysian Airlines aircraft, has uploaded a video speech on Telegram calling for Putin to resign if he doesn’t have the capabilities to see the war in Ukraine go through. Girkin has also criticised Putin before Prigozhin’s coup attempt.
Girkin has also uploaded this statement which I am uploading via Google Translate.
As a result of the rebellion Now everything is possible. Initiate and close the gravest criminal case on rebellion. Kill Russian pilots and get no punishment. Take the city of a million people hostage. March to Moscow. Arrange an armed rebellion. Return the gazelle with unaccounted cash. Well, and a lot more. Now, in the minds of society, all the past “sins” of the opposition are nullified. If Putin does not arrest Prigozhin, and does not remove Shoigu and Gerasimov (this is the minimum), then in 24 he may not be re-elected. The authority of his vaunted vertical of power is now completely destroyed almost everywhere. It is clear that if there is a lull now, then in the year 24 it will be quite possible to repeat the coup or rebellion. As a result of the rebellion Now everything is possible.
