Yeah. voice-verified

Um Vladimir Putin has obviously led Russia since I I don't know if it was the late nineties, early two thousands, since around nineteen ninety nine anyway, it might be two thousand one. voice-verified

Um voice-verified

But Vladimir Putin has obviously been in charge of Russia for 25 years, either as prime minister or president. voice-verified

Um, and his stranglehold sort of continues. voice-verified

I saw actually in this parliament, it was it was the strongest result ever for the United Russia Party. voice-verified

As I say, the difference between these parties is it's sort of questionable as to how meaningful any of that is, because ultimately they all sort of bow to what Putin wants, and Putin is totally in charge over there. voice-verified

You know, we saw that with um voice-verified

you know, the challenges he faced from that guy, uh, the former leader of the voice-verified

The Wagner group back in 2023, you know, how that went for him. voice-verified

You know, he obviously died in a mysterious plane crash later. voice-verified

Um, so challenges to Putin's authority don't tend to go very well. voice-verified

Um, and he is just continuing to, I suppose, increase his stranglehold on Russian society. voice-verified

And what we actually saw in this election was a number of uh veterans of the Russia-Ukraine war being elected to the parliament. voice-verified

So if anything, that only further strengthens, you know, Vladimir Putin's hold on Russian society. voice-verified

Um so voice-verified

It's it's a pretty disturbing time. voice-verified

I think we've noticed over the last few months that the fighting between Ukraine and Russia has actually intensified this year. voice-verified

And there are pretty major worries being sounded out by intelligence services across Europe that Vladimir Putin is getting ready for a major mobilization later this autumn and that this war could actually intensify further. voice-verified
