Vladimir Putin's plans to detonate nuke were 'sabotaged', insider claims

Vladimir Putin's plans to detonate a nuke were 'sabotaged', it has been claimed.
An insider has said the Kremlin is 'sabotaging' his plans to use atomic weapons or there may be issues due to technical failures. In recent days, there have been a series of NOTAM messages (Notice to air missions) and linked Russian navigation warnings indicating tests or live firing drills.
So far, there has been few indications of any major testing, although the final date for such disruption in the Barents Sea is October 22. At the same time, the Mirror reports that there were also claims earlier this month that Putin ordered two nuclear missile tests which, in fact, did not take place.
Valery Solovey, an expert on the president and former professor at Moscow’s prestigious Institute of International Relations [MGIMO], a training school for spies and diplomats said: “[Putin’s] decision on the use of tactical nuclear weapons [in the Ukraine conflict] would no doubt face resistance.
“I don't know how effective the resistance will be but I will indicate [that] nuclear tests were supposed to be held over the past two weeks, one in the Barents sea, underwater, and the second underground, in Arkhangelsk region. Both times the tests were not held.”
He alleged: “The reason is that before the launch, or more accurately, before the use of tactical nuclear weapons, it is necessary to make sure these weapons are fully operable… They had to be tested.”
But both times the potentially dangerous were “disrupted”.
“The president got reports that there was an emergency situation, that it didn't work out” - implying technical failings. Putin insisted that the tests are held in the future, said Sololvey. He has also claimed the Kremlin leader has made a decision

Vladimir Putin adviser: Brittney Griner's release not a priority
An adviser to Vladimir Putin has insisted Brittney Griner's release is not a priority for Russia. The 31-year-old basketball star - who normally lives in Houston, Texas with wife Cherelle Griner - was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling in Russia just days before the country launched the ongoing invasion on Ukraine in February and in August, she was sentenced to nine years behind bars. Although US President Joe Biden has vowed to ensure the sportswoman's freedom, Yury Ushakov - one of the Russian leader's top advisors and the country's ambassador to America from 1998 to 2008 - suggested this was nothing more than a bid to bolster support ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

Putin Claims U.S. Wants to Push Gender “Perversions” on Russian Youth
LGBTQ Nation.Addressing “all the citizens of Russia,” he said, “Do we want to have, here, in our country, in Russia, parent number one, number two, number three instead of mom and dad? Have they gone mad out there? Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed on children in our schools from the primary grades? To be drummed into them that there are various supposed genders besides women and men, and to be offered a sex change operation? Do we want all this for our country and our children?”Putin’s remarks were a well-timed attempt to blunt criticism from the West of elections, held in Russian-sympathetic territories in eastern Ukraine, in which voters allegedly chose to secede from Ukraine and join Russia.
