There is a mutiny building inside the Russian army right now and it’s targeted right at Putin.
Russian commanders who are fighting for Putin until last year are recording public videos now and telling him straight that they are done dying on suicide missions for him.
They want him to either stop the war or they will turn the guns around and march on Moscow.
Now, if that gives you deja vu, well, you’re not crazy.
We watched this exact thing happen two years ago when a guy named Yagwini Pogoan said almost the same thing and then actually marched on Moscow.
Now I’m sure some of you guys remember how that ended.
So the same question rises now.
Is this the crack that finally breaks Putin’s war machine or is it just notes? Now I’ll be straight with you guys.
Two weeks ago, I came across a leaked report that I didn’t cover on this channel because honestly, it read like wishful thinking.
That report actually called this uprising 5 days before it actually happened.
So, by the end of it, we’re going to try to answer the whole question that everyone is asking.
But let’s start at the beginning.
Take a listen to this clip that Russian commander published just few days ago.
>> June 25th, 2026.
Today, a representative of the servants of the people came by.
Yesterday, I met with representatives of highranking officials from the Ministry of Defense and Security Agencies and they delivered a message to Vladimir Vladimir Putin that if he does not grant me an audience on live television where I will tell the whole truth about what is happening in our country right now.
At the moment, dozens, hundreds, thousands of our soldiers are sitting in dungeons, punished by their commanders.
They are sitting there rotting, being subjected to torture and violence by the so-called Gestapo.
They are there because they refuse to carry out stupid suicidal orders.
They are there because they refuse to hand over their financial assets and in the end they are eliminated.
Declared missing Vladimir Vladimir, please take note of this.
Invite me for a meeting.
The consequences could be very serious.
If in the near future I do not come to the Kremlin and speak live on air next to you, the army will turn its weapons against the Kremlin.
I am only passing on the message.
That is all.
>> Now you tell me, does that not sound like Prigo? He said the exact same thing and then he led a column of armed men 15 km or 1500 km towards Moscow.
Well, 2 months after he ended his coup, he was dead.
So, in this video, I want to walk you through what’s actually happening inside the Russian military right now.
Why a leaked report from 2 weeks ago predicted this mutiny and what is the Kremlin’s response.
And then we’ll look at what exactly happens to the Russian officer who recorded that video.
My name is Sam and you’re watching Business Basics.
So, let’s start with the man behind the video that started this whole thing.
Because to understand why that appeal is so dangerous to Putin, we have to understand who that guy is.
Why is he speaking so publicly? His name is Alexander Lunan.
He’s actually a former Russian officer who until last year personally commanded a volunteer battalion that was fighting on behalf of Putin inside of Ukraine.
He has men who followed him, who served under him, and likely still respect him.
And that’s important because, as he said in a later interview, this video that he made public was much more than just a personal complaint.
In an interview with a Russian media outlet after the video went viral, Lunan claimed that senior Russian defense officials actually came to him physically before he filmed this video, and they came to ask him for help.
They came to ask him to film this video because they wanted him to be the public face of an appeal that they could not make themselves.
Defense officials said that they were fed up with how this war was being run with the meat grinder tactics of the front lines and with the lack of supplies that the frontline soldiers were receiving.
That’s why they wanted Putin to feel the pressure and they needed a public figure outside of the official chain of command to apply the pressure for them.
The video was originally posted on Instagram, then re-uploaded across Telegram channels and other social media platforms where Russians actually get their news, but the original video alone has more than 10 million views over half a million likes.
Repost probably pushed the total exposure to maybe 50 million people, and that’s insane.
Now, of course, this does mean that Kremlin was forced to respond to it.
The story just got so big, they couldn’t just ignore it, and questions were being asked.
So, the Kremlin did actually respond to this.
But before we get to the response, I do want to show you guys that this video is having like cascading effects.
It h it’s having an after effect.
Other people are now speaking out in support of this guy.
Take a look at this clip where multiple Russian soldiers who are part of a battalion are now supporting this appeal posted by Alexander and they’re doing so publicly too.
Take a look.
Compatriots, we Russian soldiers stand in support of Alexander Lunan and strictly declare that this fire can no longer be extinguished.
We demand a direct line between Alexander and Putin and we demand the truth.
Otherwise, we will turn our weapons against those who harm our own soldiers.
All the best.
So, this is clearly growing.
And before we get into Kremlin’s response, I do want to show you guys that report that I was mentioning at the start of the video.
A report that came out roughly 2 weeks ago pointing at something like this.
But unfortunately, I decided that we should not be covering that on this channel because to me at that point, it seemed like it was just wishful thinking.
But here’s that report.
The general staff of Russia is on the brink.
Russia’s military leadership is reportedly nearing open revolt over the Kremlin’s decision to divert fuel from the front lines to Moscow.
Senior officials are said to have little sympathy for the capital, which after strikes on the oil refinery now fears fuel shortages, long lines at the gas stations, and public panic.
According to these reports, the general staff believes Moscow is once again being protected at the expense of the troops.
The capital needs gasoline to maintain an appearance of normality, while the military needs diesel for armored vehicles, ammunition deliveries, and recovery of damaged equipment.
Several department chiefs have reportedly told Gerisumov directly that no serious offensive operations are possible without adequate fuel supplies.
Now, this is where it’s important to remember the famous quote from General Persing.
Infantry wins battles, but logistics wins wars.
Well, I’m guessing Russian generals know about that quote and that’s why they’re speaking to the main guy.
This is the head of the Russian military.
And I’m guessing some of those generals probably went to the first guy because he himself said that he made that appeal after people from the defense department came to him and showed him all the proof.
And we’ll talk about what this proof is later in the video.
But first, let’s finish out this report.
If tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and aircraft are forced to conserve fuel for the sake of Moscow, assault operations may once again fall primarily on infantry units, resulting in significantly higher casualties.
As a result, tensions between the government and the general staff are reportedly growing and could become increasingly difficult to contain.
And guess what? This report came out a while ago and we are seeing it happen in the public eye right now.
Now, let’s talk about the Kremlin’s response because they actually had two different response.
First response was a public response that everyone can hear to, but there was a second response behind the scenes that Kremlin didn’t really talk about, but we can see from reports coming out from people who support this guy.
So, let’s go through both responses, starting, of course, with the public one.
Take a listen to the public response from Kremlin spokesperson Dimmitri Pasc when he was asked about this clip.
And here’s how he responded.
>> You were told that there is such an appeal, but we haven’t had a chance to read it yet, so I wouldn’t say anything, but judging by your words, there are some rather strange formulations.
We need to read it first.
>> Now, this seems very professional.
You know, he was calm.
He basically said, “Hey, we don’t know what this is about.
I will look into it and then we’ll respond.
But unfortunately behind the scenes, calmness wasn’t there.
Before we look at that response though, I do want to quickly detour through how Kremlin handled the last man who made an appeal like this.
Yaguenui Pogan.
So let’s quickly go through some memes that basically recap what happened.
And now you guys know the rule with this section.
Hit the subscribe button down below if you enjoy any of these memes.
Let’s start.
First meme is actually a pretty fake Vicky How article which basically says 15 tips to negotiate a great salary.
First one, threaten a coup by driving 1500 km to your boss’s office with thousands of troops and vehicles.
Not to forget tanks and all that other kind of stuff.
Unfortunately, did not work out well for Picosian, but not a bad idea if you guys need a raise.
Let’s go to the second meme.
Here we have 2 months after that coupjian just flying around in his private helicopter over Russia when he sees something coming towards his jet.
That also did not work out well for Persian.
And then the last meme is definitely my favorite one.
We have Putin looking at the footage of who exactly killed Persian and then finding out it’s actually himself.
Now let me know in the comments which one is your favorite and let’s shift our focus back to the serious stuff.
Let’s look at how Kremlin is responding to this whole fiasco behind the scenes.
Reports have appeared that Lunin has been detained for 11 days and his home was searched by Russian authorities.
Then we also had Lunan himself put out a secondary video where he’s basically saying that hey he’s not rebelling against the country.
He’s basically saying that army needs to be treated better and he’s just raising that issue with the commander and chief Vladimir Putin.
He does not want to cause any kind of rebellion.
I think you can probably imagine what happened behind the scenes for him to put out this video just few days after his original video.
I’m guessing that he got a stern warning from Kremlin that hey, gravity that’s a very dangerous thing in Russia, especially if you’re speaking out against Putin.
So, he definitely changed his mind.
Now, unfortunately though, this isn’t the only problem Putin is facing.
Now that the Russian army is actually having recruitment problems, Putin has turned to forceful mobilization where the draft orders are just giving out going out to Russians and then police officers are showing up at their house and basically arresting them and sending them to the front
lines.
Well, guess what? In some villages, people especially family members of these uh soldiers who have been drafted, they’re not very happy and thus creating a big problem.
Take a look at the clip on your screen.
As the Russian government ramps up its brutal program of force mobilization, the wives and mothers of men that were disappeared from the streets of Pensa, which is a region in Russia, and held for days until agreeing to sign contracts attempt to stop the buses, carrying them off to a military facility.
And as if this
wasn’t bad enough, we also have the United States putting more pressure on Russia.
Now, as some of you guys already know, because of the Iran war and the oil prices shooting up like crazy, there were some sanctions relief exemptions that were signed to basically let the countries or let the world buy Russian oil so they can continue getting the supply they need.
This was a very very good news for Putin because prices were high and Russia was one of the few countries that had excess supply that it could sell to you know whichever country wanted to buy.
So Putin profited a lot from that probably tens of billions of dollars.
And this is exactly why we are now seeing language coming out of Russia that’s changing.
We had foreign minister Sergey Lavra just recently say that hey Russia is open to negotiations but it’s the United States that’s not holding up its end of the bargain.
Rav is saying that US agreed to something in Alaska when Putin and Trump met.
US is not really fulfilling that part of the agreement.
Take a listen.
We are ready to resume them at any time from the exact point where they stopped.
Apparently, last year someone told the Ukrainians again.
No need for any steps to extend the dialogue, let’s just fight.
So now they are fighting.
But I will say once again that every time the president speaks on the Ukrainian issue.
He emphasizes that we unequivocally prefer a political and diplomatic settlement.
This settlement existed.
Its parameters were largely discussed and agreed upon in Alaska almost a year ago.
When the American negotiators put forward their program and their plan of action, we agreed to that plan.
Its implementation was supposed to lead to the start of negotiations on the details of an already political settlement.
However, as you can see, I don’t even want to suspect that Alaska, like the European actions, was conceived to buy time for the rearmament of the KV regime.
I don’t even want to think about that.
But in the end, things turned out the way they turned out.
>> Well, guess what? This is something Russia has been saying since Alaska, since that meeting took place.
basically implying that US kind of agree to give up on Ukraine so Ukraine can capitulate to Russia and Russia can take over Donbas without actually fighting for it.
That’s what the Russian side has been implying all this time saying hey US told us that we deserve Donbos but they’re not really delivering on that promise when in reality there was no such agreement in place.
What actually happened was the Russian side saying hey we’ll stop this war if you convince Ukraine to just hand over Donbos and US said that’s not going to happen.
And that’s not just me saying it.
We had Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that just yesterday.
And he was in the room.
I was not in the room.
I was nowhere close to Alaska.
But Rubio confirming exactly what I’m saying.
Take a listen.
>> Russia is accusing the US of failing to deliver on quote unquote miss agreements that understanding that we had in in Alaska.
Keep >> there was no agreement in Alaska.
There was a proposal in Alaska, but there was no agreement in Alaska.
If there had been an agreement, we would have had an end of the war.
Now for our last segment, we again have a clip from our exclusive video that we’re publishing for members.
Here we have former Navy Seal Chuck Farm breaking down a footage that’s coming from the front lines in Ukraine.
Take a listen.
It’s extremely educational for me, so hopefully you guys enjoy it, too.
Take a look.
Russians think they have found a Ukrainian tank that’s broken down, but then they realize it’s a Russian tank.
>> Yeah, that’s what’s that’s what’s going to happen.
Uh Ukraine has the western tanks are much more survivable.
An M1 Abrams is almost impossible to destroy.
You can immobilize it, but it’s one of the most survivable places to be on the battlefield is inside an M1 tank.
So, the Russians are delighting over this.
Uh but uh you know, this is one of their own carcasses.
And again, what the Ukrainians will do, they will get a mobility kill on this vehicle, but they will always come back and make sure that it it can never be recovered, repaired, you know, they will keep hitting it till it looks like this.
>> I guess this is the p curiosity question.
Once you let’s say it’s immobilized, right? A tank.
How do they get it out of the front line? >> Well, they’ve got tank recovery vehicles.
So, they’ve got tanks that it don’t have a turret, but they’ve got a big, you know, tow truck >> because it’s it’s much more cost- effective to repair a tank.
Even if it’s significantly damaged, it’s it’s cheaper to fix it up than it is to uh, you know, to get a new one.
But the Russian tanks, you know, they have that problem.
They’ve got the ammunition carousel in the crew compartment, which is why we see the flying turrets and which is why they are not survivable.
You know, if they take a hit to the crew compartment, I mean, the turrets going into orbit of Uranus and these guys, I mean, it’s over in an instant with these guys cuz they’re sitting on the ammunition and bags of propellant.
So, you know, we’ve also seen the tourists will fly, but you’ve also seen all the hatches blow open with blowtorrches of fire coming out of them.
And it’s a it’s a design flaw.
They’re never going to fix this until they design totally new tanks.
>> I guess a lot of tanks would do need to be redesigned considering how much drones we use now, right? >> Yeah, absolutely.
it.
You know, I I was speaking today with one of my colleagues at the Kev Post, and we were talking about, you know, one, it’s hard to believe now, but 1,000 days ago, there was no such thing as a first person drone that killed tanks.
It just didn’t exist.
And, you know, I worked in the industrial military complex.
If you came in to Rathon a thousand days ago and said, “Look, I’ve got a $500 drone.
It’ll kill tanks.
” Rathon will say, “Look, we’re in the we’re in the business of selling $270,000 Javelin missiles, right? They kill tanks.
Your your hob your DJI drone isn’t going to do it.
” But nobody said that in Ukraine.
They said, “Let’s give it a try.
Let’s go.
Let’s let’s do it.
” And we’re looking at the perfect reason why.
It has fundamentally changed ground warfare.
Armor is not extinct.
It’s not obsolete anymore.
But armor going forward has got to deal with what is the primary threat now which is a first.
