Russian President, Putin, orders the Playboy magazine boss into the heat of war, mandating the former editor of the Russian edition to the frontlines, following unspecified disputes.
Headline: Putin Overseeing Military Exercise as Lyaporov Joins War Effort and Pletner Faces Prison Sentence
In a significant turn of events, Vladimir Lyaporov, the former editor-in-chief of Russia's Playboy edition, has signed a contract with the Moscow defense ministry, which has suspended a criminal case alleging embezzlement involving two companies in London. This decision comes as Lyaporov is now set to fight in the war against Ukraine.
Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin has been actively involved in military affairs, recently spotted in a military uniform during major war games on Tuesday. Putin was present at the Mulino training ground in the Nizhny Novgorod region, where he boasted that the practice for attacking NATO is 'taking place at 41 training grounds.'
The military exercise, which is currently underway, involves approximately 100,000 servicemen, more than 247 surface ships, submarines, and support vessels. Twenty-five foreign delegations have arrived to participate in the events of the 2025 exercise. About 10,000 weapons and equipment systems are being used.
However, the news is not all military-related. Taso Pletner, a member of the Russian protest group Pussy Riot, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison. The sentence was handed down after Pletner was found guilty of urinating on a portrait of Putin in absentia. This incident occurred after Pletner had already fled Russia.
The REN TV channel has claimed that eight people suffered losses in an alleged £445,000 scam, which Pletner has been accused of creating. Pro-Kremlin TV reports allege that Pletner was involved in a financial pyramid scheme.
Putin has also been recruiting both the convicted and accused in Russia for the war in return for dropping their sentences or charges against them. This practice has been a subject of controversy, with many questioning the ethical implications of such a move.
Lyaporov, who was appointed editor of Russia's Playboy edition in 2007, has faced accusations in the past. He has been accused in pro-Kremlin TV reports of creating a financial pyramid scheme. However, with his recent decision to fight in the war, the focus has shifted away from these allegations.
As the military exercise continues, the world watches with bated breath, waiting to see how these events will unfold. The impact of these decisions on both domestic and international politics remains to be seen.
