Vladimir Putin is reportedly panicking about a member of his inner circle scheming against him after his Navy Day parade ended in humiliation. Abbas Gallyamov, a former Putin speechwriter turned critic, said the Kremlin went into a tailspin after the event went over poorly with the public. Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Main Admiralty to meet with commanders on Navy Day in Saint Petersburg, Russia on July 26. In an interview on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov bizarrely hailed Putin as a godsend. Shortly after his Navy Day humiliation, Putin predicted that Ukraine would ultimately fall apart in an attempt to save face.
