The conversation revolves around a report being prepared by Maxim Sergeevich Ustinov, an assistant to Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev, for the Security Council. The report is to explain the failure of an operation in Tomsk involving the poisoning of Alexei Navalny. Ustinov is calling various team members to gather their personal opinions on the incident.
Ustinov discusses the operation in detail with Konstantin Borisovich, who was involved in the operation. Borisovich explains that the operation was planned thoroughly and that the substance was applied to Navalny's underpants and trousers. He also mentions that the clothes were treated to remove any traces of the substance.
Ustinov asks about the timing of the operation, specifically whether the plane landing too quickly was a factor in the failure. Borisovich suggests that if the plane had not landed so quickly, the situation might have turned out differently. He also mentions that the paramedics on the runway worked quickly, which could have contributed to the situation.
Ustinov also asks about the method of administration, whether it was a mistake, and whether the underpants and trousers were clean and undamaged. Borisovich confirms that they were clean and undamaged, and that the substance was applied to the inner seams of the underpants and trousers.
Ustinov then asks about Navalny's personality and whether he could have recognized any members of the group. Borisovich describes Navalny as cautious and precautious, and suggests that he would not easily recognize members of the group.
The conversation concludes with Ustinov thanking Borisovich for his time and assuring him that he will be in touch for any further details.
