Putin Facing ‘Tough Power Struggles’ In Russia

Putin is reportedly facing ‘tough power struggles in Russia.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Vladimir Putin’s end could happen over the next six months as political opponents will soon realise the strategic mistake Russia has made in invading Ukraine, a retired US general warned.

A slew of potential Russian opponents could soon engage in “power struggles”, Mr Hodges added.

It’s much worse to lose in Russia. And so at some point, these various power centres are going to realise that there is no positive outcome for them in Ukraine – zero.

So, you don’t want to be the last guy being loyal to the dictator if he’s going to fall.

“I think there’s going to be a lot of really tough power struggles, if you will, of some sort in Russia over the next six months.”

While it does not seem apparent at the moment, tension is brewing inside the Kremlin, and rebellion is building, Mr Hodges claimed.

He said: “It feels like it’s already happening, but it’s not burst out on the surface yet.”

Dr Timothy Snyder, an American historian specialising in Central and Eastern Europe’s modern history, said back in July that Putin’s rule is weakening amid repeated losses on the battleground.

He tweeted: “If Russia loses the war, the people saying radical things now will have protected themselves.
