There are several candidates for succession.
Russia has driven itself into a dead end, but it can still get out of the war without collapse. This will require removing Russian dictator Vladimir Putin from power, basically.
The head of the Ukrainian Defence Intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, expressed this opinion in an interview with Natalya Moseychuk.
“Russia cannot stop right now, because this will only accelerate its collapse and destruction. Russia has driven itself into a dead end, it is really possible to get out of it. This is an acknowledgement that all this happened erroneously, going beyond the administrative boundaries of 1991 and the beginning of building some kind of dialogue with the whole world. But this inevitably means a transfer of power,” says Budanov.
According to him, certain preparatory processes for the removal of Putin from power are already underway.
“There is rivalry, it's not just one candidate [for Putin's successor], there are several of them. Some of them are leaked to the media, some are not,” the head of intelligence is convinced.
Budanov considers that transfer of the power can have positive consequences for Ukraine under certain conditions.
"It will give to Ukraine plus only in one case – if they accept this paradigm of perception of the world and want to change. This is the first condition. Secondly, we will clearly draw conclusions about what happened all these years, and we will build our life correctly. In all other cases, it will not change anything,” he said.

He is a hugely popular president who was elected.
You sound more like a fascist liberal every day.
“Putin is dying/being removed” alert # 537.
I hope you are paid by the post.
Well, there’s a hard and fast source right there. 🙄
Stop spamming and polluting this forum with that garbage.

If it’s true, why would he warn Putin by talking to the media?
“garbage”
You are entitled to your opinion. My Freep mail indicates my posts are much appreciated by others.
TIP: Just ignore posts that are not of interest to you.
NO,NO,NO!
To compare the Russian military to the Faber College Marching Band is simply wrong.
A quick glance shows them marching in step and following their Band Captain.
The Russian troops march to the sound of a different drummer.
Boris Badinov?
I wish I could, but it’s difficult to do when you and your pals pollute and clog the news feed with this garbage. Day in and day out.
Most of us wouldn’t care if you only ran a thread or two a day, but you have to put up multiple propaganda threads a day and frankly, a lot of us are sick of it.
I hope you at least donate to FR since you’re using Jim’s forum as an aggregate for pro-war, pro-Biden propaganda spam. And you should pitch in more to compensate for the decent people you’ve driven away from here.
More BS propaganda.
There’s something wrong with you and for sure you have no business being on FR.
“We could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives.”
Who’d think that line would come true? God forbid.

I think everyone should be very careful.
Putin just had his little celebration where celebrated his victories and waved his magic scepter and incorporated large areas into the Russian fold.
So how could he have a party celebrating a success that never happened? Either he has been lied to and has no idea how his war is going...or he has gone completely mad and has no idea about anything.
In either case he is a very dangerous man. He is the epitome of a cornered animal, a desperate one at that. Never forget that desperate men do desperate things.
Pray that the Russian Military will keep him from doing desperate things., for in this case “desperate” means nukes.
We have to hope that the Russian military will keep him under control.
“hugely popular president who was elected”
VERY, VERY DOUBTFUL!
Consider this:
Russian Communist Party candidate has refused to accept her recent election victory, saying that the voting was rigged.
Daria Bagina, 23, ran for Moscow’s parliament in Constituency 37 and won all the districts there this past Sunday. But in a series of tweets Tuesday she said she does not recognize the voting results and does not consider her win legitimate.
The recent local and regional elections in Russia took place against the backdrop of Ukraine’s military counteroffensive in the southern Kharkiv and Kherson regions. Over the past two decades, Russian elections have been notorious for allegations of fraud and rigging.
“I do not recognize the results of such a vote, and I cannot consider my mandate as legitimate,” Bagina said. “I still have a lot to figure out in order to understand why this was necessary and what I should do with it later.”
Bagina wrote that in her six years in politics she has never felt so “morally disgusted.”
President Vladimir Putin’s ruling party has frequently won elections by massive landslides, but it has tried to maintain democratic legitimacy by allowing other parties to participate in races.
LIKEWISE:
“Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has called the referendums a “sham” and “fake,” comparing them to a similar referendum that was held in Crimea before it was annexed by Russia in 2014.
‘
Yeah you bet. Hitler was a popular elected leader as well
Lots of propaganda here on Free Republic these days - sources from anyone and little means to verify anything.
This conflict continues and the dust has yet to settle so even then I suppose Ukraine will say it’s a victory regardless of the outcome.
Oh noes😩😩😩😩. Not multiple threads!!!!
