"As NBC News reports, the account is called "ZnotluvuiSamez," and features the Ukrainian flag as its profile picture. The account made multiple big bets surrounding the Russo-Ukrainian war, including $409,000 on a contract that asks if "Putin out as President of Russia by December 31, 2026?"
According to users' overall bets, there's currently a "11 percent chance" that Putin will be out by the end of the year.
Of course, a massive bet is far from a guarantee that Putin will no longer be president, whether through an ouster or a decision to step down. For one, Putin isn't up for reelection until four years from now — and given the country's track record, it's not like the democratic process is being in any way respected regardless.
The news comes after Moscow was hammered by renewed Ukrainian drone strikes, with former US defense secretary Leon Panetta telling NewsNation on Wednesday that "it's clear right now that Putin is cornered in this situation and is not quite sure what to do."
"He obviously ought to, frankly, negotiate some kind of ceasefire, but knowing Putin, he will continue to resist that, and Russia is going to pay the price," he added.
Ehile there's no evidence to suggest an imminent ouster, the sheer amount of insider trading on Polymarket lends the enormous bet at least some credence.
At the same time, the war in Ukraine is showing no sign of letting up, with Putin ruling out any future peace talks. In other words, it's not looking likely that the president will simply hang up his coat in the middle of a raging conflict — and after over 26 years of ruling Russia with an iron fist."

I wonder if Putin’s family are on board.
Lol!!!
I don’t click on zeeper spam links!
Btw, nice user name you got there. Communist much??
“what topics on FR interests you?’
Your comments are not of any interest to me. Typically, your
comments are completely unrelated to the topic post.
Sadly, your comments are ignored by most Freepers as their only purpose is to degrade other Freepers.
Thus,your comments are of little importance or interest.

Nice of you to stop by to say Hello, especially with your new grand baby taking up a lot of your time.
I was so, so, very sorry to see your Fellow Zeeper, Adorno, get Zotted and
banned.
It broke my heart to see this.
This is what happens when FR is flooded with uncontrolled Yook Propaganda.
Well, it got controlled again.
Maybe he can come back with a new email address and screen name.

Ukraine Waited for Russian Fighter Reinforcements to Reach Crimea — Then Blew Them Up
7-5-2026 11:40 a.m. E.S.T. (3 hours ago!)
Length of video: 30:47
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjzQnpZNscs
“Ukraine waited until Russia sent fighter reinforcements to Crimea — then launched a carefully timed UAV operation against Saky air base.
In this military documentary-style breakdown, we follow how Ukrainian FP-2 drones approached western Crimea in multiple groups, forcing Russian air-defense systems to split their attention. From the S-400 Triumf battery at Olenivka, to the S-350 Vityaz near Myrnyi, and finally the Pantsir-S1 protecting Saky airfield, each defensive layer was pressured, confused, and gradually overwhelmed.
The mission did not rely on brute force. Instead, Ukraine used timing, low-altitude flight, radar confusion, decoy maneuvers, and coordinated attack angles to open a narrow path into Saky. Once the final defensive layer was broken, the remaining FP-2 drones struck the hangar area where Russia had concentrated Su-30SM, Su-30, and Su-24 aircraft, along with fuel trucks, maintenance equipment, and support depots.”
