VLADIMIR Putin is losing grip on power and his regime faces total collapse as "predators" circle around due to his disastrous handling of the war in Ukraine, claims a KGB expert.
Putin can no longer keep at bay competing power groups that want to take over the Kremlin.
The Russian investigative journalist said Putin faced a "lunch of the predators" and a "war of all against all" in his inner circle.
More than two decades ago Albats wrote The State within a State about how the Soviet-era KGB secret service had taken control of the new Russia.
Now she sees Putin - a former KGB spy - losing his ability to control the powerbrokers because of his seriously weakened political state by his blunders in Ukraine.
“The fight has begun inside the very top echelons of Russian power,” she told independent Russian TV channel Rain.
“We are witnessing the lunch of the predators.
“What’s happening now is a key manifestation of breakdown within the power [structures].
“And of the fact that Putin can no longer act as mediator between various interest groups - that the war of all against all has begun….”
Albats - forced to flee Russia in September after being declared a “foreign agent” - said: "And I want to hope this will crash this inhumane regime, [which is] killing people in Ukraine and its own mobilised people in Russia.
“And Putin can no longer serve as a mediator, which is his key function. Therefore, he [Putin] is next.”
She pointed to a number of recent incidents showing Putin’s real power seeping away.

Well, this is the first I’ve heard of this.
This sure will not help Putin’s Parkinson’s and cancer treatments.
What she is saying above is that Putin used to have an iron grip. That due his failed Ukraine war, that other powerful people are asserting themselves. That Putin is powerless to stop them
You can tell just by the headline it’s a UK tabloid.
But are the walls closing it, that’s what I want to know.

And that a Zeeper believes it’s real
Well who really knows....
Please post more fake news like this.
We love it
“More than two decades ago Albats wrote The State within a State about how the Soviet-era KGB secret service had taken control of the new Russia”
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.”
Deep state over there too.
LMAO
As long as he is willing (and able) to shoot citizens down in the street, there will be no threat to his regime.
Former KGB Colonel - for those who have forgotten.
Yes, the Sun used to have a really good looking half naked babe’s picture in each issue.
Nobody in Russia has heard about it either. LOL
Question is are there 4 walls, or like in Batman from the 60’s is it just two walls? You know. With the spiky things in ‘em.
This is what inquiring minds need to know.
Prayers for Putin.
It never ends well for dictators does it?
If Putin should lose his grip on power, or simply die, would what follows be any better?
He was a lawyer.
Putin surely deserves whatever BAD comes his way. The war has killed tens of thousands on both sides and it’s singularly his fault.
Cant trust the British press at all about Russia—pure propaganda, 100% guaranteed
