Russia has driven itself into a dead end, but it can still get out of the war and not fall apart. To do this, it will be necessary, in particular, to remove the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin from power.

This opinion was expressed in an interview with Natalya Moseychuk by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov. 

“Russia cannot stop right now, because this will only accelerate its division and destruction. Russia has driven itself into a dead end, it is really possible to get out of it. with the whole world. But this automatically 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, there is not one candidate [for Putin’s successor], there are several. Some of them are leaked to the media, some are not,” the intelligence chief said. 

Budanov believes that the transfer of power can have positive consequences for Ukraine under certain conditions. 

“He will give Ukraine a plus in only one case – if they accept this paradigm of perceiving the world, they want to change. This is the first condition. The second is that we will clearly draw conclusions about what happened all these years, and we will build our life correctly. In all the rest It won’t change anything,” he said.

Change of power in Russia 

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, there have been increasing predictions that Russian President Vladimir Putin could be removed from power or even assassinated.

Experts suggest that the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin may “crumble” as a result of the coup.

In particular, Putin may be persuaded to resign in order to lift part of the sanctions against the Russian Federation.

It is assumed that in this case, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin can be put in his place, as the head of the government, according to the Constitution, he can become acting. president. 

Earlier, ex-deputy of the State Duma Ilya Ponomarev said that if instead of Russian President Vladimir Putin, his constitutional successor, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, comes to power, he will  try to stop the hostilities in Ukraine . 

British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons is convinced that today in the Russian Federation there is no successor to President Vladimir Putin, whose rule would be safe for Ukraine.

  1. Sadly, I fear that Ms Simmons is right.
    RuZZians would rather live like the Norks than renounce their bloodlust for Ukraine.
    Therefore, as General Zaluzhnyi has stated; “as soon as we win this one, I have to start preparing for the next one.”
    Which is precisely what Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery said at the end of WW1.

  2. We’ve been hearing and reading about the supposed nearing end of Vlad since this war started, over and over again, through assassinations, through deposing him and through illness. But, like a fat, tenacious tick, Vlad keeps on sticking in the flesh of humanity, sucking out its lifeblood.
    I’m afraid that the Russian people are not capable of getting rid of their parasitic leader, who is not only bringing misery to Ukraine, but to Russia itself. The Russian is used to living in a filthy shithole as a lowdown serf, drowning his misery in copious amounts of alcohol while slurring the glory of his trashed, dilapidated land. They are not comparable to the Ukrainian, who got rid of their own fat tick, Yanukovych, years ago already!

    • You’re so right Sir OFP. Russians wouldn’t know the definition of peaceful coexistence if it hit them upside their head. Why would they? They’ve been indoctrinated since 1709, fed with bullshit and reinforced with bilge scum. Unfortunately I don’t see a society like this changing easily. It will take time, years and a major tremor in the fundamentals of these vermin. I won’t see it but perhaps my great grand children.

      • I’m with you, Sir Cap. We won’t see any positive changes in mafia land during our lifetime. Of course, I wouldn’t mind being proven wrong.
