Vladimir Putin’s end is near. The plot to assassinate the Russian president is revealed by Daniel Hoffman, a former CIA agent specializing in Russia, a country where he served three times as head of the Moscow office: “Putin could die at the hands of his inner circle. His fate is closely connected with the fate of the war in Ukraine. Should it prove a failure, with mounting military casualties and unbearable economic sanctions on the populace, then Putin could be eliminated. They will act unnoticed so that Putin doesn’t find them and kill them first. It will happen suddenly. And he will be dead. It is not excluded that even the most loyal could decide to turn their backs on him if the situation in Ukraine should become critical and carry out the betrayal”.
Same mindset as Ronald Marks, a former CIA officer at The Daily Beast: “Even those closest to Putin will turn against him as soon as they hear that the situation in Ukraine has gotten difficult or that a major war is brewing becomes inevitable. . I think he will be safe as long as the siloviki, members of the elite security services, are on his side. He’s done a good job of getting rid of those who aren’t… It’s a country that’s going to explode, but it will take a long time… When they get hungry and it gets difficult, people take to the streets. And Putin’s end will come.”
