Kremlin plots to replace 'toxic' Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin's days as Russian president are numbered as the Kremlin plots to replace the despot amid the disastrous war in Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin's days as Russian president are numbered.
It has been claimed that the "toxic" despot's Kremlin allies are trying to figure out who will take over from him as they have become sick and tired of the military failures in Ukraine.
When Putin first ordered the invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago, he claimed that it would be won within 72 hours but Moscow has now lost an estimated 700,000 soldiers.
Official intelligence from Kyiv has revealed that Putin is running out of time following the International Criminal Court's decision to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Andriy Yusov, from Ukraine's military intelligence directorate, said: "The circle around Putin is narrowing.
"(He is becoming) more and more toxic. Within the Kremlin, there is more and more dissatisfaction with what is happening.
"There is an increasingly gloomy understanding of the prospects, specifically the geopolitical catastrophe of the Putin regime.
"Thus, the search for Putin's successor is already under way."
Meanwhile, a former US Army General has claimed that Putin's troops are facing "total collapse" by the end of the year.
Ben Hodges, who served as a commanding general in the United States Army in Europe, has predicted that Russian forces will lose the war of attrition in Ukraine.
He tweeted: "Russia is being attrited at such a rate that they may collapse before the end of this year, assuming the West delivers in time what we've promised. War is a test of will and a test of logistics."
