In the documentary Year, devoted to the war in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that in the event of Russia’s defeat, Vladimir Putin is likely to be eliminated by a member of his inner circle.
What will happen to Vladimir Putin if Ukraine wins the war? According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Russian President could well die there. In the documentary Year, the Ukrainian leader predicted that his opponent would be eliminated by a member of his entourage.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that a Russian defeat will end Vladimir Putin’s regime, leaving him in a vulnerable position. “There will certainly come a time when the fragility of Putin’s regime will be felt in the state,” said the Ukrainian president. And then predators will devour a predator. They will find a reason to kill a murderer.”
“He can’t afford to lose”
As the Times points out, the Russian leader’s close entourage consists mainly of hardline supporters, particularly former KGB leaders. Conversely, since many of them owe their rise to Vladimir Putin, we can assume that they will remain loyal to him for reasons of loyalty.
Earlier this year, the director of Ukraine’s military intelligence service, Kyrylo Boudanov, said the Russian president was “dying” because he had cancer. However, this could not be confirmed, since Vladimir Putin’s health was kept secret.
In any case, on Friday February 24, on the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, the Russian president vowed to continue his offensive “methodically”. “Today, in my opinion, Putin thinks that he cannot win immediately, but that he cannot afford to lose,” said Williams Burns, head of the CIA, on Sunday. He told CBS that he believes the Kremlin’s tenant is confident he can beat Ukraine “with attrition.”
