Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been going on for almost a month. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin in February laid off all his personal employees fearing they could be poisoned. According to reports, it is not clear whether the staff was replaced before or after sanctioning a military operation in Ukraine. According to reports, those who were sacked include cooks, washermen, bodyguards etc.
Planning to remove Putin from the presidency?
The Daily Mail quoted Ukrainian intelligence reports as saying that Putin’s poisoning is not entirely unfounded as Moscow’s elite officials are plotting to “poison” Putin and describe it as an accident. A group of influential people in Russia has reportedly begun planning to remove Putin from the presidency and even put a successor in line, the Daily Mail reported.
Ukrainian intelligence reports claim
According to Ukrainian intelligence reports, the 70-year-old director of the Federal Security Service, Alexander Bortnikov, is one of the key players in planning to eliminate Putin. However, the Federal Security Service is a major supporter of Putin and the agencies knew about things before the war broke out. Bortnikov’s relationship with Putin is believed to have worsened in recent times.
Plans to remove Putin due to sanctions?
Reports suggest that sanctions imposed by Western countries since the Russian invasion of Ukraine are hurting Russia’s economy. This is being said to be the main factor behind the plan to ‘poison’ Putin. Such things could be rumors affecting the Ukraine war. But the seeds of uncertainty about leadership and Putin’s personal life have always been shrouded in mystery. In the wake of the war, many analysts have questioned Putin’s prudence and many claim that the former KGB agent is suffering from serious illness.
