Russian dictator Vladimir Putin seriously fears that he will be eliminated by an airstrike. This was stated by Major General, former Deputy Head of the SBU Viktor Yagun in a comment to "Focus".
According to the analyst, the corresponding phobia appeared in Putin after the liquidation of a number of high-ranking Iranian generals and leaders of the radical Hamas movement. Especially taking into account the fact that Ukrainian UAVs can theoretically fly to the place of the Russian leader's speech.
However, Yagun emphasizes that the special services of Ukraine face much more interesting and important tasks than the demonstrative destruction of the president of the Russian Federation in front of his entourage.
Vasyl Bohdan, a security expert and lieutenant general of the Foreign Intelligence Service, notes that the authoritarian regime built in Russia by Putin forces a strict approach to the system of responding to threats.
This, in particular, is associated with the transfer of the Navy Day celebration ceremony from Crimea to St. Petersburg. According to the ex-head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Valery Kondratyuk, the regular arrivals of missiles on the temporarily occupied peninsula make it impossible to ensure the safety of the president.
Attempts on Putin: what is known
As I wrote, recently the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that there were several attempts to kill Vladimir Putin in Russia. According to the head of the GUR, this indicates the dissatisfaction of part of the Russian elites with the current state of affairs.
We also told why the USA will never physically remove or overthrow Vladimir Putin, even if they have the technical possibility. Intelligence expert Douglas London notes that such an assassination will not bring the United States any obvious benefit, but may bring a lot of problems, up to the point of war with the Russian Federation.
