Vladimir Putin will not attend upcoming peace talks in Istanbul, reflecting his increasing vulnerability and fears of assassination amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. With significant troop casualties and diminishing resources, analysts speculate that his leadership is teetering on the brink. Commentators suggest that both domestic instability and international pressure are closing in on him, raising the stakes for his safety. Heightened security measures, including the use of body doubles, indicate a profound paranoia. The situation in Russia appears dire, with resources dwindling and a lack of basic necessities, further complicating his grasp on power.
Col Hamish de Bretton-Gordon stated, 'There are analysts, people who know better than I, who believe Putin is now a dead man walking, a spent force whose war in Ukraine will cause his end.'
'Things are looking very bad in Russia as even the US now seems to be looking at conciliation with Ukraine as Trump is realizing he has been played by Putin.'
Colonel Richard Kemp noted, 'There are plenty of people who would want to have Putin bumped off. But his security is so tight that there is a real question over whether that could happen.'
