According to fresh intelligence, VLADIMIR PUTIN will be deposed in a “palace coup” planned by his close circle within the next two years.

As the war in Ukraine continues on and sanctions bite, even the Russian tyrant’s friends will perceive his “toxic” behaviour as a threat to their riches and power, analysts believe, and he will be deposed.

The assessment was provided by intelligence analysts Dragonfly, who properly foresaw Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

If the West tightens sanctions, they believe “it’s likely to highly likely that President Putin will not be in the position he is within the next two years.”

Putin’s fate is in the hands of his inner circle, which consists of military, security, and commercial officials — “squat guys in ill-fitting suits.”

They are Putin’s sole confidantes, and they have been unwaveringly loyal to him – until now.

Sergei Naryshkin, the director of Russia’s foreign intelligence service, Sergei Shoigu, the defence minister, Alexander Bortnikov, a former head of the FSB internal security service, and Nikolai Patrushev, the president of Russia’s Security Council, are among them.
