Russian coup could send Vladimir Putin ‘to the grave or retirement’, ex-minister warns

As Russian troops edge towards Ukraine's capital Kyiv, ex-foreign minister Andrei Kozyrev has claimed Vladimir Putin could be ousted by a Kremlin coup as tensions in the country grow

He told The Times: “Many Russian tsars were killed. Many were dismissed one way or the other.

“Even in the Soviet Union, there were ways; Stalin was said to have been poisoned, Khrushchev was just escorted out of the Kremlin.

“With Putin, I very much expect there to be resistance growing and discontent growing that will be resolved one way or another.

“I don’t know which way but Russian history is full of unexpected outcomes.”

Speaking about Putin's decision to invade, Mr Kozyrev said: “It’s horrific but it’s not irrational. To understand why the invasion was rational for Putin, we have to step into his shoes.”

Mr Kozyrev, who now lives in Miami, believes Putin is not insane, but "simply wrong and immoral".

It comes as reports suggested Russian forces made progress overnight from north-east Ukraine in their fight to reach the capital Kyiv.

In an update on Saturday morning, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said fighting to the north-west of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv continued, with the bulk of Russian ground forces now about 25 kilometres from its centre.

Elements of the large Russian column north of Kyiv have dispersed, the MoD added, which it said is likely to support an attempt by the aggressors to encircle the city.

Kyiv mayor and former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko believes there are nearly two million people still left in the city that is being attacked on several fronts.

He said Kyiv had enough vital supplies for a couple of weeks and supply lines remain open.

It is feared the capital could face the same fate as Mariupol which has encircled for days.

Mikhail Podoliak, adviser to Ukraine’s hero President Volodymyr Zelensky, said although Kyiv was under siege it was ready to fight.

He added: “The defence is well thought out and supply has been adjusted.”

Mr Podoliak vowed Kyiv’s defenders – troops and civil defence members – are “charged, focused and professional.”

He added: “The full political leadership of the country is in the capital.”

Ukraine says Moscow’s forces are killing more civilians than troops in artillery bombardments and air strikes on cities throughout the country.

It is believed more than 12,000 Russian soldiers have died in fighting while in excess of 2,000 Ukraine civilians have been killed. The toll on Kyiv’s troops is unknown.

Meanwhile, the UK Government is intending to further ramp up pressure on the Kremlin with plans to ban exports of luxury goods to Russia in the latest move to isolate Putin.

Furious Russian mothers accuse Vladimir Putin of deploying their sons as 'cannon fodder'
Mar 7, 2022

The Telegraph

Angry Russian mothers have accused Vladimir Putin of deploying their sons as "cannon fodder" in his invasion of Ukraine, according to video footage of a confrontation with a regional governor that emerged on a day when police in Russia detained 4,500 anti-war protesters. 


In the video, Sergey Tsivilev, governor of the Kuzbass region in Siberia, stood forlornly on a stage in a school gym as angry soldiers' mothers accused the Kremlin of lying. 

"We were all deceived, all deceived. They were sent there as cannon fodder, "one woman shouted. "They are young. They were unprepared." 

As Mr Tsivilev, shuffling and mumbling, tried to frame Putin's invasion of Ukraine as a "special operation" and not a war, he was shouted down. 

"This is a special operation and, at the moment, nobody can give comments about the special operation," he said. "These guys were used..." 

"Used!" One mother interrupted. "So our children were used?" 

It is not clear from the video, below, who the women are, and whether their sons have been killed in Ukraine.
