“Russia cannot conquer Ukraine, that is already clear. Unfortunately, this does not lead to changes in Russia’s foreign policy plans and tasks. I am far from thinking that Russian President Vladimir Putin is capable of sitting down at the negotiating table, at any negotiating table, with anything and doing anything that would change his vision of life,” said Russian historian Yuriy Felshtinsky in an interview on LTV’s “One to One” program.
What can happen next? Can the special services continue without Putin?
“Special services conditionally have opportunities to live without Putin. First of all, I do not count Putin among dictators, this has both pros and cons. Traditionally, a dictator is easy to “turn off”, neutralize, and when the dictator leaves, the regime changes. I do not think that Putin is a classic dictator, I believe that he is a person who was put in place by the system – the FDD (Federal Security Service) system. This does not mean that after Putin’s early or desired departure everything will change immediately and everything will fall into place. Of course not. Although I personally believe that Putin is an obstacle to any negotiations, discussions in connection with the war in Ukraine,” said J. Felshtinsky.
