Where it stands
The possibility of a power shift in Russia is stirring international attention. The concern is not just about who might replace Putin, but about the potential for sudden, dramatic change. The Economist claims that Putin is reluctant to end the Ukraine war without a victory, fearing retribution.
The Estonian spy chief has warned that Russia is in a precarious state. The Daily Express and New York Post both cite a spymaster's assessment that Putin's inner circle is turning against him. Defence24.com suggests that Russia could undergo rapid transformation.
The question now is whether this shift will manifest as a gradual change or a sudden upheaval.
