Several security agencies may join in the anti-Putin coalition.
A number of generals of the FSB and the Defence Ministry may unite against dictator Vladimir Putin as a result of the AFU's successes on the battlefield, former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service, Army General Mykola Malomuzh, has said.
"This could be either a coup in the centre of Moscow or the creation of political forces and armed formations, which will be in communication with the leaders. There could be a symbiosis of the military, the security services and politicians like Sobyanin, the mayor of Moscow, who, as we know, was the head of Putin's administration. It could be Kirienko, Mishustin, who suits many people but is a front figure, because the security services will run this process and they will negotiate with them," he did not rule out in an interview with Glavred.
The interlocutor did not rule out the possibility of creating various formats of an anti-Putin coalition, however, creating a real anti-government military force in the Russian Federation would be very difficult.
"Yes, it could be a conspiracy, which could involve Prigozhin, who could come up at some stage, and Girkin could pull up, and the Chechens would be included in the format of such a force somewhere, because they have combat structures," he said.
Along with this, the General of the Army thinks that if several security agencies such as FSB, GRU of the Russian General Staff, or special anti-terrorist forces are united, they may become much more effective than the Wagner forces.
"Therefore, it will be very difficult to do anything with them. If they unite under the banner of some commander, they will be invincible. And most importantly, they control Putin, his entourage, all the offices, and this is the closest access. For in this situation various scenarios are possible - it could be Patrushev together with Bortnikov, it could be Shoygu with other participants, Zolotov could get involved, betraying Putin personally," Malomuzh added.
