Internal coup in Kremlin is most likely option for change of power in Russia - MP Nalyvaichenko

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV. 

“I predict that the further defeat of the Russian economy and the Russian army will lead to internal wars for power. Therefore, it is likely that Putin will be removed by his own henchmen. This is one of the most likely scenarios - a mutiny in the Kremlin and Putin's elimination. This is exactly the scenario that we and our partners predict,” Nalyvaichenko explained.

The lawmaker emphasized that the collapse of the Putin regime is not far off.

“That's why Putin is now organizing Stalinist punitive regimes inside Russia. All his decrees and bills are aimed at only one thing - to punish all those who disagree, to intimidate anyone who doubts, and to destroy anyone he points his finger at. This is already the agony of Putin's regime, which is sliding into a serious abyss,” he added.
