Intelligence reports confirm the possibility of an uprising.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is afraid to end the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this in an interview with CBC News.

According to him, Putin fears for his life. The dictator is afraid that the war in Ukraine has not brought the Russian Federation the desired results, so if it ends now, it could anger the occupiers.

“They really think that if they stop right now, it won’t be a victory. It will be quite the opposite. Therefore, if he maintains this position, he fears that the soldiers will return, will be enraged, and will turn against him,” Zelenskyy noted.

Both Ukrainian intelligence and Putin’s inner circle consider an uprising by a million Russians against the Kremlin leader a possibility. That is why the dictator is afraid to stop at this stage of the conflict.
