Commander calls for Putin to be overthrown as Russia is ‘on the brink of disaster’

A Russian commander has called on the Russian Army to overthrow Vladimir Putin as Russia is “in big trouble.”

Georgy Zakrevsky is the founder of the Paladin private military company (PMC) made the call for Putin to be removed and this could be the start of a Kremlin revolt.

Paladin has some 300 battle hardened mercenaries and have taken part in many wars and battles across Africa, Syria and other places globally.

Zakrevsky launched a scathing attack on the Russian leader and blamed Putin directly for a vast number of failures with the Russian economy, the war in Ukraine and now Kyiv’s incursion on Russian soil.

The Express reported that he said, “Our country is not just on the brink of disaster or already right next to it, our country is already in trouble – in big trouble,” he said.

“Drones are flying all over central Russia, right up to Moscow and St. Petersburg. They even attacked the Kremlin.

“Our Black Sea fleet is being pushed out. It’s being pushed out as if we are not a great power with a great fleet, but some third-rate country.

“Our aviation is practically not working because it is also being pushed out. We are standing in the same positions that we took more than two years ago, and partly in those to which we retreated.

“The population is dying out, becoming impoverished, drinking itself to death – no one cares.

“All they have time to do is bring in migrants. And all this was done by the so-called ‘president’ – ‘The Great’ Putin.”

Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Monday that his forces now controls more than 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory in the Kursk Oblast.

Oreshkin told the Kyiv Independent that since Ukraine started their full-scale invasion in Russia, which has not been seen since 1941is clear to the Russian people and the Kremlin that “things aren’t going as well for Putin as he’s trying to present it.”

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 the Kremlin was sending a message that they are “invincible and stronger than everyone,” but this has backfired and Putin has been dealt a massive blow to his reputation.
