Western Intelligence Report: Putin Fears Coup Amidst Escalating Security Force Conflict
A secret report from a European intelligence agency indicates a worsening political situation in Russia، with President Vladimir Putin reportedly fearing a coup. The document suggests escalating internal conflicts within Russia's security forces are contributing to political instability.
Internal Threats and Political Strife
According to the report، concerns about a potential power transition or actions against Putin have been present in the Kremlin since March 2026. The threat of assassination attempts، possibly using drones، is considered particularly high.
A significant point highlighted in the report is the alleged connection of former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to coup fears. Due to his considerable influence within the Russian military leadership، speculation suggests his potential involvement in anti-government activities. Shoigu has served as Chairman of the Security Council since 2024.
Speculation Regarding Shoigu and Political Ramifications
The report interprets the arrest of Ruslan Tsalikov، Shoigu's former deputy، on March 5th as a 'breach of the silent agreement among elites.' This event is believed to have damaged Shoigu's reputation and increased the risk of him facing investigation himself.
CNN has noted that no concrete evidence has been presented to corroborate these claims concerning Shoigu. Furthermore، there is speculation that the report itself might have been leaked with the intention of destabilizing the Kremlin.
Putin's Personal Security Intensified
The report also details enhanced personal security measures for Putin. Surveillance systems have reportedly been installed at the homes of his close associates. Cooks، guards، and photographers serving the president are allegedly prohibited from using public transport. Visitors to the president undergo two security checks، and those working closely with him are restricted to using non-internet-connected phones.
These measures are said to have been implemented following the death of a high-ranking general in recent months، an event that reportedly caused friction within Russia's top security echelons.
"These measures reflect growing unease within the Kremlin as it grapples with mounting challenges، including domestic and international economic difficulties، signs of increasing public discontent، and setbacks on the front lines،" the report states.
The publication 'Important Stories' has reported that it can confirm several conclusions from the report، specifically noting that multiple sources have corroborated the information about Putin's fear of a coup or loss of power.
