Thread 🧵
telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/03/1…
For 22 years he was the one constant of Russian politics, but no wonder people are thinking much more sharply not only about a Russia after Putin, but how that may be brought about... Image
‘His brutal and ill-conceived war in Ukraine has left his army mired abroad and an economy reeling under unprecedented Western sanctions at home.'

🇺🇦 'That a military machine in which Putin has invested so much for so long could stumble and fall as soon as it steps into Ukraine' Image

“Ya UVB-76, Ya UVB-76. 180 08 BROMAL 74 27 99 14. Boris, Roman, Olga, Mikhail, Anna, Larisa. 7 4 2 7 9 9 1 4.”
