Vladimir Putin is being targeted by another military group who warns the ‘world is in danger'

Vladimir Putin has been under a lot of scrutiny this week due to the presumed death of the Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin. Prigozhin was allegedly killed in the plane crash that took place on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, along with 9 other people.

The remaining mercenaries of the Wagner group allegedly want to seek revenge on the Russian President as they believe he was behind the crash. However, they may not be the only military group that is threatening the current Russian leader.

Indeed the Legion Svoboda has now allegedly targeted Vladimir Putin for a second military coup. The first took place in June 2023, by Prigozhin, which is why some believe Putin was behind the crash as a way to seek revenge. The Kremlin has denied any involvement in the crash.

Vladimir Putin is facing armed revolt

As reported by Newsweek, the internal state of Russia is becoming more and more fragile and the Russian government is facing an armed revolt. It is believed that the reason for the growing upset in the country is due to the Ukraine War lasting longer than it was originally meant to.

Indeed the Ukraine invasion was only supposed to be a short intervention but has now reportedly caused around 200,000 Russian casualties. As a result, groups are now allegedly forming to plan an attack on the Russian President.

According to Newsweek, groups that are in favour of the war are now showing anger towards their government notably due to the presumed death of the Wagner chief.
