The former head of the UK's secret intelligence service said that Putin will be replaced in due course.
Sir Alex Younger was a guest on Newsnight on Tuesday and was asked if Putin could be overthrown.
He said that he was in danger of being outflanked by his political constituency. He was castigating him for not going far and hard enough because he was his support base.
Wark told Younger that Putin's replacement could be further to the right.
Younger said that they need to be careful what they wish for. I think that will happen in the future. Critics from the right will replace him.
According to several reports, Putin's inner circle may be against him.
According to Yevgenia Albats, editor of the Russian-language magazine News Times, 70% of the elite around Putin were against the war in Ukraine.
According to the Washington Post, a member of Putin's inner circle had disagreements with the Russian leader over the war in Ukraine.
Insider spoke to experts on authoritarian regimes who said that a coup against Putin was possible, but that the Russian leader had spent decades scheming to keep his job.
