The Defense Intelligence learned that as of today, Moscow is most afraid of a coup or the collapse of the Russian Federation, states Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

"Their biggest fears? Very simple, two things. First is a change in the regime in Moscow. And second, what they fear today, is the fragmentation or collapse of the Russian Federation," states Skibitskyi.

The representative of the Defense Intelligence emphasizes that to maintain the integrity of Russia, Putin needs to pursue the current policy.

Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Russian economy is beginning to crumble.

Later, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov stated that the West should prepare for the collapse and disintegration of Russia, as the Soviet Union previously faced defeat.

In his opinion, the collapse of the Russian Federation could take anywhere from 3 to 7 years.
