'Paranoid' Putin shouting at staff – expert explains 'classic signs of an impending coup'

The president is reportedly fearful of growing opposition to the war in Ukraine, including through the highest ranks of the Russian government. Military leaders are said to be furious about the struggling invasion as Russian forces withdraw from some areas of Ukraine, including near the capital Kyiv.
Russian forces have grappled with logistical challenges such as trouble refuelling and a lack of supplies and have failed to take control of many key Ukrainian cities, meeting strong resistance from Ukrainian troops.
Moscow’s military has also suffered heavy losses, with US military intelligence estimating that between 7,000 and 15,000 soldiers have died since the conflict began on February 24.
Experts have said that the floundering invasion may be fuelling mutiny within the highest ranks of the Kremlin.
