Putin ‘facing military coup’ over latest nuke threats

The Metro says Vladimir Putin could be replaced in a ‘military mutiny’ if he prepares for a nuclear strike, a security source has said.

The 69-year-old, who turns 70 tomorrow, has previously threatened to use ‘all the means at our disposal’ if his country is threatened.

President Volodymyr Zelensky warned this week he feared the Kremlin wasn’t ‘bluffing’.

But a British security expert says any concrete moves to deploy a nuclear strike would spark a Kremlin coup.

‘A military mutiny is the most likely end for Putin’s rule’, the source told the Mirror.
