Vladimir Putin 'will be overthrown' in 2026 and should face trial as a 'war criminal and a thief', according to a once‑loyal Kremlin propagandist in Moscow who has publicly turned on the Russian president and declared his rule is collapsing.
The claims come from Ilya Remeslo, a 42‑year‑old lawyer long known in Russia as a hardline supporter of the full‑scale invasion of Ukraine and a regular presence on state television.
