Like it or not, but it’s true.” Budanov claimed Putin was in a “confused” state mentally and has “significantly reduced people’s access to people”.  Asked if he believes Putin is grooming a successor, Budanov said this was an “interesting question” suggested his medical condition has made him “manic” and stopped him. “Looking at some of his manic syndromes, he is likely to be afraid to seriously prepare a successor, realising that in preparation, this successor may want to take the chair a little earlier than Putin himself wants.  “Therefore, he keeps everyone at a certain distance. And he believes that he will rule forever. But it will not be so.” Budanov said there was an “unsuccessful attempt” against the Russian President’s life at the start of the war against Ukraine.  It was not left clear who was behind the alleged attack or where it took place. The outlet said the full interview will be aired tomorrow.

Putin was said to travel everywhere with the elite shoot-to-kill sniper unit.
