The rumors of a potential coup have been making the rounds and Putin has gone as far as to use body doubles for public appearances as well as Kremlin meetings with Russia's top military officials.

Russia's leader has reportedly been growing more aggravated as the invasion of Ukraine has gone on far longer than anyone in or out of Russia could have estimated.

The top brass in the Kremlin thought the taking of the nation's capital of Kyiv would take only a matter of days, but due to failure after failure on the Russian army's front, Ukrainian soldiers have been able to hold off the sacking of their capital for well over a month now.

This has led Putin, as well as the Russian troops to become disturbingly aggressive as the war wages on with reports of civilian attacks with missiles. Commanders have even allegedly told Russian troops to fire on anyone and everyone with the orders "kill them all" reportedly given to some units.
