Russian commander rebels against Vladimir Putin and calls for a coup

“Our country is not only on the brink of disaster or already close to it, our country is already in trouble, in big trouble,” he warned in the recording. “Drones fly throughout central Russia, as far as Moscow and St. Petersburg. They even attacked the Kremlin.”

“Our Black Sea Fleet is being driven away. It is being expelled as if we are not a great power with a great fleet, but a third-rate country,” he continued. “Our aviation is practically not working because it is also being displaced. We are in the same positions we took more than two years ago, and partly in those to which we have retreated.”
