Putin just shut down Moscow to stop a coup

Описание: Something strange is happening inside Russia.

For days, people in Moscow have reportedly been dealing with major internet disruptions. Apps stop working. Payments fail. Even calling a taxi becomes difficult. In a modern capital built around digital infrastructure, that kind of disruption brings everyday life to a halt.

At the same time, the atmosphere around the Kremlin is becoming increasingly tense.

Senior officials are being arrested. Military commanders are disappearing from public view. In Russia, where power is tightly controlled from the top, signals like this often point to growing pressure inside the system.

Many analysts believe Vladimir Putin is increasingly worried about instability within his own elite. The war in Ukraine has not gone according to plan.

Russian forces are losing ground in key areas. Ukrainian strikes are targeting logistics hubs and supply routes. Modern communications tools such as Starlink and encrypted messaging platforms allow Ukrainian units to coordinate quickly on the battlefield. Meanwhile Ukrainian drones are striking high-value systems like radars and S-300 air defence platforms.

Videos circulating online show Russian soldiers and commanders openly complaining about the situation, furious with leadership and blaming the Kremlin for the failures they are seeing on the front.

But the story is more complicated.

Because while pressure is building inside Russia, the chaos unfolding in the Middle East could also bring the Kremlin an unexpected opportunity. Rising instability around Iran has the potential to drive energy prices higher, something that could bring billions into Russia’s war economy.

To understand what is really happening and what it could mean for the future of the war, I spoke to Bill Browder, one of the world’s leading experts on the Kremlin and the man behind the Magnitsky sanctions campaign.

In this conversation we break down the pressure inside Russia, the growing anger in the military, and how global events from Ukraine to Iran could reshape the Kremlin’s strategy.
