Kozyrev argued that the Soviet-Afghan war should have been a history lesson to Putin who was a senior KGB officer at the time.

He said, “It also started with an invasion and looked like the Soviets were winning.

“But after that, the West provided assets like Stinger missiles and then it became evident that the ground war started to fall apart . . . the Soviet Union had to evacuate its forces and was defeated.

“My prediction is the same for Russia now . . . the probably very dramatic outcome, like the Soviet Union, of collapse.”

Putin is also facing daily condemnation by many Kremlin and government officials including billionaire oligarchs who were once friends of the Russian dictator.
Kremlin officials have savaged Putin over his “clusterf*** invasion” of Ukraine with many calling the war a “mistake” which has caused a serious “political crisis in Russia” which will lead to the dictator’s demise.
