Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service chief Kaupo Rosin warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s grip on power is now more fragile than ever, citing mounting domestic dissent, economic woes, and international isolation. Rosin’s remarks come amid growing concerns over Russia’s political stability, as protests, corruption scandals, and a faltering economy erode public confidence. The statement signals a shift in the assessment of Russia’s internal resilience and could influence how foreign governments and analysts gauge the Kremlin’s future trajectory.


Kaupo Rosin, the director general of the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service (EFIS), said last week that Putin's hold on power was at its most delicate it has ever been.
