Boris Bondarev was until May of 2022 a Russian diplomat working in the foreign ministry and posted to Moscow’s mission to the United Nations activities in Geneva.

Disgusted with the war, Bondarev publicly resigned and criticized the war unleashed by Vladimir Putin.

Sham "referendums" in occupied regions of Ukraine, a mobilization of Russian conscripts and more nuclear threats from the Kremlin don't indicate a Russian victory anytime soon.

With protests spreading in Russia, and hundreds of thousands fleeing conscription, how much has the catastrophic war in Ukraine undermined Vladimir Putin's hold on power?

Bondarev spoke to Tim Sebastian from an undisclosed location about the future of the Putin regime.

"He's put himself in a situation where there are no good exits," Bondarev said.

How real is the nuclear threat? How to do Russian officials expect the West would respond to a nuclear strike from Moscow?

Let us know what you think in the comments below.
