Only one more Russian needs to die to end the war on the people of Ukraine
and that is Putin. They missed with a bomb about 1/2 a year ago under one
of his cars. BTW this bomb might have been from Putin if he saw that General
Sarvarov wasn’t on his team anymore.

They have been striking deep inside Russia, but with drones and missiles, and going after economic targets. It doesn't seem very likely they would have done an operation like this unless they thought it had a chance of killing Putin. I doubt Putin would ride in any car that had not been under very tight control of his protection force.

There is a lot of suffering in Russia now and a lot of unrest. There could be plenty of people wanting to hit Putin's inner circle hard. Or Putin could have a reason for filling the guy. Either way, Putin is in big trouble.
