"As long as Vladimir Putin remains in the Kremlin, the war against Ukraine will not truly end"

The film 'The Death of Stalin' illustrates how the demise of a dictator can destabilize an autocratic regime. This perspective is applied to Vladimir Putin, suggesting that the West should aim for his removal from power to create new opportunities for Russia. Despite sanctions and military actions against Russia, the core of Putin's regime remains intact. The ongoing conflict serves to reinforce his power, as he thrives on the notion of a besieged fortress and the need for a perpetual enemy. Thus, the West must adopt concrete strategies to expedite his downfall.
