    Russia’s appointed Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who leads Putin’s Cabinet, acknowledged on Monday that Russia faced “a challenge to its stability.”

    I bet, Putin showed clearly, that he is weak and a coward. Russia can’t have him as a leader for long after that. Because Russia stronk, or at least they want to appear that way.
