Putin's military mobilization could prove to be major blunder, expert says
Putin is facing unrest but is unlikely to lose his grip on power
Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a "partial mobilization" that will compel citizens to join the fight in Ukraine could backfire on the authoritarian leader, causing unrest that risks weakening his grip on Russia's population.

"There’s a growing discontent among the Russian people with Putin’s policies," Rebekah Koffler, a former DIA intelligence officer and the author of "Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America," told Fox News Digital.

Koffler's comments come after Putin's partial mobilization, announced last week, stirred widespread chaos in Russia, with reports of Russian men fleeing the country by the thousands and violent demonstrations that the Russian leader had so far been able to avoid during the months-long invasion of Ukraine.
