Putin cannot do the only thing his hardliners demand – to win the war, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) say

A reshuffling of senior military leadership will not solve the systemic problems that have hampered Russian operations, logistics, defense industry, and mobilization since the invasion began.

Scapegoats can only temporarily divert criticism from Putin, and the emergence of outright condemnation of Putin's leadership among the most dedicated hardliners is likely a harbinger of coming discontent.
