The “terrified” part is speculation, but potentially true.

I’ll bite, here’s a little list of the top of my head.

1. They’ve had a failed invasion of Ukraine
2. Rampant corruption
3. Putin is getting old and frail
4. Russia has a struggling economy where “Fortress Russia” is starting to fall short
5. Drone strikes from Ukraine have been able to target major Russian cities.
6. There was a mini-coup attempt by one of Putin’s closest allies where a standing army nearly made it to Moscow while shooting down multiple Russian military aircraft.
