Quote: "Russia will be fragmented, and the world must prepare for this."

Details: According to him, the West should abandon the illusion that Russia will remain in its current form. The Kremlin "cannot control such a large territory, it does not have the ability to do so," Danilov said.

Danilov has said that the Wagner Group’s mutiny has shown that "Russia is not a state". "The West must understand that Russia is fragmented and there is no force that can hold it together," he added.

Danilov has said that during the Wagner mercenaries' rebellion, Ukraine analysed how the Russian regions had dealt with it.

Quote: "We have an analysis of how the regions reacted during Prigozhin's rebellion. I can say that based on these analyses, we are able to state what Russia will look like after the collapse... Tatarstan will be separate, Dagestan will be a separate country that has nothing to do with Russia. These are colonies of the Russian Federation."
