Coup Underway to Remove Putin from Power: Sources

According to Newsweek, Business Insider, Fortune, and other media sources, there is a coup under way in the Kremlin to remove Putin from power.
It will eventually lead to the change of leadership of the Russian Federation. This process has already been launched and they are moving into that way," Ukrainian Major Gen. Kyrylo Budanov told the UK's Sky News in an exclusive interview.
An interviewer asked if a coup is underway, to which Budanov replied, "Yes. They are moving in this way and it is impossible to stop it."
Putin has cancer and other ailments, he said, dismissing the suggestion that he was spreading propaganda.

A coup to remove him, though not without risks, is better, in my view, than Putin’s removal by death from cancer. In the latter event, Putin would undoubtedly have made arrangements for some other hard-line, Soviet-style crony to succeed him. And there’d be less chance that such a replacement would pull the plug on the Ukraine invasion.

Not completely confirmed, but based on the sources, it seems highly likely that a coup is underway in Russia.
