Why does Putin not have a designated successor? | DW News Desk

Because you're not allowed to know
I think it is because once you start to groom a successor, you are seen as potentially weakened. Also, that successor may also just "do away" with the one grooming him[ ie: putin himself].😊
What if he's already created and continues to train his AI self as "successor"? Putin 2.0.
Absolutely right! A peacefull transition of power it's what keeps a country stable and Russia has never had that.
