Russian President Vladimir Putin 's allies in several European countries, including Slovakia , Serbia , Romania , Turkey , and Hungary , are under fire as protests have ensued against their administrations.

If the populations manage to overthrow their current governments, the world will likely see a massive geopolitical shift, which may not be in Putin 's favor.

If so many of the Russian president's allies are out of office, it may jeopardize his chances of receiving ongoing support in the war with Ukraine .

Michael McFaul , a professor of Political Science at Stanford University , on X on March 17 : "Maybe not a great time to be doubling down on befriending Putin : Protests against pro-Russian leaders sweep Eastern Europe ." With some of these protests going on for several months , it is unclear how the governments in Slovakia , Serbia , Romania , Turkey , Greece , Georgia and Hungary will appease the public.
