The only bad transit that I can see in Putin's chart is Saturn conjunct IC, opposing MC, and Neptune square his Mercury. There will be Uranus square his IC/MC in the summer of 2023.
Are these enough to explain Putin's failure? Or is it also predicting that Putin can still hold on to power after losing big time in Ukraine?
I see what you are saying, and of course we don't know the houses either, His chart is rated DD, so not reliable.
BUT considering the one available to use, Tr Saturn Tr Venus is also squaring his natal Jupiter which is rx in natal chart.
His angles because of the unreliability of the tob, really should not be relied on.
Neptune square his Mercury is likely the BIG- HUGE lies he's told his country's citizens, the soldiers as well if the feedback from the soldiers is to be believed:
His Army is lamenting this war, saying they are comprised of mostly morons.

A reporter for Public Radio in France said this today, about the recently released young Mayor:
@ElBeardsley
Incredible testimony on BFMTV from this mayor of Melitopol who was kidnapped for several days by the Russians. He says they had no idea what’s going on. They told him we’re here to get the Nazis - he said I’ve been in this town 30 years and I’ve never met one…. then they said//
well we’re here to help the Russian speakers snd he said 95% of us speak Russian and we’re fine. They said they heard that the World War II veterans of the town had been beaten in the patriot day and he said au contraire they’re venerated and there’s not very many of them left.
