Paranoid Putin's Hiding Place Revealed as He Vanishes for Weeks

Russian President Vladimir Putin is retreating into bunkers amid fears of assassination, according to sources cited by The Financial Times and Russian outlet IStories.

Putin and his family no longer visit their residences around the country, according to sources close to Putin and European intelligence services. Kremlin staff have been dissuaded from using public transport, face-to-face meetings have been reduced, and security checks have increased.

The disappearing act comes after a drone strike hit an upmarket apartment building around four miles from the Kremlin. The attack was five days before the annual Victory Day parade—which celebrates defeating the Nazis—was held in Moscow’s Red Square.

Paranoia about assassination attempts via drone attack has risen since March, according to a source close to European intelligence.
