Putin Hasn't Left the Kremlin for a Week Out of Fear of an Assassination Attempt — Media Reports

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has not left the Kremlin grounds for about a week. At the same time, even Russian officials are revealing almost no details about his meetings and activities behind the Kremlin’s fortified walls.

According to media reports, this behavior may be linked to fears of a possible assassination attempt. According to journalists, deep-seated suspicion and fear for his own safety are forcing the Russian leader to spend more and more time in his fortified residence.

According to reports, the Russian dictator refused to leave his secure compound for at least a week, retreating into ever-greater isolation and relying almost entirely on a carefully vetted inner circle for personal communication.

Despite his refusal to leave the secure compound, Putin’s official schedules indicate a series of high-level meetings held entirely behind closed doors within the Kremlin’s corridors.

Путін боїться за свою безпеку

Over the past seven days, Putin’s physical movements have been strictly limited to the innermost chambers of official reception halls, where he received key Russian figures and foreign allies.

Among those granted rare access was North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui, who was photographed shaking hands with Putin before sitting down for talks at a large white oval conference table alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

The Daily Star reports this.

Putin announced a new system for supplying fuel to occupied Crimea.

Ukrainian UAVs attacked energy facilities and air defense systems in occupied Crimea.

Russian troops have intensified offensive operations in the direction of Hryshyne, where they are conducting assaults involving infantry and motorcycles. According to DeepState, the occupiers are also attempting to infiltrate toward Vasylivka and Novooleksandrivka.

Citizens of African countries who signed contracts with the Russian military and were taken prisoner by Ukraine say they do not want to return home. Instead, they are asking to be exchanged and returned to Russia.
