A paranoid Vladimir Putin is boosting already tight security at the Kremlin amid fears of Ukrainian sabotage attacks as Kyiv’s forces continue their offensive on Russian soil.
The Putin regime is seen as deeply worried by Ukraine’s unexpected push into the Kursk region where Zelensky‘s men now control dozens of Russian settlements and are conducting extensive artillery and drone attacks on the Belgorod region.
The strengthening of security measures at the Kremlin was reported by BAZA news outlet which has links to law enforcement.
Moscow is ‘constantly monitoring threats, including possible penetrations of sabotage groups’, said the outlet.
‘Security of the territory in the centre [of Moscow] and around the Kremlin has been strengthened.’
It comes amid fresh speculation that the dictator will soon seek a new round of mobilisation despite its expected unpopularity with his people.
The Kremlin was attacked by a kamikaze drone in May 2023 in what Putin’s officials said was an assassination bid on the autocrat.
Another strike is feared on Russia’s seat of power.
