Vladimir Putin’s secret property, valued at over 1 billion dollars, may have been exposed after his bodyguards used a geolocation app to log their training sessions.

Several members of the Russian president's close protection team inadvertently revealed their locations, often in top-secret sites.

Four members of the Federal Protective Service were tracked multiple times between August 19 and September 22 in 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024.

The Kremlin has repeatedly denied that Vladimir Putin owns a vast estate, which is said to include a vineyard and 16 floors of underground passages.

Alexei Navalny and other independent Russian media first revealed details of the luxurious secret residence in 2021.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has acknowledged that the sanctions imposed on Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine have created significant economic challenges.

The head of state made this admission following the Russian central bank’s decision to raise interest rates to 21%—a record high since hostilities began in Ukraine in February 2022.

Despite these heavy sanctions, the IMF has projected that Russia will see 3.2% economic growth in 2024, a point the Russian leader highlighted during a conference with other government officials.
