Putin Black Sea retreat demolished as Russian leader fears visiting—report
Russia's president only spent eight days at his Sochi residence in 2023, in contrast to an average of over 30 days annually before the Ukraine war.
Part of Vladimir Putin's summer residence has been demolished with the Russian leader seemingly increasingly reluctant to visit the property on the Black Sea because of the dangers posed by Ukrainian drone attacks, it has been reported.
Independent Russian investigative outlet Proekt (Project) said satellite imagery shows that the main building of the Bocharov Ruchey property in Sochi had been demolished in February and March, leaving a pit and construction equipment in its place.
Cant the CIA finally just kill this arsehole? They kill everywhere else around the world, why not do it where its actually needed?
There was no summer holiday for the Putins this year?
Now is the winter of his discount tent.
C'mon, Pooty-Boo. I thought you were a big, strong vigorous man? why are you afraid of getting near the front lines?
Where's the man who rode grizzly bareback? hmmm?
I can't wait to see his body hung upside down by his own people
If Russia has a French Renaissance and Putin is... Handled it would probably solve a fuck ton of world issues overnight.
That once in a generation reminder that no matter how wealthy you get, there are more of us than there are of them.
The upside down hangman was Italian though, Mussolini wasn't loved much at the end of his career.
satellite imagery shows that the main building of the Bocharov Ruchey property in Sochi had been demolished in February and March, leaving a pit and construction equipment in its place.
Completed in 1955, Bocharov Ruchey is in the Tsentralny district of Sochi, and has played host to visits by numerous world leaders.
It is located around 160 miles south of what has been dubbed "Putin's palace," a $1 billion site which came to widespread public attention in 2021 in a film by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny's Anti Corruption Foundation (FBK).
It's more like he doesn't need it anymore since he's got that new billion dollar palace now.
This was on my wishlist this year for Christmas. Destroy his regarded Black Sea mansh. Fuck you Pustard
I don't get it. Why? What is the point?
Maybe he's thinking about what would happen after he dies and the press were to tour the place? Navalny published pictures of it a few years ago and it was ridiculously opulent.
That's not the place that Navalny's team published the photos of. This one was more like a dacha. His Palace is even closer to Ukraine, but way too expensive to be demolished like that. He has been there only a few times since it was built.
Yeah, I saw that report, it was absolutely ludicrous. But that just makes me wonder even more. Why destroy a thing when you've spent millions of (buckets of) rubles and years to build it in the first place? Just because Ukraine could destroy it someday? Why not just... not visit anymore? I really don't get it.
Probably to prevent the bad optics of Ukraine blowing it up with their new long range drones. His residence was about 600km away from the frontline, well within reach.
