Security around Russian President Vladimir Putin has tightened significantly as fears of assassination and coup attempts grow amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Reports indicate that Putin now spends much of his time in underground bunkers, particularly in the Krasnodar region of southern Russia, where he directs military efforts while avoiding civilian engagements. This isolation has intensified since the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Federal Protective Service (FSO) implementing stringent security measures, including increased checks for those meeting him and restrictions on staff members' movements and communications. Concerns about drone attacks have escalated following incidents such as Ukraine's drone operations against Russian airfields. Public sentiment is shifting, with rising criticism over internet restrictions and economic challenges, highlighting a growing disconnect between the president and the Russian populace. Analysts suggest that Putin's reduced public schedule reflects both heightened security concerns and declining approval ratings.
