Vladimir Putin and his inner circle are concealing in supersecret bunkers in case the dispute in Ukraine intensifies into a nuclear war, according to sources.
Movements of aircrafts utilized by top Kremlin authorities reveal the Russian president might remain in a hideaway near Surgut in western Siberia, it is declared.
His defence minister Sergei Shoigu, who was inexplicably missing for 2 weeks triggering rumours about his health, is thought to be in a bunker 725 miles east of Moscow in the Urals.
That’s according to investigative reporter Christo Grozev, who has links to British investigative outletBellingcat
.
His theory is supported by the defence minister’s 31- year-old child Ksenia Shoigu going to Ufa, not far from where her daddy is allegedly concealing.
It is believed she remained in the city for around 4 days from March 22, as speculation the defence minister had actually suffered a cardiac arrest.
She likewise suddenly disallowed public access to her Instagram where she had actually presented with her child in the blue and yellow colours of Ukraine.
