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.
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.
