Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wears body armor in public – Ukrainian intelligence
A Putin lookalike has been using body armor regularly for at
least the last five years, Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main
Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry (HUR), said in a
June 5 commentary for ArmyInform.
According to the HUR, the Russian dictator has doppelgangers and uses them even at official events.
Earlier, The Moscow Times wrote that Putin has been wearing a bulletproof vest to all public events that take place outdoors for more than a year.
Publication claims that personal chefs fly with the dictator, but a special group of employees checks all the food before he eats it. Also, according to the media, bodyguards around Putin have folding armor shields disguised as usual diplomats.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
