'How many nameless victims of this war are there, how many of them are children? How many more such victims are required before you stop putting up with it? 'Multiple rocket launchers are being used, residential buildings and critical infrastructure are being hit. Karakulov said the invasion of Ukraine 'is simply beyond comprehension'. And I consider him a war criminal,' he said. 'However, what is happening now is beyond the pale, it defies reason. You mustn't follow criminal orders and serve this war criminal, Vladimir Putin. 'I am sure that you had questions about the Commander-in-Chief's actions before, but the oath forced you not to ask and to smoothly execute his orders.

You will help our citizens to learn the truth. 'You have information that is not broadcast on television. 'I would like to address Russian officers, including the FGS officers,' he said. He issued an appeal to other officers to come forward with evidence about Putin as a 'war criminal'. Reports of the despot's extravagant wealth and of his secret lover - believed to be hidden away from the public eye - are understood to have infuriated Putin, who styles himself as a hero of the people of Russia, where the standard of living is low. In addition to the reports on Puton's health, Karakulov seemed unaware of Putin's private life with gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 39, and their young children.īut he confirmed Putin has a £1billion cliff-top palace at Gelendzhik on the Black Sea, and the private yacht Scheherazade, as earlier revealed by Russia's independent media. Some reports have suggested he has cancer or Parkinson's disease. In the year since, the rumours have only intensified as the war appears to have taken its toll on the president, who has been seen in frequent videos released by Russia clutching on to a desk to steady himself and awkwardly shuffling his feet. Rumours about the Russian president's declining health, mental state and unstable position within the Kremlin have swirled since long before he ordered the illegal invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. When he does travel, his trips are heavily stage managed - with some suggesting that he even employs a body double. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic and his invasion of Ukraine, these trips have declined in number.

Putin would often travel across Russia to shore-up his public image as a man of the people. 'Given the fact that there had been many business trips, only one or two were cancelled because of his health.' He added: 'I can tell you that I went on many business trips with him, and he went on many trips before 2020. After that he stayed in his bunker and maybe made just one, maximum, three business trips a year.

'If he has any health issues, they must be due to his age. 'It was not something my colleagues discussed,' he told Dossier. However, asked about rumours of Putin being terminally ill, he appeared unaware of credible information that the dictator has had or still has cancer. They are 'clean' and can work in the same room as Putin.' 'There is a pool of employees who have been cleared – who underwent this two-week quarantine. We have to observe a strict quarantine for two weeks before any event, even those lasting 15 to 20 minutes. We still have a self-isolating president. This is demonstrated by his guards, who 'call him the Boss, worship him in every way and only ever talk of him in those terms', according to Karakulov.Īsked if Putin is always in 'lockdown', Karakulov replied: 'Yes, he is. Western analysts have long suspected that Putin has not been receiving accurate reports from his generals and others in his close-knit circle about the situation on the ground in Ukraine, out of fear of his wrath should be be told bad news. This means his knowledge of events is filtered via the secret services - and what he watches on state controlled Russian TV. He only receives information from his closest circle, which means that he lives in an information vacuum,' Karakulov said. 'With Putin… he doesn't use the internet or a mobile phone. The Russian leader is so concerned about Western bugging that he takes a special box with him on foreign trips to prevent his secret talks from leaking. 'I mean, in all my years of service, I haven't seen him once with a mobile phone,' Karakulov said. Putin's paranoia is also shown by the fact he never uses a mobile phone. The leaks said the train is camouflaged in grey and red to look like a Russian normal passenger train, making it visually almost indistinguishable from the rest. The protection officer was reportedly responsible for earlier leaks about Putin's armoured train, which he is understood to use on his increasingly rare trips across Russia out of fear that his presidential plane could be shot down from the skies.
