I thought Putin's only official private residence is a tiny apartment in a building in Moscow, apart from the official residence in the Kremlin?

In addition, Vladimir Putin's Valdai residence, also known as "Uzhin" or "Dolgiye Borody," is a heavily guarded complex located on the shores of Lake Valdai, approximately 360 km (225 miles) north of Moscow.
The residence is part of a network of high-security his official homes and private estates across Russia, designed to protect the president from potential threats.

GUR chief Kyrylo Budanov announced that Ukrainian intelligence faked the death of RDK commander Denis Nikitin to expose a Russian assassination plot and collect the $500,000 that was to be paid for his supposed killing. That Russian money will now go to support the Ukrainian army.
What is especially interesting about this secret operation is that it closely mirrors the 2018 case of Russian dissident journalist Arkady Babchenko, who was working in Ukraine at the time.
Back then, the international community was full of moralists condemning the move, arguing that Ukraine should not have lied or declared a journalist dead. That criticism was ridiculous then, just as it is today, because a public announcement was necessary—both then and now—to catch the people who ordered the murder.
On the day of the Babchenko story, I broke the news internationally in a very emotional moment. I was in the newsroom with his colleagues at the Crimean Tatar TV channel ATR, and I saw with my own eyes how shocked, happy, and relieved they were to see him alive.
Not a single one of them questioned the necessity of such a staged operation—unlike many in the Western world.
It seems that today the world is slowly changing for the better, with fewer useless moralists who fail to see the real problem: Russians are killing people all over the world.

Russia may be preparing 'large-scale provocation with human casualties,' Ukraine's intelligence warns
January 2, 2026 2:21 pm
Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service warned on Jan. 2 that Russia may be preparing "a large-scale provocation with human casualties" as part of its efforts to disrupt the U.S.-mediated peace talks.
The Foreign Intelligence Service said that it predicts with "high probability" that Russian special services may be planning armed provocation, expected to take place on the eve or on the day of Christmas according to the Julian calendar, Jan. 7. The potential provocation may happen at a religious building or other sites of high symbolic significance, either in Russia or in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, it added.
Moscow has recently been spreading disinformation in an apparent attempt to undermine the U.S.-led peace negotiations. Russia claimed that a Ukrainian drone attack targeted Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence on Dec. 29. Both Ukraine and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency denied that such an attempted attack had occurred.
The Foreign Intelligence Service claimed that Moscow is expected to try to falsify evidence of Ukraine's involvement by leaving fragments of Western-made strike drones at the site of the provocation.
"Exploiting fear and committing terrorist acts with human casualties under a 'foreign flag' is entirely consistent with the modus operandi of the Russian special services," the Foreign Intelligence Service said in a Telegram post.
