Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin, who continues to make headlines for his relentless pursuit of the Ukraine war, his declining health and his secretive lifestyle, is in the news once again. This time, for a luxurious palatial bungalow that he has reportedly brought in around USD 120 million (around £100 million), where he is said to be living in secret with his gymnast girlfriend Alina Kabaeva.
According to foreign media reports, the Russian President is secretly living in a huge mansion located northwest of Moscow. According to a report published by Russian investigative news site The Project, Putin bought this property in Cyprus through a slush fund.
