Putin tears down favorite holiday villa over threat of Ukrainian drones [View all]

Vladimir Putin has demolished his favourite Black Sea holiday villa, where regular Ukrainian drone attacks have made the area dangerous to visit.

Satellite images published by the Russian opposition website Proekt showed a gaping hole in the ground where Putin’s dacha near Sochi had once stood.

“He has stopped flying to Sochi out of fear for his own life. The president fears drone attacks,” Proekt said in commentary underneath the photos. “The site of the dacha is now a pit.”

Proekt, which is run by Russian journalists living in exile, specialises in investigations into the Kremlin. It published a “before and after” pair of satellite images showing the dacha in May 2023 and May 2024.
