Vladimir Putin's Paranoia in Meetings

Vladimir Putin's meticulous security measures for meetings include fake motorcades, bunkers, and food tasters to prevent poisoning attempts. The Russian president's agenda for public events is planned months in advance to ensure maximum safety.

Strict Security Protocols

Ex-officer Gleb Karakoelov revealed Putin's elaborate security protocols involving identical offices in different cities, a secret railway network, and armed bodyguards known as 'the musketeers' accompanying him everywhere.

Meeting in Istanbul

Despite an ICC arrest warrant against Putin, Turkey's President Erdogan offers to facilitate peace talks in Istanbul. Putin, known for his dictator-like behavior, mirrors extreme security practices of historical leaders like Adolf Hitler and Kim Jong-un.

Historical Security Measures

Dictators like Hitler used food tasters, while Kim Jong-un has a personal army of 100,000 soldiers. Leaders like Stalin employed look-alikes for protection. However, for a meeting with Zelensky, Putin's presence is indispensable, ruling out the use of a doppelganger.
