Russia's president only spent eight days at his Sochi residence in 2023, in contrast to an average of over 30 days annually before the Ukraine war.

Part of Vladimir Putin’s summer residence has been demolished with the Russian leader seemingly increasingly reluctant to visit the property on the Black Sea because of the dangers posed by Ukrainian drone attacks, it has been reported.

Independent Russian investigative outlet Proekt (Project) said satellite imagery shows that the main building of the Bocharov Ruchey property in Sochi had been demolished in February and March, leaving a pit and construction equipment in its place.

    I mean, I don’t really get it either, but it’s hard for me to get into the mindset of a guy like that.

    I tried reading the article and it seems to talk about a different building built in the 50s? So maybe it’s just something he wants to rebuild and it doesn’t really have anything to do with the war, it’s not exactly a well written article.
