Russia on High Alert as Drone Strikes and Assassination Fears Grip Putin's Regime

Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly refusing to travel abroad due to fears of assassination, following a series of events that have heightened his paranoia, including a drone attack near his luxury home. Putin has long used elaborate layers of security, including body doubles and food testing, and his isolation appears to be getting worse. Former Kremlin security official Gleb Karakulov has also spoken about Putin's increasing isolation and paranoia. Putin's decision-making may be flawed due to being presented with distorted information by a group of close aides.
