Western countries are seeing this as Putin's weakness. But Putin is silent. He has been 'missing' since the airing of a pre-recorded interview on the emergency.Two presidential planes of Putin have been seen flying. It is being speculated that he is hiding in his secret bunker. Businessman Leonid Nevzlin, who opposes Putin, has claimed that he is hiding in the Valdai palace in Moscow with his close friends.He has also claimed that Putin is nervous and additional troops are reaching Valdai for his protection. Nevzlin has been critical of the Russian government since the Ukraine war and Putin stripped him of his Russian citizenship.
