Video summary
According to expert Alexander Demchenko, President Putin has effectively fled Moscow and relocated to Valdai after reinforcing the defenses around his bunker, a move interpreted as prioritizing his own survival over the safety of the Russian population. The analysis suggests that European Russia is no longer considered safe for the dictator, leading him to abandon Moscow, which has shifted from a rear city to a frontline military zone due to the ongoing war. Instead of remaining in the capital, Putin is described as wandering through Siberia, traveling between regions like Krasnoyarsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, and Ulan-Ude, where his presence has reportedly caused local disruptions such as the cancellation of electric scooters in Novosibirsk.
The transcript clarifies a critical misconception regarding a recent drone attack on Moscow, stating that the building on Mosfilmovskaya Street was not the intended target but merely an obstacle intercepted by air defense systems. The real objective of the Ukrainian drone was identified as the former 15th Main Directorate of the KGB, which now operates under the FSB and is located at Lubyanka. This facility is deemed strategically vital because it houses the personnel responsible for securing Putin's main bunkers in Moscow, making its protection a top priority that superseded the defense of the surface building on Mosfilmovskaya Street.
Beyond security operations, the expert highlights the existence of "Metro 2," a network of underground tunnels and hidden subway lines managed by this same directorate. These subterranean routes are figuratively described as an evacuation system designed to transport Russia's top officials to safety in the event of a catastrophic attack or regime collapse. The discussion underscores that the drone strike was aimed at neutralizing this specific command structure rather than causing general damage, revealing the depth of the security apparatus protecting the leadership and the potential for rapid escape routes that have now become central to the narrative of Putin's current situation.

Putin fled to Valdai having firmly
fortified the defenses around his
bunker, thus making it clear that his
life is the most precious thing to him,
explained expert Alexander Demchenko.
The Russian dictator cares nothing for
the country's population and has no
intention of ensuring their safety, but
is only concerned with saving himself.
Putin is gone. He's bailed out. You see,
right? Putin isn't in Moscow in the
European part of the Russian Federation.
He's gone. He's fled like a bun. Where
is Putin? He's wandering around Siberia.
Why isn't he in Moscow? He's bailed out
Moscow. Why isn't he anywhere in
European Russia? Because he's bailed out
European Russia. They've all suddenly
realized that European Russia is no
longer safe and Moscow isn't a rear
city, but a military one. The war has
arrived there, so Putin has fled, the
expert explained. After this, Demchenko
added, "Of course, it's much more
convenient and easier to travel from
Valdai toward the Krasnoyarsk Territory,
toward Omsk, toward Novosibirsk, or
Ulan-Ude. Of course, it's easier. He
needs to show that he has some kind of
activity. He went to Novosibirsk and for
the time he was there, electric scooters
were canceled. Things were completely
cooky there. Meanwhile, Demchenko spoke
about a secret object that was the real
target of the drone that attacked
Moscow. According to Alexander
Demchenko, the Ukrainian drone was
intended to strike the 15th Main
Directorate of the KGB, which is now
under the jurisdiction of the FSB. This
facility can be considered strategically
important as it is where those
responsible for the security of Putin's
bunkers in Moscow are located. The
target wasn't the building on
Mosfilmovskaya Street. Russian air and
missile defense systems urgently jammed
this Ukrainian drone shooting it down
only to prevent it from flying any
further and hitting targets far more
important than this building on
Mosfilmovskaya Street. Now I'll tell you
specifically where the target could have
been, [music]
where this drone could have been flying,
the International Observer reported.
Demchenko added, "The drone most likely
flew up to and [music] could have hit
the presidential directorate for special
projects. What is that? It's the former
15th Main Directorate of the KGB. It's
unlikely Lubyanka gave it over to anyone
more likely they used it for their own
purposes. No matter what the sign is
now, it's obvious that this is a vital
building. This isn't just a key building
where things happen. It's the building
that ensures the security of Putin's
main bunkers in Moscow. Moreover, it's
responsible for Metro 2. What is Metro
2? It's underground tunnels, trains, a
hidden subway, which, figuratively
speaking, is used to evacuate Russia's
top officials, the expert explained.
