He also gave the vehicle to North Korean President Kim Jong Un. Russian authorities have been extra cautious about the security of Putin ever since the Ukraine war, but lately, even the president of Ukraine forecast his death, after which Putin started fearing for his life from his own nation.

Putin does not trust his employees

Security guards were recently searched by Federal Security Service (FSO) officers in Murmansk. According to a former bodyguard quoted by The Sun, it is an indication of how much Putin is afraid of losing his life. He also added that Putin does not have faith in his employees.

The whole army is deployed to guard them

The agencies are that careful about protecting Putin that the FSO men inspect trash containers and sewer lids around his speaking locations. President Putin was reported to wear even a bullet-proof jacket in open areas. One Kremlin source disclosed to The Sun that the entire army was summoned to guard him.
