Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit India on December 4-5. Rigorous security measures are in place for his visit. A team from the Russian security agency has already arrived. Let's delve into the unique security protocols for the Russian President during international visits.
As Putin, a formidable leader, prepares for his visit to India, it's no surprise the security arrangements are stringent. While all countries have special security protocols for visiting heads of state, Putin's security measures are notably distinct.
An Invisible Army Blends with Locals
According to a report from The Moscow Times, wherever Putin goes, an invisible army is already stationed, blending seamlessly with the local people and environment.
In light of incidents like the assassination of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2022 and the attempted assassination of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, Kremlin security officials have further tightened security for Putin.
A Portable Lab in Tow
Special services managing Putin's security control nearly every aspect of his life, including inspecting all his meals for poison using a portable lab.
When traveling within or outside Russia, meticulous attention is given to Putin's food and drink. This is why a portable lab accompanies his convoy, testing food for toxins before consumption.
Personal Chefs at Hand
The President's personal chefs travel with him, with Putin consuming only meals prepared by them, which are tested first in the lab.
Food and Water Imported from Russia
Groceries traveling with the Russian President are sourced exclusively from Russia. A specialized team in Russia ensures all food and drink arrangements, accompanying him with thoroughly checked provisions.
Even His Toilet Travels with Him
Putin also carries a portable toilet to ensure his biological waste doesn’t remain in foreign countries. This precaution is taken to prevent foreign entities from acquiring any biological information that could compromise national security.
Thus, when Putin visits India, these arrangements will accompany him, tied closely to his security. Russian security agencies leave no room for negligence in this regard.
