President Vladimir Putin's residence high in the Altai Mountains of Siberia has been devastated by fire. The cause remains a mystery, but Ukraine is being accused. This is the same house where Putin once hosted former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
It's rumored the mansion harbors secret hideaways and medicinal baths where Putin would unwind—a property officiated by Gazprom, caretaker of numerous luxury estates across Russia. While the fire's extent of damage remains undisclosed, it raged destructively.
Unrevealed reasons for the blaze fuel suspicions of Ukraine's handiwork, given Russia's extensive devastation in the region. The first to report the blaze was blogger Amyr Aitashev, yet Putin's team remains silent with no official statement.

The location is notoriously secure. It's inaccessible to Russians at large and shielded by heavy security. Despite this, understanding how Putin's residence succumbed to flames is challenging. Here, a high-tech bunker is also constructed to safeguard Putin and his family, seemingly impervious to nuclear conflict.
Surrounded by ventilation points and an ultra-modern substation, Putin's palace lies within the Ongudaysky District of the Altai Republic, near borders with Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan. Built with German excavators, it suggests extensive construction efforts and owns a deer farm.
