Why Putin’s mistress, children untouched by sanctions in Switzerland

President Vladimir Putin has sheltered his mistress Alina Kabaeva and four children in a highly protected chalet in Switzerland as he and his administration braves series of sanctions for his war I Ukraine.

Kabaeva, 38, Russia most flexible woman and award-winning (41 awards) gymnast, has two sons and two daughters with Putin. And all the kids have Swiss passports.

‘While Putin carries out his assault on the Ukraine, attacking innocent citizens and causing a refugee crisis, his family is holed up in a very private and very secure chalet somewhere in Switzerland,’ Page Six quoted a source as saying.

Since Putin divorced his wife many years ago, the 69-year-old has yet to remarry.

Most of the west nd Europe, including Switzerland have come down heavily with sanctions on Russia, Putin, his defence ministers, foreign ministers, and oligarchs considered friendly with the regime.
