Thank you for sharing this! For those who haven’t seen it, I highly recommend watching “Putin’s Palace.” Navalny was brilliant as well as brave. Putin is pathetic.
Ukrainian Pravda recently reported that the residence was actually destroyed in March 2024 and posted the OSINT photos from an investigative reporting site called Project. I follow the war there closely and never heard about it so the Russians probably tried to cover it up as usual. The Ukrainians had reason to cover it up as well if they droned it because they were seeking US and EU approval to strike Russia using Western made weapons vs their drones and blowing up Putins home would not exactly have helped their cause. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/10/7/7478596/
Great story! How do we know it wasn't actually hit by a drone already? It seems improbable that Putin would simply humiliate himself by having it destroyed. Has there been any speculation on that?
We don't in fact know that it was not hit by a drone. I am thinking, thought, that if the Ukrainians had managed to hit a target like that, they would had spread the news pretty fast!

Yes, Navalny was one of my heroes. His widow is so brave.

Yes, as per the article, it was destroyed in March. March madness. And I missed it too, back then. I imagine Putin had no reason to 'billboard' it...

Touche, unless Zelensky thought getting US permission was more important.
