A recent drone attack in Russian capital Moscow may have targeted a set of properties owned by the Kremlin-linked associates. An elite hotspot of properties- called 'Tsar's village'- was made by Vladimir Putin for his daughters and ex-wife around his official residence in western Moscow. The details of the residences come from a leak of emails between Katerina Tikhonova, the younger of Vladimir Putin’s two daughters, and Kirill Shamalov, her ex-husband. Lyudmila Ocheretnaya, 65, Putin’s ex-wife also reportedly lives in the “Tsar’s village” which was targeted in the drone attack. Spending on the safety and security of Vladimir Putin and his staff reached 15 billion rubles ($185,700 million)- 77 percent of the annual budget allocation.
