The move is part of security measures – and residents were told to follow the strict instructions to avoid ‘unpleasant situations’. After spending months inside Moscow over fears of security threats, Putin travelled to Kazan, Irkutsk, Omsk, and Ulan-Ude. In late June, Putin moved one of his air defence systems a few metres from Moscow’s oil refinery after Ukrainian drones damaged the facility. Putin moved a Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and gun system just a few hundred metres away from the oil refinery.
