'Putin's paranoia' — New air defenses appear around Russian president's Valdai residence, analysis shows

Russia has established a new air defense perimeter around President Putin's Valdai residence, extending 50 kilometers and including military sites. Satellite imagery shows the defenses encompass the Khotilovo military base and a secret laboratory. Air defense systems, likely Pantsir or Tor units, have been deployed south of the residence, with potential expansions expected. This development follows accusations from the Kremlin regarding a drone attack on the residence, which Ukraine denies, claiming the allegations are fabricated. U.S. intelligence corroborated that Ukraine did not target the residence but rather a military facility nearby.
