‘Putin has another daughter from ex-gymnast Kabaeva’ | Abroad

In the midst of the bloody war with Ukraine, Putin is said to have heard the baby news recently, but was not particularly enthusiastic about it. According to the infamous General SVR Telegram channel, it was already known that Kabaeva, originally from Uzbekistan, had become pregnant again with Putin, who is thirty years his senior. This weekend it became clear that it will be a girl.

“The news did not please the future father and the president of Russia at all,” reports the news channel, which claims to rely on sources around the Kremlin in daily updates. Earlier this year, SVR released speculation that Putin might be ill. The Moskovsky Korrespondent previously reported on the alleged relationship between the two and was forced to close the doors afterwards.

Kabaeva and Putin are said to have had a relationship since 2008. Since then, she has been regarded as the ‘secret first lady’ of Russia. Kabaeva is now said to live in Switzerland at a secret location around the city of Lugano and to have given birth to two twins from Putin: two daughters and two sons. “While Putin carries out his attack on Ukraine, attacking innocent civilians and creating a refugee crisis, his family is locked up somewhere in Switzerland in a very private and very secure chalet,” a source told Page Six in March.

The former Olympic gymnastics champion has a huge trophy cabinet, with two Olympic medals, 14 wins at the World Cup and 21 times at the European Championships, but was also caught using doping, like so many other Russian top athletes.
