Marriage, mystery and a cold heart

Putin’s private life remains a secret to the world, off limits to Russian media.

The country’s leader is said to hide his money among a network of lovers, children, and other cronies.

For decades in the the public eye, Putin has displayed a strong facade.

He is pictured as a tough man, posing for countless photos, bare-chested while riding horses, swimming and fishing.

The U.S believes many of Putin’s assets are hidden with family members, which could be why women rarely feature in his life and why he remains so tight lipped.

Putin wants to show his country he is dedicated to his job.

Back in 2014, the year Russia took Crimea from Ukraine, his wife of three decades said their marriage is over due to the fact that “we barely see each other,”

The former first lady was a spy for KGB and said “Vladimir is completely submerged in his work. Our children have grown up…I truly don’t like publicity.”

Their daughters Maria and Katerina were both hit with fresh sanctions by the US recently

Since his marriage breakdown, its alleged putin has a third daughter, Elizaveta Rozova, from his secret fling with Russian cleaner-turned-millionaire Svetlana

His hidden love child now lives a life of luxury in her father’s home city of St Petersburg, according to the Russian investigative publication, which was quickly shut down by the government

The Russian President is also reported to be in a long-term relationship with former Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast Alina Kabaeva.

Past reports in Western media claimed the lovebirds have two young sons, as well as twin girls born in 2015.

There was also rumours a Russian TV personality was Putin’s mistress, In 2018, she became an official ambassador of the FIFA World Cup and a director of the Miss Russia pageant.

While other politicians embrace social media and parade their families on the world stage to win favour with voters, Putin would never blur the line between his private and public lives.

Kremlin elite are sworn to secrecy and what happens behind closed doors… only Putin will know.

Crude oil prices jumped over 3% on Wednesday as U.S.-Iran nuclear talks showed signs of faltering, pushing WTI futures above $65 per barrel. Axios reported disagreements over the venue and scope of Friday’s talks, while President Trump warned Iran’s supreme leader to “be very worried,” stoking fears of military escalation.

Tensions in the Persian Gulf added to the volatility. A U.S. F-35C shot down an Iranian drone near the USS Abraham Lincoln, and Iranian vessels threatened a U.S.-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The USS McFaul escorted the tanker to safety, highlighting the region’s fragile oil supply routes.

Despite the clashes, nuclear talks will go ahead on Friday in Oman, but uncertainty continues to drive oil market volatility, with traders closely watching both diplomatic and military developments.

The Washington Post has laid off hundreds of employees, marking what former executive editor Martin Baron calls “one of the darkest days” in the paper’s history. Approximately one-third of the newsroom staff were affected, as the company undertakes a so-called “strategic reset” to compete in a crowded media landscape.

The cuts hit key areas, including the sports desk, local coverage, international reporting, the books desk, and the flagship daily news podcast. Editor-in-Chief Matt Murray said the changes aim to prioritise national security, politics, science, health, technology, climate, and business coverage while positioning the Post for the future.

Critics have called out owner Jeff Bezos for his silence during the layoffs and alleged efforts to influence the paper’s political stance. Former editor Baron warned that the newspaper’s ambitions would be sharply diminished and its credibility could suffer.
