Ukraine strikes leave Putin’s Black Sea palace exposed, report says
TL;DR
Ukraine says its Aug. 7 electronic-warfare strikes near Putin’s Black Sea retreat damaged a jamming system that protected the palace and, with nearby S-400 defenses reportedly hit by Aug. 9 strikes, left the Gelendzhik complex “unprotected,” according to The Times of Moscow. The 190,000-square-foot Cape Idokopas estate—with a casino, theater, hockey rink and more—has long been tied to the Russian president, though Moscow denies ownership. The report suggests the compound could face a follow-up attack.
