Russian Elite Defector Calls Putin a Paranoid War Criminal.
Gleb Karakulov, a former captain in the Russian Federal Protective Service, has defected to Turkey and condemned Putin's war with Ukraine. Karakulov worked in the Presidential Communications department and was responsible for ensuring the secrecy of Putin's communications. He claims that half of the Federal Guard believe that missiles should have been used to flatten the Kyiv Maidan Uprising in 2014. Karakulov also reveals details about Putin's travel routine, including his use of an armored train and a special "communications booth" for guaranteed secrecy.
