eyes are on the russian president
vladimir putin the u.s and the west in
an attempt to impose heavier sanctions
on russia the ruling elite and their
families have announced sanctions on
president putin's two daughters and on
foreign minister sergey lavrov's wife

military diplomatic and civil in russia
over the course of the next half hour we
get you details not just of the
sanctions but
what the west is thinking and what
russia intends to do especially with
intensification of operations towards
the south and the east of ukraine
[Music]
the us is now hitting putin where it
hurts most
an economic squeeze on his family
through sanctions on his daughters maria
and katrina is the latest american move
to punish the russian president
putin's family lives far away from the
limelight
maintaining a very low
almost secretive lifestyle
the us believes that a lot of putin's
wealth is hidden among his family
members
and oligarch friends
putin's daughters have been kept out of
public view but here's what's known
about them maria putina and katrina
takanova are in their mid-thirties both
are putin's daughters from his first
wife ludmila shreb neva
maria is the russian president's older
daughter she is the co-owner of nomenco
a company involved in russia's largest
private investment healthcare project
and is reported to be a specialist in
rare diseases in children she married a
dutch businessman but it is unknown if
they are still together putin's second
daughter katrina was once an acrobatic

sanctions on banks
sanctions on critical major state-owned
enterprises
sanctions on russian government
officials and family members
not only the u.s uk has announced
further sanctions against eight
oligarchs and the russian banks in which
their money is stashed
what's very clear is that the call for
sanctions are getting personally close
to putin
bureau report india today
so russian president vladimir putin has
been in power since the year 2000 he's
an ex-kgb spy we'll tell you more about
him but have sanctions worked so far
it's day 43 of the conflict all
indications are that russia continues to
bash on regardless especially towards
the south and the east more so in the
east in the donbass region in donetsk
and in luhansk have sanctions worked
clearly not given the fact that russia
it's not just that missiles and rockets
and aircraft that continue to target the
donbass region mario pole they're also
targeting kharkiv so much so that the
ukrainian government has now has
asked people to evacuate mario pole and
kharkiv as quickly as possible fearing a
big russian assault so the russian
president may be bogged down he's
clearly not out
[Music]
it's been a week for vladimir putin
labelled a war criminal by the united
states
called a terrorist madman by the country
he has invaded
saddled with history's most crippling
sanctions against russia
and bogged down in a war that has no
visible exit route
cloistered in the kremlin and his home
near moscow vladimir putin however is
showing no signs of losing steam
his missiles and bombs are still
crashing into ukrainian neighborhoods
and despite losing as many as six senior
generals in this ongoing war
putin doesn't appear to be militarily or
even politically fatigued
for now ukraine in a very precarious
situation uh the the unpredictability of
what's going to happen next is is is
palpable when it comes to
conversations we have on either side but
the russian side very clear that there
can be no need to expansion into ukraine
his ruthless persona continues to
radiate out from moscow signaling a
typically grim determination to reach
his stated objectives
as russia's longest serving leader after
joseph stalin
world leaders wonder if vladimir putin
has finally landed himself and his
country on the path of economic
political and military doom
we understand that putin has crossed the
last red line he is now compared to
hitler of 21st century
for a superpower leader who has stayed
in power for nearly a quarter century
and managed to establish russia as a
true world power has putin's famed
psychological ruthlessness been derailed
by a war where there doesn't appear to
be a dignified exit
or is the world about to witness
vladimir putin's famous will to
overwhelm
digesting the losses casting aside the
sanctions and showing a terrifying
appetite for damage to his military and
reputation
is putin about to signal to the world
that he will finish what he started
is he signaling in fact that the west
has betrayed those they made promises to
[Music]
a month is up in an invasion that putin
had smirked and indicated would be over
in the blink of an eye what putin does
next
means everything not just for ukraine
but for the most intriguing russian
leader of our time
with gita mohan in moscow bureau report
india today
in russia he's popular he's seen as
pragmatic he's also seen as very
polarizing vladimir putin born in 1952
in saint petersburg what was known as
leningrad earlier now his father was a
factory four man his father had served
in the second world war his family had
seen extreme poverty even starvation but
many say that is what made putin the man
that he is
he has the appetite to take punishment
he also has the appetite to give
punishment and once he makes up his mind
he ensures that he achieves that aim he
has been in power
practically for over two decades plus
1999 was when he became prime minister
of yeltsin then president in 2000 and
remains president
even in 2022
putin has been called by many names and
now moscow's undisputed leader has the
world's attention some even have taken
interest in putin's childhood to
understand his present actions while his
past will not justify his present it's
worth having a look into and
understanding who putin really is
[Music]
born in 1952 in leningrad which is now
called saint petersburg his childhood
was rife with hardship his city then was
under a long nazi siege during world war
ii that killed most of the population
the siege has been termed genocide and
is described as the world's most
destructive siege of a city his father
had taken part in world war ii and was
wounded badly putin's mother on the
other hand did odd jobs and had almost
died of starvation during the nazi siege
of leningrad putin's family had a room
in a rundown apartment shared with two
other families so there was always
scarcity of hot water food and little or
no heat in their room while his parents
worked he would be left with another
family or on his own he was left to look
out for himself even when he was bullied
in the neighborhood so his childhood saw
food insecurity bullying shelter issue
wartime and even parental trauma but he
luckily found mentors learned judo and
got a law degree and that would lead up
to his first job in the russian
government when he joined soviet union's
main security agency kgb before entering
the kremlin
[Music]
experts say that putin's childhood
dictated his personality moreover he was
culturally and psychologically married
to the idea of soviet union which
stopped existing one u.s secretary once
said that when she met putin she found
him to be unemotional and cold and if
you look back at figures like nazi
germany's adolf hitler and soviet
union's joseph stalin they all had
childhood trauma that is often linked
back to their actions by historians now
let me draw your focus to his
announcement that he made before
invading ukraine
[Music]
let's have a look at these two words
dinosify and demilitarize because these
two words have been used by him to
somewhat explain to the world why he is
invading ukraine and now linked that to
his childhood trauma of living under
military hell bullying and war trauma in
his mind he is the victim here and he is
defending himself as he is threatened by
ukraine
now the russian president vladimir putin
knows about hardship he also knows about
struggle he joined the kgb is an expert
black belt in judo he learned german he
learned english speaks both languages
very fluently was a part of
counterintelligence first in kgb then he
went on to head the fsb he understands
the mind of the adversary that is
exactly what he was tasked to do in
counter intelligence to know what's
happening in the enemy's mind is that
what he's doing even now on ground let's
tell you a little more about the russian
president vladimir putin
[Music]
[Music]
in 2012 as he entered kremlin as the
president of russia
vladimir v putin was walking in once
again to continue his role over russia
despite allegations of electoral fraud
putin was taking over the helms for the
third time
as i fulfill the duties of the president
of the russian federation
[Music]
the journey has been remarkable from a
young spy in the soviet era to becoming
one of the most powerful and feared
leaders in the world
no one could have imagined that the
breakup of the soviet union would create
and concentrate so much power into the
hands of one person
it is almost as if azar has been reborn
in russia
in 1952 security guard vladimir putin
and maria shalomova had a son
they named him vladimir son of vladimir
putin
vladimir vladimirovich grew up in a
communal housing on baskov lane in saint
petersburg
then called leningrad
an average student with no remarkable
achievement to remember him by the young
putin finished schooling and went to
college to study law
the young boy who at first wanted to be
a pilot then a sailor got swayed by the
idealism of the times
and in 1975
joined the kamishet gosudar stani bezu
pass nos cheste
or ussr's main security agency
the kgb
it was here that the real talents of
putin got to be recognized
within months of joining he was
transferred to be trained in the elite
counter intelligence division
[Music]
in 1985 putin was posted to the kgb
headquarters in dresden east germany a
posting that lasted till those heady
days of 1990 when the berlin wall came
down and the german democratic republic
imploded in the wake of german
unification
putin was there at his kgb headquarters
facing a mob when he realized that
retaliation of the olden days was no
longer possible because moscow had gone
silent
[Music]
from the front line in east germany
putin saw how one after another the
centrally planned economies of eastern
europe staggered to disintegration
out in saint petersburg he saw russia's
troubled early transition to a
free-market democratic system
left hand colonel vladimir putin of the
kgb retired in 1991 and made his way
back to leningrad
the future looked bleak as the soviet
union came crashing down
[Music]
putin considered himself lucky when he
found work at leningrad university
he was planning to do his phd
but putin soon found himself involved in
politics and administration
as the now renamed saint petersburg
began to reorient itself in post-soviet
russian federation
in 1996 putin moved to moscow to the
center of political power
in the next three years his rise was
phenomenal as he worked his way through
the intrigues and plotting at the heart
of russian presidency
he was soon noticed by boris yeltsin the
president of russia and the man credited
with having struck the final nail in the
coffin of the ussr
in early 1997 president boris yeltsin
appointed putin deputy chief of
presidential staff
by 1998 he was the director of fsb
federal security services kgb's new age
successor
[Music]
a year later when president boris
yeltsin sacked the government he
replaced his prime minister with
vladimir putin
so he worked extensively in the kgb went
on to head the fsb knows a thing or two
about counter intelligence and
fighting the war including in the
enemy's mind that is what he did in
counter-intelligence he was deployed
extensively to know what's happening in
then east germany and of course parts of
western europe too
but he's learnt a couple of lessons
especially about secrecy and not staying
at one place for too long not many know
where he stays does he stay at some
presidential palace does he stay you
know for example the american president
lives in white house where does the
russian president live many argue he
changes his house very frequently
because he doesn't trust many people
[Music]
strong man
autocrat
aggressor
vladimir vladimirovich putin
the man in a global spotlight and not
for the right reasons
putin under a global glare since he
ordered his troops to launch a ruthless
invasion of ukraine on the 22nd of
february
the world curious to know the man behind
the tough guy image and his secretive
yet super luxurious lifestyle
certainly one of the most powerful men
in the world but also one of the richest
putin lives life king size
unlike other presidents putin does not
live in a government building
instead travels among several of his
luxury properties in the swankiest
neighborhoods of russia
putin's most famous and confirmed
property near moscow is the novo
ogariovo constructed in the first half
of the 1950s on the foundation of a 19th
century villa
the russian leader has hosted famous
world leaders here including barack
obama in 2009
[Music]
the russian president is a proud owner
of a summer house in sochi the famous
black sea resort city
the villa named bocharov
is located very close to the coast
in 2008 former u.s president george bush
visited putin in this house for a summit
amidst moscow washington tensions
[Music]
another of putin's prized possessions is
an official accommodation valdai located
in the novgorod region
when putin inherited the highest office
he also received the right to use this
super swanky residence
although putin does not live in saint
petersburg he earns constantin palace in
the city
a property often used for state events
like the g8 and g20 summits
[Music]
putin skips the palatial confines of the
kremlin which have served as official
residences of past russian leaders since
centuries
he occasionally drops in to visit these
historic office complexes using
motorcades or helicopters
but for everything else putin lives on
his own terms
bureau report india today
[Music]
so there is this very carefully crafted
image about the russian president he's
seen as a strong man he's a black belt
judo expert he's good at martial arts
he's good at physical fitness goes out
hunting rides horseback bareback uh
all of that yes but what's his life like
now we're also told he's a coffee lover
has a sweet tooth interacts very
extensively only with those he's very
close to let's tell you a little more
about
a very enigmatic russian president
vladimir putin
[Laughter]
[Music]
vladimir putin the man who has the world
on the edge at the moment
a total night owl stays up late till wee
hours of mourning
a news report recently indicated that
the man is the sharpest at night
his daily routine is extensive though
unknown stickler for schedules he starts
late
[Music]
that gets followed by a morning press
briefing and lots and lots of exercise
[Music]
his breakfast is laid out at noon yes
not am but pm
fruit juice eggs porridge reportedly are
his preferred choice of breakfast
after which he's a coffee man and likes
a cup of coffee
after this he heads for a swim and gets
a lot in order mentally while swimming
and the fitness freak lifts weights
straight after that
then of course it's time to suit up and
head to work his ensom quite evidently
consists of pieces from the house of
valentino briony and kaiten
russian media reports show how the man
begins this afternoon at work getting
briefed on intelligence foreign affairs
and what's making headlines around the
world
while he never accepts food that's not
approved by kremlin he loves ice cream
russian media reports indicate how
pistachio is his favorite flavor and he
even gifted xi jinping his favorite ice
cream tap during a g20 summit
on sundays he goes praying and making
confessions we wonder what he's praying
these days given his ghastly offensive
on ukraine
icehawk is a sport he plays with much
passion we're not swimming or playing
ice hockey or even for that matter
waging a war against ukraine he does
spend time with dogs
buffy is his dog and a black labrador
called kony are his pets
well if toxic masculinism had a shining
example
could it probably be lardmarbutin
[Music]
it's also argued that there are several
people who want to eliminate the russian
president and that is why those
protecting him are
perhaps in the eye
of of the world's attention at all times
who actually protects the russian
president what kind of a team protects
the russian president india today now
gets you this report on the president
and his bodyguards
[Applause]
all eyes are on put in as he wages war
against ukraine and by proxy with the
west and it's no secret that most of
them are not friendly gazes which means
that kremlin will do whatever it takes
to protect its president in fact
international security expert will get
ease has said that there is a one
million pound bounty on putin's head
which means protecting president putin
becomes kremlin's top priority how tight
is their security protocol and who
protects putin let's have a look at
president putin's on charge of
bodyguards
putin's bodyguards are seen with
high-powered pistols to bulletproof
briefcases
so putin's tight-knit security won't be
entertaining any such attempts which
could harm him putin is armored to his
teeth and can assassination
attempts on his life his personal
security is the best staffed and best
trained team in the country let's have a
look at how his security operates before
any of his public appearances the team
would analyze all possible threats
criminal activity social unrest image
perception and even the possibility of
natural disasters preparation starts a
month before putin's visit his security
team would coordinate their security
schedule with the local authorities and
check for tactically secure
accommodation everything to the last
doorknob is repaired so that no
technicians or repairmen would need to
access his living quarters jammers are
installed to block radio detonation
signals to the president's location
smartphones in his proximity are also
tapped by the surveillance team to
control suspicious activity now coming
to his bodyguards a special unit of the
russian federal security service is
assigned for president's personal
security there are eligibility criterias
to be put in bodyguard they must have
operational psychology to anticipate and
prevent threats not noticed by others
they must be younger than 35 and weigh
between 75 to 90 kgs and have a height
between 175 to 190 centimeters the
guards should also have high stamina
they must also understand foreign
languages and also be proficient in
politics putin's bodyguards are
specially trained to have higher stamina
sustain cold weather and not sweat in
heat some say that they use medicines to
enhance their physiological process
their work is so demanding that the
longest putin's bodyguard can stay on
the job until 35 years only
when in action put in security guards
are loosely organized in four circles
the closest circle has his personal
bodyguards with a earpiece in their ear
and a suitcase and they look menacing
not just menacing they're also ready to
jump in action one can also notice that
your hands are always in front of the
body with the left hand often raised
halfway this is a compulsory requirement
the guard must always be in an alert
position the reason for this position is
to shield the precedent with your bodies
the suitcases these bodyguards are often
spotted with are actually protective
shields they use a 9mm gurza pistol
which can shoot up to 40 bullets per
minute however if a shootout occurs that
means the security team has failed any
attacks should be above all prevented
beforehand
well that is all that we have time for
on this special broadcast from key
ukraine on day 43 of the russia ukraine
conflict many thanks for watching
you

hello and welcome to an india today's
