Rusamova said that Putin would stay at the palace until next Thursday. The journalist claimed that the president had recorded several meetings in order to hide his absence from the public.

According to Rusamova, Putin left for his palace the day the video was released.

Widespread protests broke out across Russia after Putin ordered 300,000 reserve soldiers to fight in the war on Ukraine.
