According to an investigation by We Can Explain, his multimillionaire eldest daughter, Maria Vorontsova, 41, moved into the complex with her two children. She was joined by her younger sister, Katerina Tikhonova, 39, a former acrobatic dancer, and her son.

The heavily guarded estate, located roughly 230 miles northwest of Moscow, already houses Putin’s partner, Alina Kabaeva, 43, and their two young sons, Ivan, 11, and Vladimir, 6.

Security at the peninsula estate, situated between two lakes and surrounded by dense forest, has been heavily fortified as Ukrainian drone strikes push deeper into Russian territory.

The complex is now protected by 27 air-defence towers arranged in dual defensive rings, a significant increase from the seven towers stationed there two years ago. The estate also reportedly features a subterranean bunker.

In addition to physical security upgrades, the Financial Times reports that Russian officials recently audited and temporarily disconnected the Kremlin's surveillance camera network over fears of cyberespionage.
