Vladimir Putin’s rumored lover was spotted at the Kremlin before fleeing due to sanctions.

Alina Kabaeva, 39, an Olympic gold medalist in rhythmic gymnastics and rumored mistress of tyrant Vladimir Putin, was spotted posing with a group of children in the Kremlin’s shadow.

Vladimir Putin’s rumoured lover has been spotted in Moscow in the shadow of the Kremlin.

Alina Kabaeva, 39, an Olympic gold medalist in rhythmic gymnastics, is said to have several children with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The footage, which is being shown in the West for the first time, comes as the Russian star has gone into hiding after being sanctioned by a number of Western countries for her close personal ties to Putin.

Her nickname was “The Invisible Princess.”

She was last seen in Moscow in late November.

This year’s event includes a solemn-looking Kabaeva went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow with a group of young girls and boys to lay flowers for the war dead.

Clearly, the West believes so.

Last month, Britain sanctioned her, followed by Canada and the EU.

In imposing the sanctions, the UK stated, “She is alleged to have a close personal relationship with Putin.”

Melanie Joly, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister, first called her “a person close to Putin.”

She then added: “I’m not sure what to call her, but I suppose she’s his partner.”

The EU labelled her a “close associate” of Putin, while the US has refrained from imposing sanctions, removing her from an April sanctions list.

Earlier statements deny they are related.

Kabaeva has not been seen in public since before the restrictions were imposed.

Earlier in the war, there were claims she was hiding in a Swiss safe house, but her current location is unknown, though rumors point to Sochi, where Putin spends a lot of time.

All information about The National Media Group (NMG), of which she was chairman, was recently removed from open databases.

Her annual salary at this group, which owns several pro-Putin TV and newspaper outlets, is estimated to be nearly £8 million, compared to the Russian average of £5,600.
