Details: An unnamed Russian official has told the newspaper that Putin was wearing a concealed bulletproof vest on 9 May this year.

British security consultant Jade Miller has explained to journalists that judging by the fact that Putin walks rather stiffly and his coat does not show natural creases when he walks, it can be concluded that the Russian leader may be wearing a bulletproof vest.

Putin also visibly lifts and adjusts his shoulders, which indicates discomfort with the vest.
