Ukrainian news sites cautiously report of the demise of Viktor Zolotov, head of Putin's personal security service. Here and here.

I’m not sure how they would know if Zolotov was really gone or just hasn’t been seen because he may be at Putin’s side in a hospital or something. But if he’s really gone, then there’s something BIG going on.

Since this is coming from Ukraine, I put little faith in the accuracy.
