Putin was again offered to move the capital from Moscow to another city.
The reason, according to two of our sources in the Kremlin, is possible missile attacks from NATO countries. “If we strike at British (or some other Western) military targets, as promised , then a response is possible at about 50-60 targets on Russian territory. Moscow, of course, is among them,” said one of our interlocutors, citing the military.
Note that there was talk about a possible transfer of the capital from Moscow back in the fall of 2022 . Then a direct clash with NATO was avoided , and the need for a transfer was no longer necessary.
At the same time, there were three candidate cities for the status of temporary capital: Yekaterinburg, Kazan and Yaroslavl. There are now two candidate cities, but their sources refused to name them.
The interlocutors also noted that moving the capital is only a possible plan for now. Which is being discussed and proposed to the president “just in case, to avoid big problems if they arise.”
