“Our president has become a war criminal,” warned Gleb Karakulov, who had been a communications expert for Putin’s secretive elite personal security team, the Federal Protective Service, or FSO.From a secret hiding spot, Karakulov said he felt compelled to raise the alarm even though his mother fears his defection made him a “foreign agent” — and a once-close colleague called him a “scumbag.”
The warmongering leader also spends most of his time living in a bunker at the Russian Embassy in Kazakhstan outfitted with a secure communications line, he said. “In all my service, I have never seen him with a mobile phone,” Karakulov said of Putin’s fears that could also be tracked and intercepted.
