Edition No119 | 29-03-2025 - A limo from 'Putin’s car fleet' has blown up in a huge blast in central Moscow – which will undoubtedly fuel the already intense paranoia of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This comes just a day after pictures emerged of his honour guard being searched for bombs.Signs are intensifying of Putin’s paranoia about losing his life to assassination, as sewers in Moscow are set to be routinely searched and his own guards are patted down. One story doing the rounds apparently from an ex-bodyguard suggest the despot uses his personal protection to operate his washing machine due to assassination fears.The Aurus limousine from Putin's "official car fleet" was destroyed in a huge blast on a street just north of Moscow's FSB secret service headquarters in Lubyanka. Footage showed the fire started in the engine of the £275,000 Aurus Senat subsequently spread to the interior of the vehicle. Workers from nearby restaurants and bars poured onto Sretenka Street before fire services arrived. In photos black smoke can be seen billowing out of the destroyed vehicle as the fire rages. Footage taken from another angle suggested the car’s rear was also damaged.It’s not known who was using the car at the time, or even if there was anyone inside. The vehicle is believed to be owned by Putin’s Presidential Property Management Department. And of course, there has been no explanation about what caused the sudden blaze. ----------LINKS:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34134385/putin-limo-exploded-fire-paranoid/https://euroweeklynews.com/2025/03/29/putins-limousine-ablaze-after-mysterious-explosion-in-moscow/https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/limo-from-putin-s-car-fleet-explodes-as-paranoia-increases-over-assassination-attempts/ar-AA1BTggThttps://metro.co.uk/2025/03/26/putin-paranoid-assassination-people-searching-sewers-22799118/----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.
