## Caption

The Kremlin released footage of Vladimir Putin driving through central Moscow and meeting his former school teacher, in what appeared to be a response to reports claiming he had spent weeks hidden in bunkers over security fears.⁣
⁣
Western media, citing a European intelligence report, had suggested Putin was directing the war in Ukraine from underground facilities amid fears of assassination attempts or a coup. Russian officials dismissed the claims as nonsense.⁣
⁣
The video showed the 73-year-old Russian leader casually dressed, greeting his former teacher Vera Gurevich with flowers before taking her to dinner at the Kremlin.⁣
⁣
Putin, who has been in power since 1999, also recently said he believed the war in Ukraine was nearing an end.⁣
