VLAD ’ S A DAD

Gymnast lover ‘ has war baby’

- Jack Clover feedback@people.co.uk

VILE despot Vladimir Putin is having a war baby with his exgymnast lover, say reports.

The blood-soaked 69-year-old Russian president, whose army invaded Ukraine on

February 24, is said to be expecting a fourth child with

Alina Kabaeva, 39.

According to the Kremlin-updated

General SVR

Telegram channel the couple are having a daughter and when told the news, Putin grumbled: “I have enough children as it is, and had enough daughters long ago”.

The tyrant is secretive about his private life and it is unknown how many children he has fathered.

With ex-wife Lyudmila he had academic and businesswo­man Maria Vorontsova, 37, and scientist and exdancer Katerina Tikhonova, 35, both of whom are now sanctioned by the West. Tikhonova was said by a news

paper in Germany to have repeatedly flown there for “vampire facelift” treatment, which reinjects a patient’s own blood to stop wrinkles.

In March 2015, it was claimed former rhythmic gymnastics Olympic champ Kabaeva had a son at a VIP clinic in Switzerlan­d, and in 2019, she reportedly had twin boys in Moscow. Meanwhile, the replacemen­t for US fast-food giant Mcdonald’s, which shut in Russia after the invasion’s launch, is facing a chip shortage days after customers complained of mouldy burgers.

US giant Mcd’s stores were taken over by “Vkusno i Tochka” that loosely translates as “Tasty and That’s it” or “Yummy – full stop.”

It comes as the Foreign Office has set up a team to support families of those captured by Russian forces in Ukraine as the tally of Brits that could face the death penalty in captivity rose to four last week. Ukraine’s president Zelensky visited hospitals on the front line as fighting rages in the Donbas region.
