Fear of the tribunal or divine providence: why Putin exchanged war maps for the patriarch’s cell

Journalists reported a strange change in Vladimir Putin’s mood since the beginning of 2026.

According to a source, the Russian president has lost interest in the conflict and has been spending a lot of time with the Patriarch. Observers have recently noticed that Putin is paying less and less attention to the conflict in Ukraine.

Earlier, he had been deeply involved in the process, regularly demanding reports, etc. Since 2026, he has been meeting and spending time with Patriarch Kirill on an ongoing basis.

“He has met and interacted with him over the past month more than during the entire previous year,” the source noted.

At the same time, the Kremlin does not know the reason for these changes and, in fact, does not understand how to respond to the leader’s behavior.
