Le Monde: Putin's movements tracked via the sports app of his guards.

The French publication Le Monde discovered that six employees of the Russian Federal Protective Service, responsible for the security of President Vladimir Putin, can be tracked using the sports application Strava, which records the location of sports activities. According to journalists, FSO employees with public accounts on Strava published information about their runs, including one in Blagoveshchensk, where Vladimir Putin met with Kim Jong Un. Thus, details of this meeting became known by tracking the activity of Putin's guards. In addition, journalists note that the guards also regularly engaged in sports near the palace in Gelendzhik, commissioned by Putin, although he denies it.

At the same time, similar cases were found among the guards of the presidents of France and the USA. According to Le Monde, 12 security service staff of Macron and 26 US Secret Service agents, who protect politicians such as Biden, Harris, and Trump, also used the Strava app to monitor their physical activity.
