The mother of missing British boy Oliver, first seen in Moscow.
According to The Sun: The mother of the missing British boy has confirmed that she is in Moscow.
Thirteen-month-old Oliver Pugh went missing in July along with his mother, Anastasia Chikina, 32, from their home in Marbella.
East2WestMatthew Pugh, 36, Oliver's father and Anastasia's husband, is concerned for his son's safety after his disappearance.
Earlier this month, Matthew announced a reward of £87,000 (€100,000) for information leading to Oliver’s safe return.
Investigators may be close to solving the boy's disappearance, as social media posts have emerged suggesting he may still be in Europe.
In Instagram photos, Anastasia had posed against the backdrop of a Cartier store, which was likely located in Bangkok.
Several other images led to speculation that she may have even been in South Korea.
However, new posts indicate that she may not be that far away, as her location is reported to be in Moscow, Russia.
While this does not guarantee she is in the Russian capital, it suggests that she is trying to create such an impression.
Oliver and Anastasia went missing from the Spanish resort town of Marbella, where custody over Oliver was shared between the parents after their divorce.
Following the announcement of the boy's disappearance, Spanish police conducted extensive searches and passed information to Interpol for searches beyond Spain's borders.
Matthew, along with Spanish police, hopes Anastasia may have taken Oliver to Russia as she may have lost custody of him.
Spanish police are investigating Anastasia on suspicions of abduction and are working with Interpol to find her.
If the missing pair are indeed in Russia, extradition will be impossible.
Oliver has a British passport, but he may also acquire a Russian one; it is currently unknown whether he has a Russian passport.
In her recent posts, Anastasia did not specify her whereabouts or details about her son’s safety.
Anastasia's cryptic messages
"No one plays a role better than one who inflicts harm themselves," she wrote.
"Once again – the victim and the aggressor always exist in one person," she added in Russian.
Anastasia, an online coach offering 'transformational training' for women, runs a business with her mother.
She stated that "the story is based on real events," assuring that "there will be a continuation, fasten your seatbelts."

"Where is the logic in this?"
She addressed her followers, who do not understand why she disappeared from what seemed to be a nice life.
"Many are asking: ‘Acia, how is this? You always spoke so beautifully about your life, and now it turns out that everything was not so?"
Anastasia also mentions the difficulties she faced during pregnancy when Matthew suffered a severe illness due to Covid.
The situation continues to raise concerns among those who hope for the boy's return.
