I don’t understand what is significant about this.

Classic dictator who claims his country is the best of all somehow has most his family and kids living/getting education abroad in countries the regime classifies as “enemy nations”.
Does Russia classify Switzerland as an enemy nation despite its famous neutral stance?
Ever since we put sanctions yes. And just like Austria, although “neutral” we were far more aligned and integrated with the west since the end of ww2. (Or Austria, since reunification).
Well then I really don’t understand the significance since the child was born long before sanctions.
to be fair russia only released that list after the invasion of ukraine. So we don’t know if switzerland was in it before.
Anyways, I find this news interesting, and given a couple people have upvoted, I’m a couple others do too, that’s enough for me, I’m not going to force you to find it interesting.
Okay, you’re welcome to find an insignificant thing interesting. My question was about its significance. The answer is that it has none.
Significance isn’t that straightforward. Something can have lots of significance to one person and none to another.
Or lots of significance in relation to an event or ideology, or movement, but none to another.

I too have wondered about a recent disturbance in the Squid.
No. Reports of my omniscience are greatly exaggerated.
Soon, Putin will claim Switzerland is now part of Russia. Get ready for another 3-day military operation.
Finally, Switzerland’s useless obsession with military spending and forced military service will pay off. 😄
The Dossier Center, a website specialised in tracking the criminal activities of people connected to the Kremlin, has confirmed that one of the sons of Russian President Vladimir Putin was born in Switzerland in 2015. The report, published on Wednesday quoting an anonymous source working at Putin’s residence, said his long-term partner, Alina Kabaeva, delivered their first son at a clinic in Lugano, southern Switzerland.
The Dossier Center reportExternal link also provided rare insights into the living conditions of the couple’s two sons, now aged nine and five, at their residence on Lake Valdai, in central Russia.
Putin divorced his wife Lyudmila in 2013 but has never publicly acknowledged his relationship with Kabaeva, a former gymnast.
Their relationship has drawn a lot of media attention, including speculation on where their sons were born. In a report published in May 2022, Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitungconfirmedExternal link that the couple had two sons, with the first one born in Switzerland. This information was never officially confirmed.
In an interview with SWI swissinfo.ch, Sergei Pugachev, a former advisor to Putin, indirectly confirmed the information. “Everyone in Russia knows that Alina Kabaeva is, so to speak, his wife since Putin’s divorce. And it would be normal she gave birth in Switzerland. His eldest children study abroad.”
