Russian President Vladimir Putin is worried about the problem of alcohol abuse among his "close circle" and the top leadership of the Russian Federation, which he claims has become particularly acute since February this year.

Details: According to two sources, Putin began to pay special attention to the problem of alcohol abuse, because in the background of the war against Ukraine, Russian officials started drinking much more often. In particular, the President of the Russian Federation is particularly concerned about the condition of some people from his "close environment".
Quote: "Since February, people have been relieving stress like this. Ministers, their deputies, even some vice prime ministers, employees of the presidential administration and the Security Council, some heads of state corporations, and governors."
