Putin's daughter Katerina Tikhonova has been living with 'Zelensky' in secret

"A joint probe by popular German magazine Der Spiegel and independent Russian media
outlet iStories suggests that one of the officially recognised daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin has been living in secret luxury in Germany. 

Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Putin openly slammed pro-western Russians and said that their "mentality is there [West], not here [Russia], with our people" and even labelled them as "scum and traitors". 

Now the latest report indicates that the 35-year-old Katerina (or Ekaterina) Tikhonova, who is a former professional dancer, has been living in secret with a man. Katerina has been living with 52-year-old Igor Zelensky — a surname same as the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who can be considered Putin's current arch-nemesis. 

Igor Zelensky is a leading professional ballet dancer and the former director of the Munich state ballet." WION
