According to the Moscow Times :
President Vladimir Putin's plane has taken off from Moscow's Vnukovo Airport, allegedly en route to St. Petersburg, independent media reported Saturday afternoon, citing air traffic data on FlightRadar24.
The aircraft appeared to disappear from the tracking system over Russia's northwestern Tver region, where one of Putin's residences is located.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov denied claims that the Russian leader had fled Moscow.
The flight was RSD697.
Another RSD629 (Tu-214 RA-64520) flew from Vnukovo to St Petersburg a little bit later.
RSD is the Russia Special squadron code.
