Friends of Alina Kabaeva, Vladimir Putin’s mistress, are begging her to fly to Moscow to persuade him to end the war.

“Ali­na’s friends are beg­ging her to fly to Putin and per­suade him to end the war,” a source told Page Six. “He does­n’t seem to lis­ten to any­one, but maybe he could lis­ten to her.“
The source added, “Putin is sur­round­ed by rings and rings of secu­ri­ty. Ali­na says she does­n’t know if she can get to him — and even if she does — she does­n’t know if she’ll be able to go out again to be with their children.

Page Six exclu­sive­ly report­ed ear­li­er this month that the Russ­ian pres­i­dent has report­ed­ly hid­den his lover and their chil­dren in the once-neu­tral Euro­pean nation.

Kabae­va, an Olympic gold medal gym­nast, is said to have four chil­dren — two young boys and twin girls — with Putin, 69, though the two have nev­er offi­cial­ly con­firmed it.

The chil­dren were report­ed­ly born in Switzer­land and all have Swiss pass­ports, accord­ing to one source, who tells us that Kabae­va, 38, has pass­ports under sev­er­al dif­fer­ent names and nationalities.

More than 50,000 peo­ple have signed a peti­tion to have Kabae­va deport­ed from Switzer­land, where she and Putin’s four chil­dren are report­ed­ly hiding.

We are told that Kabae­va and the chil­dren are hid­ing in a lux­u­ri­ous pri­vate chalet owned by a Putin loy­al­ist near the French border.

While the Swiss gov­ern­ment report­ed­ly has no sol­id infor­ma­tion on whether Kabae­va and her chil­dren with Putin are hid­ing in the coun­try, the source added, “Ali­na could be trav­el­ing under a num­ber of dif­fer­ent names and pass­ports. She flies on pri­vate jets and would not risk trav­el­ing under her own name.

Mean­while, more than 50,000 peo­ple have demand­ed that Kabae­va and their chil­dren be deport­ed from Switzer­land amid Putin’s actions.

Ukrain­ian, Russ­ian and Belaru­sian cit­i­zens appealed to the Swiss Con­fed­er­a­tion with a peti­tion titled “Con­nect Eva Braun to her Führer” — com­par­ing Kabae­va to Hitler Braun’s long­time com­pan­ion and wife — on Change.org.

“She is the favorite wife of a delu­sion­al dic­ta­tor and war crim­i­nal who has treach­er­ous­ly attacked Ukraine in recent weeks,” the peti­tion says.

“For the first time in mod­ern his­to­ry, your coun­try has vio­lat­ed its neu­tral­i­ty, which it did not even do vis-à-vis Nazi Ger­many in the 20th cen­tu­ry, and joined the sanc­tions against Putin and his sur­round­ings. And now his favorite mis­tress with her chil­dren is hid­ing with­in the bor­ders of your state!

Switzer­land’s deci­sion not to remain neu­tral and take a hard line on Rus­sia sur­prised many in the inter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty. The Swiss Fed­er­al Coun­cil announced on Feb­ru­ary 28 that it had frozen the assets of a list of promi­nent Russ­ian indi­vid­u­als and companies.
