As part of the measures taken in recent years regarding Putin's security, it was announced that a nuclear response would be given to any assassination attempt. While Putin frequently uses his limousine fleet for official trips, he has gifted some of these vehicles to world leaders such as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the past.
