Vladimir Putin once again sparked rumors that he’s unhealthy and that his days are numbered.
A source told Globe that Putin was recently spotted walking around and it was evident that he was limping. And upon closer inspection, eagle-eyed critics also noticed that he couldn’t move his right arm.
“Putin could be seen walking with a discernible limp as he made his way off the plane. There has been speculation about whether the Russian president is fighting Parkinson’s disease, a form of aggressive cancer, or was injured in an assassination attempt,” the source said.
Other than this, some sources have also been insisting that one side of Putin’s face looks swollen and he could barely move it.
“When mosquitoes begin buzzing around the right side of his face, Putin raises his left arm in an attempt to swat them away while his right arm hangs limply by his side. He continues to itch and swat all around his head with one arm while walking with a slight limp,” the source said.
But regardless of what his critics say, Putin has never confirmed anything about his health. So, it’s highly likely that they are just overthinking things. In fact, there’s no proof that Putin was ever spotted limping or that he’s having a hard time moving his arm and one side of his face.
Meanwhile, these aren’t the only rumors surrounding Putin’s health. In recent months there have been claims that he was also seen shaking while standing and even while he was sitting.
And then there was also a time wherein Putin was rumored to be having problems with his grip. He was photographed clasping the table with his clenched fists.
Several other sources also predicted that Putin’s days are numbered because he doesn’t look healthy and well. However, none of their claims are true.
If Putin is unhealthy or if he is having a hard time working, chances are his spokesperson would make an official announcement about his health.
The fact that they are silent on the matter proves that he’s doing fine.
It also seems as though the people who are spreading fake claims about Putin’s health are the ones that dislike him and they do not support the Russian leader.
So, they find that it’s easier to spread lies about him than, to tell the truth.
