Amid rumours about his deteriorating health, two videos showing Vladimir Putin’s struggles in controlling his hands and legs have fuelled rumours that the Russian President has Parkinson’s.
Earlier this week, a video of a bloated Putin seen gripping a table as he slumped and tapped his foot continuously during a meeting with his defence chief, Sergei Shoigu, went viral, raising speculations that the President has Parkinson’s.
Two days ago, another video surfaced, reportedly filmed before Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The clip showed Putin’s hands shaking uncontrollably just moments before greeting his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko.
Putin has long been suspected of having a secret health battle – with theories ranging from cancer to Parkinson’s. And this latest appearance was one of the most shocking yet, as the Russian President did not exude his usual strongman bravado.
Putin looked dishevelled, in pain and distracted. These visuals are reminiscent of a clip showing German dictator Adolf Hitler’s deteriorating health as his country faced total defeat in the Second World War.
