Kremlin denies Putin health rumors and ‘absurd’ body double claims.
The Kremlin Laughs Off Rumors of Putin’s Ill Health and Body Doubles
The Kremlin has dismissed rumors circulating in Western media that Russian President Vladimir Putin is suffering from ill health and uses body doubles, calling them “absolutely another fake” and a ”hoax.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov laughed off the claims, stating that ”this belongs to the category of absurd information hoaxes.”
In response to the rumors, the Kremlin released recent images of Putin meeting with Russia’s minister of industry and trade, Denis Manturov. These images serve as evidence of Putin’s well-being and contradict the allegations made by a self-styled Russian insider group called General SVR.
Speculation Surrounding Putin’s Health
Putin’s health has long been a topic of speculation, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is reported that he took extreme measures to protect himself from the virus, leading to a significant reduction in his international travel schedule. However, the Kremlin assures the public that Putin is in good health.
Addressing the Body Double Claims
In 2020, Putin himself addressed the rumors of using body doubles, stating that he was offered the opportunity to have one for security reasons during Russia’s war with Chechnya in the early 2000s. However, he declined the offer, emphasizing that he refused to have doubles during the ”most difficult time of the fight against terrorism.”
Despite the persistent rumors and speculation, the Kremlin remains firm in its denial of Putin’s ill health and use of body doubles.
