How are you Putin? Hypochondriac or sick chronic? Professor Michael Clarke, a war scholar at King’s College London, said the subject is hotly debated: what does the president have? What kind of pathology are you fighting against? One thing is certain, he said, and that is his doctors never stay away from him. The analyst speaking with Sky news also cited the case of botox used “massively”. Injections of botox relax the muscles of the face to smooth out lines and lines wrinklessuch as crow’s feet and expression lines.
Rumors about botox first surfaced after that Putin showed up for a meeting in Kiev with a large bruise around the eye. His spokesperson has always denied the use of Botox. Prof. Clarke’s comments come at a time when the rumors about Putin’s health are becoming more and more insistent and many suggest the 69-year-old is ill.
Last week it was claimed that the Russian leader received “urgent medical assistance” for an unknown disease. The Telegram channel of the SVR general, according to reports from a Kremlin insider, said that Putin was hit by a “severe malaise, weakness and dizziness“. And the Russian president would be advised not to make “long” public appearances. Symptoms would show up after he got up from his desk following a 90-minute virtual meeting.
There is a recent video in which Vladimir Putin looked rather shaky on his legs as he listened to Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov receiving an award for his work in the arts. Footage of the ceremony shows Putin standing just off the podium with his arms straight at his sides. It seems that he is struggling to stay still, he sways back and forth in a wave motion.
