Putin‘s Hand Appearance Revives Health Concerns
Recent videoโค footage of Russian President โVladimir โขPutin has again ignited speculation regarding his health, specifically focusing on the visibly swollen appearance of his โฃhands. Theโ footage, circulatingโ widely online,โฃ shows Putin with noticeably bloated hands and prominent veins, prompting renewed discussion about potentialโ underlying โคmedical conditions.
The latest observations follow previous instancesโ that have fueledโ health rumors, including an incidentโฃ where Putin abruptlyโ grasped aโข table during a meeting and reportsโฃ ofโ visible shaking. While theโ Kremlin hasโ consistently refrained fromโค commenting on these โconcerns, the continued scrutiny underscores the global interestโข in the โstability and future leadership of Russia, particularly amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The speculation intensified on โขNovember 9, 2025, when user @raging545 posted on X (formerly Twitter) aโ video still and commentary about Putin’s hand appearance, also noting his footwear. The โpost โคquickly gained traction, adding to a growing online discourse.
This isn’t the first time a world leader’s physicalโข condition has become a topicโข of public debate. Earlier in 2025,former U.S. President Donald Trump faced similar onlineโ speculation after photographs surfaced showing darkโ bruises โคon his arm. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt swiftly dismissed those rumors, attributingโ the marks to โ”frequent handshakes.”
Beyond the visual observations, reports surfaced of Putin discussing โthe possibility โฃofโฃ extending life through organ transplants and โฃbiotechnology duringโค a conversation with โฃChinese President Xi Jinping, captured on โฃa “hot mic.”
The Kremlin has maintained โa strict policy of non-disclosure regarding Putin’s health, leaving observers to rely on publicly โฃavailable footage and reports โขfor assessment.โค The โlack of official information continues to fuel speculation and raises questions about โtransparency surrounding the health of a key global leader.
