Putin’s frail appearance sparked by ‘very serious psychological blow’ | World | News
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s physical condition has come under scrutiny after the Kremlin leader cut a noticeably thin figure in a series of recent public appearances.
Concerns about Putin’s health were first raised during a major speech at the Kremlin earlier this month, when he was seen slurring his words after what some described as a “mini-stroke”.
A former speechwriter claimed the 73-year-old suffered a stroke in 2022.
“Actually, this is the first time I noticed these [stroke-like] The symptoms in Putin appeared in 2022, a few months after the start of the war, when it became clear that a fast and dashing cavalry charge did not win the war and this was a very serious psychological blow for him,” he told Any News, a Ukrainian media project.
“Then he started shaking; you know, his hand was shaking, his leg was shaking.”
“This is a strategic partnership that serves as a key stabilizing factor in the Asia-Pacific amid geopolitical turbulence, contributing to the formation of a balanced security architecture and fair, mutually beneficial cooperation,” Putin said, looking visibly weakened.
