1. Bracing his arm with the armrest and gripping the table to hide a tremor no doubt

perhaps there's something to the peristent rumours of Parkinson's or some other degenerative neurological condition.

[Brother Buzz]

5. There's always been something hinkey with his right arm - It doesn't swing when he walks

[Hekate]

8. I read something a couple of years ago about the way KGB agents were trained to carry their guns...

Something about being able to access it in a split second. The person was trying to “read” Putin’s body language, and said in his opinion Putin had carried a gun for so many years that he couldn’t walk any other way.

Not my area of expertise, but it stuck with me because it was interesting.

[riversedge]

22. yes. Interesting. Thanks for info.

[Bucky]

26. I think he inherited this trait from his biological father, Dr Strangelove

[SoonerPride]

27. Hahahahah

[applegrove]

2. Someone said his henchmen would be reluctant to pull off pollitical

assassinations for Putin this year as he is vulnerable to not being in power. And who of them wants to be not protected for crimes they commit on someone else's behalf? That doesn't help the Ukrainians but hopefully it means Putin is more cautious too.

[zuul]

3. He's trying to contain a monstrous fart.

[myohmy2]

41. nah...

...he'd just fart...

...more like a couple bad burritos...

...

[TreasonousBastard]

4. I am not a doctor, and even if I was I could not diagnose...

him from a distance. BUT...

He is clearly not well, and we cannot trust the man who has absolute power and a finger on the nuclear button.

When you see the face of death clearly, it can easily become the norm.

6. Two points

1. Why would they film him like that? Is that supposed to be his good side? Somebody on the twitters brought this up and I have this same question. Did people tell him not to do it and/or did he override their advice? Are all the media production people in prison?

2. For a man who (lol) just had a "massive heart attack" Sergei Shoigu looks a hell of a lot healthier than his boss.

[LisaL]

13. I guess the lesson here is don't believe all rumors.

Clearly Shoigu didn't have a massive heart attack.

[ZZenith]

7. Looks like he's been drinking his own tea.

How sad for him.

[Hekate]

9. He looks so tightly wound he could go sproing at any moment. He does not look at all well.

I hope it’s nothing trivial.

[SunSeeker]

10. He was having the meeting to congratulate Gen. Shoigu on his "victory" in Ukraine.

But Putin cannot muster even a forced smile.

This photo op totally backfired, LOL.

[Joinfortmill]

11. Good. I hope Satan takes him soon.

[tanyev]

24. Dasvidaniya!

[Auggie]

14. It doesn't look real ... head is out of proportion and there's no neck

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. He's had a bloated look in recent months. . . . nt

[obamanut2012]

25. It is 100% real

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. His legs look very thin, too. . . nt

[Emile]

17. If we're lucky he'll have a stroke today and die!

[2naSalit]

18. His face looks like...

He's been using coloring on his face, his hands look pale.

[eShirl]

19. IMHO he's in pain

and trying to ignore it

[drmeow]

33. That was my thought

He's in pain

[Walleye]

20. His clothes don't fit right, it looks like he's lost weight

haven’t seen him shirtless lately

[riversedge]

21. The right hand, the one gripping the table the whole time, is the one he can't control. See this vid

There does seem to be something odd going on with his right side. But I am no Doctor. Time will tell




The right hand, the one gripping the table the whole time, is the one he can't control. See this video also:

The fact that they have released this video regardless could mean two things. Either it's the best footage of Putin they have (others is even worse), or someone wants the world to see him in that condition (and Putin cannot control it anymore). Both would be nice.

[PatSeg]

29. Yes, it definitely looks like something

is wrong with him. Besides the tremor in his right hand, he was walking very unsteady.

[Hekate]

36. That video looks very bad. Right hand,right side of body, gait. Oopsie. In a hurry to get his legacy

…all ready for the history books on the glorious reunification of Greater Russia?

God help the Ukrainians.

[Bucky]

23. I don't like that man

[hamsterjill]

28. This looks photoshopped to me.

If it’s legit, then there’s definitely something going on with those hands. They look too big for the body and look off color.

[Hav]

31. Here's a 30 min video of the meeting

[mindfulNJ]

32. Interesting

He doesn't look at all comfortable sitting there. His posture doesn't look natural...almost like he's strapped to the chair. He is constantly moving his feet in a very odd way. At one point he puts his arm on the desk behind the table for a minute and then looks at it first before he moves it off. Something ain't right with old Vladdy.

[dsp3000]

34. also- shoigu is not dead either... despite having heart attack

[sir pball]

30. I've heard his father died in horrific pain from spinal cancer

That photo certainly could be of a man whose back feels like a red-hot poker.

Pleasant thoughts for a sunny morning…

[LetMyPeopleVote]

35. So, @KremlinRussia_E . What's happening?!

[blue neen]

37. The dude has very strong signs of Parkinson's disease.

He's not well at all.

[jcgoldie]

38. Nothing like going all in on genocide when the writing's on the wall

I'm quite sure there's a psychological explanation involved that I simply do not understand. Maybe the USSR is all he ever cared about and he's running out of time.

[Raine]

40. I hope he's in constant pain from a terminal illness

and soon dies screaming in agonizing pain. 🤞

[LetMyPeopleVote]

42. This is probably the clearest video of something being wrong with Putin's health.
