Vladimir Putin looked off-colour at a conference with Belarusian ally Alexander Lukashenko today as the pair met to discuss the war in Ukraine.
The Russian president, 71, posed for cameras to shake hands with his counterpart in Minsk but appeared frail as he talked through developments in the conflict across the southern border.
-snips-
Putin appeared at a press conference after the meeting looking tired and rundown as Ukraine claimed minor successes in pushing back his shock advances in the Kharkiv region.
Much speculation has been made around the health of Putin, who was sworn in for his fifth term as president in March, some 24 years after he first took office.
Rumours about the Russian president's declining health, mental state and unstable position have swirled since long before he ordered the invasion on February 24, 2022, but the war has appeared to take a toll on Vladimir Vladimirovich.
Footage from official meetings and appearances has shown Putin gripping a table for support, tapping his feet, and looking unsteady as he walked, with his appearance becoming more rounded and puffy over the years.

You have no shame or self-respect whatsoever.
It’s probably stress.
Ah, the British tabloids again... If I had a nickel for every Mi-6-penned tale of Putin’s imminent demise has published over the last couple years, well, I’d have about five bucks.
He looks perfectly fine in the photos, far better than Biden on his best day.
I saw a video of him literally skipping down the ladder as he deplaned...and never once touched the handrail.
The entire story is utter BS...and you believe it.
What purple hands “Putin” doink? Even Lukashenko was horrified!
“Putin” nearly passed out at the press conference. And what’s up with the purple hands?
And he is the zeepers propaganda poster boi! 😆
How long has he been dying now? He should already be dead about 5X over according to the Daily Fail and other corporate media sources.
He had multiple clones made just for this situation.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
Purple hands is Reynaud’s syndrome, but his hands don’t look as purple as most who have this problem.
Watch the press conference! His left hand was dead as a dead fish and didn’t move once. Lol!
I remember one of the many claims that Putin was supposed to be dying, according to MI6.
And within days Putin visited a military factory, and he jumped up on a tank.
I guess MI6 has Chris Steele back in charge of the Russia Desk. They need someone who specializes in maximum propaganda and fabrication.
He looks like a million dollars compared to our corpse of a (P)resident.
it's the botox. He doesn't want his hands to age too quickly.
What “Putin” eyebrow makeup doink?
Ramzan Kadyrov isn't looking good either.
