Vladimir Putin looks weak and frail amid ongoing rumours over the Russian President's health - as he holds talks in Belarus over the Ukraine war
Daily Mail ^ | 5/24/2024 | James Reynolds

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.

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.

I really don’t care what he looks like. I just cant wait for him to keel over along with Biden and the Z-ster for all the men they’ve run through their grinders. Add in the Nork Dork and Xi and Justin Castro too while I’m wishing.

What purple hands “Putin” doink? Even Lukashenko was horrified!

You're a kook, Marcus. Should we believe you, the Daily Mail or lying eyes?

It could be blood hyperviscosity from multiple myeloma or Waldenstrom’s disease. Both lead to the peripheral cyanosis.

I don’t put much hope in this. Putin’s replacement could be worse and likely will be no better. The problem is the entirety of Russia’s governance, for centuries, with a couple exceptions like Elizabeth.

Ever notice stories like this appear almost like magic when Russia starts to win the war? Every village captured is countered by a English Rocket sinking a Russian warship or a story of huge “Meatwave” Banzai attacks that win but leave thousands of Russians dead. A few more victories and we will be willing to give saint Zelenskyy Nukes to defend “Democrazy”.

Pooty Poot looks like he might be battling covid or a very bad cold.

Putin is a Communist. But do not make the mistake of underestimating Russia and the threat they pose. Toying with them is only making them stronger and more capable.

Putin is a lot of things, but a Communist isn’t one of them. He appreciated the power of the Soviet Union, but not its economic system.
