Since April 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been notably absent from public view, sparking speculation as to his whereabouts. However, today may mark his return as he's rumored to meet with Donald Trumps envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg.

Despite daily television broadcasts showing a weary-looking Putin, now 72, engaging with local officials and other domestic agendas, these appearances are assessed by experts as likely "canned"suggesting they were pre-recorded.
The enigmatic Russian leader has once again vanished from the public eye, marking the second time this year he's been absent for over a week, fueling widespread speculation about his health. Rumors have previously suggested that Putin uses these disappearances to undergo surgery for alleged serious medical conditions or to receive plastic surgery enhancements.
His partner, Alina Kabaeva, 41, has also been notably missing from the public scene since a gymnastics event in Kazan, coinciding with most of Putin's absence. The last confirmed sighting of Putin at a live public engagement was on April Fool's Day during meetings with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik.
