A bloated Vladimir Putin has been seen gripping a table whilst slouching in his chair during a televised meeting with his defence minister amid rumours the Russian strongman is battling cancer.
In a rare live appearance, Putin claimed Russia had 'liberated' the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol, as he savagely ordered Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu to seal off all routes out of the Azovstal steelworks where defiant Ukrainians are holed up 'so that even a fly cannot pass through'.
But Putin's poor posture and his apparently bloated face and neck sparked speculation about the Russian leader's health, which has reportedly been in decline since his invasion of Ukraine.
Video showed Putin speaking to Shoigu whilst gripping the edge of the table with his right hand - so hard that it appears white - and tapping his foot consistently.
Shoigu does not appear to have fared any better in the eight weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, with the defence minister slurring his words and reading from his notes following an apparent heart attack.

Well since he has 1 foot in the grave already and it’s only a matter of hours if not seconds we should immediately lift sanctions./s
Is that like the HUGE RABBIT THAT JIMMY CARTER hung around with when he was in the White House?????
This is narrative setting for a third assassination attempt by the deep state. That is why so many generals, colonels and FSB have died in the “war”.
Two old dudes at a diner
This isn’t a good look. A few possibilities but he looks distressed/in pain. He’s had this puffy face at least since the start of the war.

Bought to you buy, the CIA.
Food for dupes.
Your hero probably isn’t long for this world. Is he nuts enough to take the rest of it with him? Your types would love it for sure.
I couldn’t understand you, sorry. Don’t talk with your mouth full.
I’ve seen these rumors about Putin’s health for some time now. I never saw any actual evidence of it before, but these pictures sure do strike one as a man in clear distress and poor health.
He truly looks bad. The “pinched” look on his face, the bloat, and the hand gripping the table are not “normal” for most people. Nobody holds onto a table like that while sitting.
It certainly could partially explain his recent “irrational” behavior.
He’s not only tapping his foot, he’s flexing his leg as if he’s in pain. At one point, he grips the table with both hands. Which suggests to me he’s suffering from vertigo and feels like he’s going to fall over and is hanging on for dear life. The foot tapping is weird. I’d say he’s in intense pain and can’t wait to get up and out of there.
Big talk for someone whose lips are firmly wedged between Putin’s ass cheeks
The world needs to get rid of all these old fools.
Don’t vote for anyone over 70.
gripping table and tapping foot indicate Parkinson’s Disease ... and the meds for that typically have nasty side-effects ...
yeah, tapping foot and gripping table indicate Parkinson’s ... meds for that have nasty side-effects ...
There’s definitely something wrong with him. He looks like he’s trying not to hurl! Hmmmmm....
I don’t wish that on anyone, even Putin. But the worry now is that if he knows he’s on his way out he might decide to take much of the rest of the world with him via nuclear war.
“...Trap door button...”
🤣👍
Looks like it won’t be long now.
Hope he doesn’t decide to launch nukes, since he knows he’s leaving this world soon anyway.
‘’And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you’re bound to fall...’’ Good God this is a United States president.
Putin looks like he’s got two feet in the grave and only needs a good shove.
Or a bullet to the nape of the neck in the old Soviet style.
Joe needs to be out of office sitting in the day room of a nursing home on Xanax eating pudding and watching “Matlock’’ reruns.
