The 'scar' was seen as Putin attended a midnight Easter service in Moscow A prominent diagonal line is seen upwards from left to right on the despot's neck
Intrigue has surfaced over a prominent 'scar' that was seen on Vladimir Putin's neck, adding to further speculation that the despot may be ill with cancer.
The marking was seen as he clasped a candle at a midnight Orthodox Easter cathedral service in Moscow at the weekend.
It has led to web discussion on whether it represents proof of credible claims initially made by Proekt [Project] media one year ago that Putin has suffered from thyroid cancer.
An investigation by the independent outlet revealed that the dictator is constantly accompanied by a surgeon - Yevgeny Selivanov, of Moscow's Central Clinical Hospital - specialising in thyroid cancer.
The scar appears as a prominent diagonal line upwards from left to right on his neck. It is clearly seen on footage and pictures posted by the Kremlin from the Easter service, yet is not always visible.
This comes after a possible US intelligence leak claimed that the Russian tyrant was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
Ukrainian media outlet Telegram channel Unian described the scar as the shape of the letter 'Z' - the swastika-style symbol used by Putin's invading forces.
'A strange scar in the shape of the letter 'Z' has been noticed on Putin's neck,' it posted.
'The unusual shots were taken on Easter when the dictator visited a cathedral.'
The Ukrainian outlet evidently took the Z-shape idea from political commentator and blogger Denis Kazaksky who posted: 'What is it with Volodya [Putin]?
'I think I have figured out where the 'Z' came from.'
A comment said: 'Well, he is supposed to have had thyroid cancer treatment.'

At the time plastic surgeon Amjad Al-Yousef commented: ‘In theory, after intubation [inserting a tube for surgical purposes] such a scar can remain, but this is only in theory.
‘It often happens that not even a scar remains as the skin heals.’
He was speaking before suspicions emerged that Putin suffers from thyroid cancer. Despite the claims, there is no evidence that the Russian tyrant has undergone surgery for removal of the thyroid gland which might involve an incision a few inches long across the front of the neck.
Al-Yousef suggested that instead it was not a scar but a mark in his loose skin - common in an ‘elderly person’.
If I had a dollar for every “news” report stating or implying that Putin is deathly ill, well, I’d have about five hundred bucks by now.
Thyroid and stomach cancer. Putin is headed for the last roundup. Hopefully this Putin blight is gone soon. Many FReepers will mourn his passing.
That’s nice for Putin... Anyway, back to War Talk!
I got 2 scars on my neck and nobody cares. Oh, three scars. Forgot about the one in back. 😂😂😂👍
Well, you’re dying too then.
100%. Oh, and I can’t control the weather either. Mere mortals can’t. 😂👍
Don’t forget, Russia is running out of ammo and missiles, too. Obviously, it looks like you are going senile by omitting that or it could be you have cancer of the brain.
Thanks..... Evey knock is a boost
There’s an old saying “be careful what you wish for...”.

Donnn Worry - Be Happy. Luckily we have St. Zelensky for that! :) He can do everything. xcept print his own US dollars....

I heard he cut himself shaving
Here I was hoping his elevens were up
better yet, if Z had a dollar for every “news” report stating or implying that Putin is deathly ill, well, he wouldn’t be around here with his begging bowl.
