Vladimir Putin using body double? Ukraine floats new theory amid health rumours

Amid rumours circulating thick and fast about the “deteriorating health” of Russian President Putin, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Major General Kyrylo Budanov is convinced that the Russian President is deploying body doubles to avoid exposing himself to the public, according to a report on Newsweek. In a recent interview to a Ukrainian TV channel, Budanov claimed that in his recent public appearances, Putin’s habits, appearance, gait and even height seem to have changed slightly.
