Vladimir Putin is allegedly utilizing body doubles, according to the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, who has referred to Putin’s evolving ears as evidence.
The health of the 69-year-old Russian president has generated heated debate among analysts.
According to reports, the president’s close friend and ally Nicolai Patrushev filled in for him while he had appointments with the doctor.
According to The Sun, Major General Kyrylo Budanov of Ukraine claimed this week on television that Putin’s height and ears had changed in previous appearances.
The image, instance, of the ears, is distinct, he remarked. Additionally, each person’s ear picture is distinctive, just like a fingerprint. It can’t be done again.
Budanov further alleged that Putin body doubles ‘have different habits, different mannerisms, different gaits, sometimes even different heights if you looked closely’.
According to the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Budanov had earlier indicated that Vladimir Putin’s arrival at a summit in Tehran this week may have involved the deployment of a body double.
The Russian president appeared embarrassed as he descended from his presidential aircraft in Tehran, but Ukrainian sources noticed that he moved more rapidly and alertly than in previous public appearances.
The Russian president gave the waiting group a cheery hello before taking off his jacket and getting into a heavily armored car.
Major-General Kyrylo Budanov, head of intelligence, gave a strange live interview on Ukraine’s 1+1 news station.
According to Ukrainian reports, Budanov hypothesized that a Putin impersonator might have traveled to Tehran to speak with the leaders of Iran and Turkey.
‘I will only hint,’ he said.
‘Please look at the moment of Putin’s exit from the plane. Is it Putin at all?’
The visit of the Russian leader to Tehran, where he visited the Iranian leadership as well as the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoan, received media attention on a global scale.
Since beginning his savage assault of Ukraine five months ago, Putin has only traveled overseas twice.
In one video, Erdoan kept Putin waiting while the Russian president shuffling his feet and making odd facial gestures, giving the impression that he was uncomfortable.
Ukraine did not, however, indicate previously that this was a Putin double.
When the meeting in Tehran took place, Erdogan had Putin wait, according to official Anton Gerashchenko’s Telegram post.
‘The whole spectrum of emotions of the humiliated and insulted Führer is on his face.
‘The bunker is indeed the best place to stay with such a face.’
