Rumors about Russian President Vladimir Putin's health are reigniting after several reports claim he was hospitalized not for a routine check-up, but because of a serious problem he had while relaxing at his Moscow residence.

The issue took off with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov quickly denying the rumours, stressing that indeed the Russian president had the usual medical check-up and that he is in good health.

Food for comments about the deterioration of Putin's health has been given by his last television appearance with the Minister of Health of Russia, Mikhail Murasko, by his side, the British newspaper Daily Mail points out.

The Russian leader's speech was aimed at encouraging citizens to get vaccinated to protect their bodies against the flu. "Doctors at the Central Clinical Hospital, where I regularly undergo examinations, also recommend that I receive domestically produced vaccines," said the head of the Kremlin, a comment that hinted that he is not in good health, which colleagues his immediately tried to deny the rumours.

As the Daily Express newspaper reports, new speculation about the Russian leader's deteriorating health monopolized media interest with the Kremlin immediately issuing a statement denying that there is any problem with the Russian leader.


However, the Russian president's facial scratching during his televised address last Wednesday particularly worried the international community. Based on the reports of the Metro and Daily Express newspapers, rumors have spread that he had done a lot of botox treatments and because of this he had developed intense itchiness on his face. He scratched his cheek once, then his neck and several times his forehead.

The health of the Russian leader has been in the center of international media attention for several years, especially during the pandemic where the disease COVID-19 spread rapidly around the world.

He himself took extraordinary measures to stay safe with officials who were in quarantine for two weeks or more before coming into contact with him. Additionally, the famous six-meter-long ice rink was also commented on at the time, where the Russian president welcomed Western leaders by avoiding the traditional handshake while making them sit in front of him at a great distance.

There have also been many reports that he often moves his arms and legs without controlling his movements with many believing that he suffers from Parkinson's disease. In addition, on several occasions he has been seen walking with a limp.

Leaked reports suggest that Putin travels with a cancer surgeon by his side at all times. Political analysts have noted long and unexcused absences from public life with pre-recorded televised meetings giving the impression that Putin is working around the clock. In addition, the Kremlin has previously been forced to deny claims that Putin is no longer alive and has been replaced by a bodyguard.
