The Kremlin dismissed speculations regarding Vladimir Putin's health, asserting his fitness. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov denied claims of the president using body doubles, labeling them as an "absurd hoax." The inquiries arose after an unsourced report from a Russian Telegram channel, later picked up by Western media, alleged a significant health incident for the president on a Sunday evening. Putin, known for his active image, celebrated his 71st birthday on October 7 and maintains a demanding schedule of meetings and public appearances, often televised, as evidenced by his recent visit to China and Russian cities.
