Putin sees himself limping during the Victory Day parade

The 69-year-old Russian leader took part in the event, which commemorates the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945 to deliver a speech during which he designed an image of Russian military force and power despite the wavering war in Ukraine.

But at some points, including when he left the platform to speak and went to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier to establish a crown, Putin seemed to be walking with a heavy step.

And, during the parade itself, he was seen sitting with a heavy blanket on his knees, despite that war veterans were sitting around him with uncovered laps.

Each of these incidents would be easy enough to be dismissed, but getting together they would do little to get rid of the constant rumors that Putin is suffering health problems, broadcast the Daily Mail.

Two years before deciding to invade Ukraine, speculation began to circulate on Putin's health, including suggestions that he had undergone a cancer operation.

Valery Solovei, a prominent political analyst and critic of Putin, began spreading rumors at the end of 2020, suggesting he also suffered from Parkinson's disease.

Drowning is one of Parkinson's major symptoms of a situation that is thought to have afflicted Adolf Hitler at the end of World War II.
