Moment grimacing ‘cancer-riddled’ Putin sits hunched and twitches in meeting with Europe’s last dictator

VLADIMIR Putin looked twitchy and hunched as rumours continue to swirl around his health.

New footage shows Putin today having a meeting with his close ally Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko.

Russia's mad tyrant was seated in a chair and once again appeared to looking uncomfortable.

He was awkwardly perched on his chair and sat hunched forward in front of the cameras during the meeting in Sochi.

His left foot appears to continuously move as he unnaturally pivots on his heel three times in less than one minute.

The dictator also rubs his fingers together as his hands appear to twitch - flexing them and forcing his thumb into his palm.

Vlad occasionally appears to grimace and gasp back his breaths - only further raising rumours and speculation about his health.

Lukashenko meanwhile nods along with his closest ally as he seeks to have Belarus joined at the hip with Russia.

Putin is looking increasingly haggard in recent appearances - with the tyrant due to turn 70 in October.

It is unclear if it is the natural ageing process or if he has something seriously wrong with him.

Kremlin officials have always denied all rumours about Putin's condition.

Reports have suggested that bloated Vlad is suffering from cancer, early stage dementia, and Parkinson's.

And there has been a visible decline in his physical condition.

It is far cry from the strongman image he once tried to portray with hunting photos and horse riding shirtless.

Lukashenko has previously been pictured alongside Putin when the tyrant looked shaky and unsteady on his feet.

He is alleged to be one of the few people who know the "real state of affairs with Putin's health".

It was claimed earlier that Lukashenko meetings were intended to show Putin was fit and well.

Rumours also rage that Putin may have recently undergone an operation linked to cancer treatment.

Experts have pointed that Putin looks ""weakened" in recent public appearances and has even been seen a doctor who specialises in Thyroid cancer.

The report by investigative Proekt media - which is blocked in Russia - states that surgeon Yevgeny Selivanov, of Moscow's Central Clinical Hospital, had flown to the Russian leader no less than 35 times in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

The discovery backs recent theories that Putin declared war when he was suffering medical problems hidden from the Russian people. 

Back in November 2020, political analyst Valery Solovei revealed the cancer and Parkinson's theory claiming that Putin also needed to have emergency surgery.

Video footage showed Putin's leg moving constantly and his fingers twitching, backing the Parkinson's theory.

Putin also suffered a coughing fit during a televised meeting but the claims about his health were disputed by Kremlin.

The report continues to identify medics who regularly travel with Putin on trips, especially in Sochi which he prefers to Moscow. 

Alongside Selivanov the Russian leader is also followed by a neurosurgeon.

Another surgeon Dr Alexey Shcheglov ";follows Putin so relentlessly that during public events he allegedly gets into joint photographs with the head of state.” 

It is believed the Kremlin tightly controls Putin's appearances - including even putting time limits on his meetings to try and maintain his strongman persona.

“In 2013, he held a symbolic face-off, and watched the match from the stands.”

At the time, this was also blamed on health issues.
