During a press briefing, Putin began to stutter and lose his train of thought

During his most recent briefing for Russian journalists, Vladimir Putin began to stutter and lose his train of thought. His behavior once again drew attention during a public appearance.

Putin will soon turn 74. One expert suggested that the Russian president is “getting older and older.” At the same time, the Kremlin continues to deny any health problems Putin may have.

Journalist Allison Quinn of The Daily Beast, who worked for nearly ten years in Moscow and Kyiv, learned Russian on the job and analyzed Putin’s remarks to Russian journalists, reaching an alarming conclusion.

“Putin is so angry at the Soviet Union, but he also looks older and older. While it used to be a little scary, now he stutters, doesn’t look his best, and you can tell he’s nervous. Because he knows that if he loses the war—I think he truly believes—he’ll be killed,” the journalist said.

Allison also notes that Putin “constantly stares at the floor, loses his train of thought, makes strange movements, and takes a long time to choose his words.”

"He accused Ukraine of killing civilians during one of the strikes. But the most striking thing was that he didn’t seem to actually understand what he was talking about," the journalist emphasized.

The Daily Star reports on this.

Putin has increased the size of the Russian army for the fourth time this year.

Putin rejected a proposal to halt strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was unable to name a specific reason why Moscow placed Russian assets of the Swiss company Nestlé under temporary administration. When asked by a Swiss journalist, he said that Russia was allegedly “not punishing anyone,” but merely responding to the actions of other countries. At the same time, the Kremlin had previously explained the decision regarding Nestlé by citing the company’s affiliation with a so-called “unfriendly country.”
