According to media reports, Vladimir Putin was seen clutching his right hand firmly in apparent distress while addressing a crowd of supporters on a basketball court. Putin's hands have long been the subject of health rumours, ranging from Parkinson's to cancer.

Putin's health has received renewed attention following a leaked chat with Chinese President Xi Jinping in which the Russian leader explored potential avenues to longevity via organ donations and biotechnology.

According to Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to the Ukrainian interior ministry, "There's something wrong with Putin's hands. Apart from the fact that they're covered in blood up to the elbows, his veins are bulging too."

During the September summit in Beijing, Putin was overheard saying, "Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become. People used to rarely live to 70, but now at 70, you are still a child."

Many social media users have focused on past photographs of Putin's hands, noticing dark spots, IV marks, and occasional jerking when holding tables, which some take as indicators of serious sickness.

Kremlin Leavitt Dismisses Rumours

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Kremlin has repeatedly downplayed speculation about Putin's health, calling such stories "fake." She has consistently refuted health-related rumours. Karoline Leavitt claimed that the markings were the result of regular handshakes and the usage of aspirin as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention protocol.

In a recent statement, spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the president is "fit and well" and that talk of illness or body doubles is "absurd".

Putin is not the first world leader to confront questions about visible bruising or anomalies. Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump was pictured with black hand bruises, raising questions about his health.

Despite widespread conjecture, there has been no official confirmation of any disease. The changes in Putin's health continue to draw worldwide attention, as the leader's health remains a source of interest and concern.
