Russian Foreign Minister denies rumors about President Putin’s health

“I don’t think ordinary people see in President Putin a sign that he has a health problem or is suffering from some disease,” Lavrov said. Mr. Lavrov said that President Putin will turn 70 in October, appearing in public every day. “You can see the President on the screen, read and listen to his speeches,” Lavrov said.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry also noted that such rumors belong to the conscience of those who spread them, although every day anyone can learn about the state of health of a certain politician.

Earlier in May, Foreign Minister Lavrov advised those in the West who doubt Putin’s health to contact the president’s foreign guests, such as world leaders with whom farmer Putin has met, including United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.

In March, Belarusian President Alexandr Lukashenko also said that President Putin is in better form than ever. According to him, all reports about Putin’s health problems are rumors spread by Western countries to discredit the head of state.

The health and private life of President Putin has always been a topic of interest to the Western media.
