Russian President Vladimir Putin is fit and fine: Sergey Lavrov
New Delhi: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected rumors of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s worsening health on Sunday.
“President Vladimir Putin makes public appearances on a daily basis. You can see him on TV screens, and read and listen to his speeches. I don’t think that a sane person can suspect any signs of an illness or ailment in this man,” he said.
“I will leave it on the conscience of those who disseminate such rumors despite daily opportunities for everyone to see how he and others look like,” he told the French Media.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in response to a request for help by the heads of the Donbas republics. Putin stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories, but aimed to demilitarize and denazify the country.
