Putin Declares Good Health After Recent Check-Up
Russian President Vladimir Putin has assured the public about his health following a lengthy medical check-up that lasted two days. He made this announcement during the AI Journey forum held in Moscow, where he was invited to test an AI-powered device that measures pulse and blood pressure via fingertip scanning.
The 73-year-old leader, flanked by security personnel, stated, “I recently had my annual check-up. It took two and a half days, including an overnight stay at the clinic. Thank God, everything is fine,” according to reports.
This statement comes amid ongoing speculation regarding his health. Observers noted a recent incident on November 9, where Putin appeared with a bruised or swollen hand. A close-up photo shared on social media raised concerns, with Ukrainian presidential advisor Anton Gerashchenko suggesting there might be health issues at play.
In the past, rumors about Putin’s health have circulated, with various sources reporting that he may be battling serious conditions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously hinted at concerns about Putin’s wellbeing, even predicting he might “die soon.”
During the AI forum, Putin also expressed thoughts on human longevity, suggesting that it might one day be possible for people to live up to 150 years. He remarked, “It is probably possible to reach 150,” and added, “But it will always be too few, just like with money — always.”
In a lighthearted moment, Putin watched a robotic performance at the event and commented on its beauty. He has previously engaged in discussions about biotechnology and the quest for extended life, particularly during a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Despite the swirling rumors, Putin remains confident in his health and future, presenting a composed image during public appearances.
