The Kremlin has officially denied online reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has suffered an alleged heart attack. “Everything is going well with him. As usual, this is a duck,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Previously, a widely read Russian Telegram blog claimed that Putin suffered a heart attack last weekend and was resuscitated by doctors. Although the credibility of the report is low, the Kremlin felt compelled to deny it. Peskov spoke about false Western media reports.
Peskov: “There are no doubles”
There is constant speculation about the health of the 71-year-old Russian head of state, but there is no confirmed information about any illnesses. Peskov also denied claims that Putin had his own doppelgängers who performed for him during appearances. “I can say that there are no lookalikes,” he said.
Health an issue before the presidential election
However, how healthy Putin is is a topic in Russia in the run-up to the upcoming presidential elections in 2024. The date has not yet been set. Putin has not yet announced his candidacy. But it is widely expected that he will stand for re-election.
The date for the elections, which are unlikely to be fair or free, has not yet been set, Peskov said, according to Russian news agency Interfax. “But they are getting closer and will certainly happen.”
