One of the rumors that has been rather prevalent during the war in Ukraine waged by Vladimir Putin is that he is sick. Nobody really knows exactly how sick or what the illness is, but there are one or two theories that make sense.

Recently, during Pascha service (Easter for the Orthodox Church), Vladimir Putin can be seen looking very fidgety and a bit uneasy. You can even see him biting on his lip. This is extremely unlikely of the Russian president, and many are suggesting that this is just part of him trying to cover up his illness.

To go along with the illness theory, take a look at this video below of him speaking with Sergei Shoigu and during the discussion, you can see Putin gripping the table with his hand in which Louise Mensch has said is a sign that he has Parkinson’s disease and that in order to stop himself from shaking uncontrollably, he is gripping the table. She pointed out that if you look at his foot, you can also see that he continues to tap it throughout the talk.

PS: I reported, Vladimir Putin has Parkinson’s disease and here you can see him gripping the table so that his shaking hand is not visible but he cannot stop his foot from tapping. https://t.co/BCRQzB9haP https://t.co/Yq2GbLxyfo

Maybe he does have Parkinson’s disease. Or maybe he needed to go to the restroom.

One thing I’m wondering though is that if it is indeed Parkinson’s, is it still so early that it is controllable? because when I see him holding a candle, it doesn’t appear to be too shaky. You would think that if it was that severe that the candle would have likely gone out or been dropped or that you would have at least seen it shaking like crazy.

Is it a sign of his illness? Is he feeling uneasy being in the church to worship God after being responsible for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians? Maybe he just really needed to go to the restroom. Who knows?
