Bloodthirsty warmonger Vladimir Putin coughed and spluttered his way through an angry New Year's rant as he lashed out at the West.
The 70-year-old, who is rumoured to be plagued by failing health, was flanked by men and women in military uniforms as he gave a rambling speech about his catastrophic war.
A video of his New Year's address immediately sparked suspicions that some of those alongside him could be actors, as one of the women looks remarkably similar to a figure from previous appearances.
