After a lull in rumours about Vladimir Putin's health, Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky has renewed the debate - suggesting the tyrant may have even died.
Mr Zelensky urged allies to send more weapons to the Ukrainian army as he addressed world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
His appeal came while discussing potential peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow and commenting on yesterday's helicopter "tragedy" in Brovary, in which 18 people died.
