Vladimir Putin 's latest public appearance has reignited speculation that he could be suffering from undisclosed health issues.
The Russian leader, 69, was seen moving awkwardly as he watched a string of military exercises alongside out-of-favour defence minister Sergei Shoigu in the country's Far East on Tuesday (September 7).
One clip from the scene showed him walking with a slight 'limp' across a command post, with a step down before a row of chairs appearing to give him a moment's pause.
