Russian President Vladimir Putin is either "running scared" or "medically frail" as he dodges major televised events, it has been claimed.
After refusing to travel to the G-20 in Bali, the despot is forecast to avoid other televised events with the media, including his annual press conference in Moscow - in order to avoid being quizzed about Russian war failures in Ukraine.
While the major end-of-year session typically takes place between December 14 and 23, the Kremlin is refusing to confirm when it will exactly be.
