Vladimir Putin's health has been the subject of intense scrutiny over the last few months - with new video footage appearing to show his hands shaking adding to the rumour frenzy.
There have been unconfirmed suggestions that the Russian President is critically unwell, with everyone from Western doctors to armchair physicians pitching in to give their view. Speculation has only grown as Putin's invasion of Ukraine falters - with the Russian army falling far short of its aim to take Kyiv in four days.
The seemingly ill thought-out invasion has led many to muse whether a man once considered a master geopolitical strategist is plagued by poor health which is affecting his decision-making, the Mirror reports. One rumour that has hung over the 69-year-old leader since long before the invasion of Ukraine is that he has a condition affecting his central nervous system, such as Parkinson's.
