Vladimir Putin has sparked more rumours over his ill health after being seen coughing at Russia’s Victory Day parade with a blanket draped over his legs.
The Russian leader was spotted keeping warm with a heavy blanket as he oversaw the massive parade of his country’s military might to mark the day that Russia effectively brought World War Two to a close.
While it was a slightly chilly 9C in Moscow this morning, none of the other senior Kremlin dignitaries watching the march-past felt the need for a blanket - adding to concerns that the Russian leader’s health could be failing.
