Putin visits southern military district HQ in Rostov-on-Don<\/h3>\n

Vladimir Putin may have been dead for a year, with Russia instead using a series of so-called doppelgangers, a Ukrainian spy chief has sensationally claimed.<\/p>\n

Major-General Kyrylo Budanov has previously argued the Russian President has been \u201csick for some time\u201d and suggested he is suffering from cancer.<\/p>\n

And the 37-year-old, who has a reputation for making controversial allegations, told Anzhelika Rudenko during an interview with Radio Svoboda this week: \u201cThe Putin who everyone used to know was last seen around June 26, 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n

By way of evidence, Mr Budanov, 37, cited a viral video showing Putin glancing at his left wrist only to realise his watch was on the right.<\/p>\n

He was subsequently pictured taking the timepiece, thought to be a was on the hand on which it routinely sits \u00a312,500 Russian-made Raketa, and fidgeting with it.<\/p>\n

The meeting in question came one day before a private plan believed to have been carrying Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin crashed a few hundreds miles north-west of Moscow.<\/p>\n

In relation to the clip, Budanov was asked: \u201cIs this a real Putin?\u201d<\/p>\n

He replied: \u201cLet\u2019s leave it to everyone to decide, so everyone leaves it to their own fantasy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suggesting the person in the video was a body double, Mr Budanov was then put on the spot about whether or not he believed Putin was still alive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI don’t know what to answer you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to ABC News in January, Mr Budanov said of 70-year-old former KGB officer Putin: \u201cHe has been sick for a long time. I am sure he has cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he will die very quickly. I hope very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking in October, he suggested it was now \u201cusual practice\u201d for Putin to have body doubles standing in for him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cWe know specifically about three people that keep appearing, but how many there are, we don’t know. They all had plastic surgery to look alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing that gives them away is their height. It’s visible in videos and pictures. Also gesturing, body language and earlobes, since they are unique for every person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another video which did the rounds in March focused on the claim that Putin sent a doppelganger to Mariupol in March.<\/p>\n

The producers of the clip focused on Putin\u2019s appearance, claiming the ledge on his earlobe, a mole or wrinkles \u201cconstantly change\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Questions about Putin\u2019s health date back years.<\/p>\n

A story carried on the General SVR Telegram channel in December claimed he had been forced to stay in the same position for long periods during lengthy meetings, leaning on a table, while seated on a pillow having undergone \u201cproctological surgery\u201d.<\/p>\n

General SVR even claimed Putin the 70-year-old needed “special underwear that retains liquids and odours”.<\/p>\n

The channel claims the surgery was required after Putin fell down the stairs at his official residence – something the Kremlin denies.<\/p>\n
