A video of Russian President Vladimir Putin gripping a table during a televised meeting Thursday sparked concerns over his health, which some have claimed has deteriorated since the start of his country's invasion of Ukraine.
Putin's posture during the meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, during which he was purportedly slouched in his chair while holding tight to the table, raised questions about the president's health.Critics have also questioned Shoigu's health, which some suspect led to the defense minister being sidelined during the invasion due to his own medical problems or a disagreement with the invasion, according to the Telegraph.
“You successfully completed the combat effort to liberate Mariupol. Let me congratulate you on this occasion, and please convey my congratulations to the troops,” Putin said. Putin's health has been in question since he ordered the invasion in February. The Russian leader's face and neck have appeared bloated in recent appearances, leading experts to suggest he is either taking steroids or undergoing chemotherapy. Putin was visited by a doctor who specializes in thyroid cancer 35 times and an ears, nose, and throat specialist 59 times between 2016 and 2020, according to Russian investigative news outlet Proekt.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the address and examples of disinformation being amplified online, noting that while conspiracies always existed, for-profit companies are spreading them far more than before. Melber also distinguishes between the “information victims' who believe these lies, and those who pedal them.
