A new video of Russian President Vladimir Putin frequently moving his leg while sitting in a meeting has further fueled rumors that the Russian leader is not in good health.
This video is not the only one that has been speculated about the state of health of the first man in Russia for days.
The video, which was released two days ago, shows the Russian leader talking to his Tajik counterpart, Emomali Rahmon. During the conversation, he raised and lowered his leg several times.
Multiple media outlets reported that he "twisted his leg strangely, as if fighting the sudden movements of his legs."
It is noted that the leader of Tajikistan looked at Putin "with concern."
In recent weeks there has been a lot of speculation about the state of health of the Russian president, even health experts and politicians have speculated that the Russian state leader may be suffering from a serious illness.
Parkinson's disease - a brain disorder that affects motor skills - is a condition that commentators often cite as the cause of his problems and "unusual behavior."
Restless legs syndrome, an uncontrolled urge to move the lower limbs and legs, is a symptom often experienced by people suffering from Parkinson's disease.
Footage from the parade in Moscow
At the Victory Day celebration in Moscow on May 9, Putin gave a speech in which many witnesses and observers noted that he acted as if he had difficulty walking, so he appeared to be limping.
During the parade he sat covered with a blanket, and even then he was often seen moving his leg.
Video from the meeting with Shoigu
In late April, Putin was filmed talking to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in the Kremlin, but he appeared puffy-faced and depressed. Many people noticed that he behaved as if he had sunk into the armchair in which he was sitting, and it is noticeable that he kept his hand on the table all the time. He also often stamped his foot on the floor during the meeting.
The 69-year-old's face and neck appeared extremely swollen, prompting claims that the Russian president is undergoing steroid treatment, while reports suggest he is regularly accompanied by a doctor specializing in thyroid cancer.
Surgeon Yevgeny Selivanov is from the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow, he has flown to the Black Sea resort of Sochi - one of the Russian president's favorite destinations - dozens of times in recent years.
Video from the meeting with Lukashenko
Another video that has fueled speculation about Putin's "poor health" is one that shows him welcoming his Belarusian counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko, as his hand begins to shake violently.
He pulls it close to his body in an attempt to soothe his arm. However, he does not succeed in this. Later, Putin was seen sitting in a chair and unable to settle down, so he was constantly moving and kicking his feet.
Rumors about the Russian president have circulated before, including that he is battling Parkinson's disease, dementia or cancer.
Moscow has repeatedly rejected accusations that Putin is seriously ill.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has previously denied rumors that he has undergone thyroid cancer surgery. /Telegraph/
