Lavrov Speaks About Putin's Health Condition

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has denied rumors regarding President Vladimir Putin's poor health. He made this statement during an interview with French television channel TF1.

“President Vladimir Putin appears in public every day. He can be seen on screens, and his speeches can be read and heard. I do not think reasonable people can see any signs of illness or poor health in this person. I leave it to the conscience of those who spread such news, despite the daily opportunities to confirm who and what he looks like,” Lavrov responded to a question about the veracity of reports claiming Putin is ill.
