Julian Roepcke, an open data analyst at the daily Bild, suggested that the address may have been edited on video, with the still hands “drawn” to the body to hide the president’s illness or agitation.
“The filmed material shows that V. Putin threatens the whole world, and he himself cannot move his hands even once,” concluded J. Roepcke.
In the past, V. Putin often gestured during his speeches. The day after the address, during a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, V. Putin was already flipping through the pages of his speeches and occasionally gesticulating.
Conducted a new attack in response to Ukraine’s ATACMS missile strikes
15min reminds, V. Putin unexpectedly addressed the citizens of his country on Thursday evening and commented on the last events of this week, which exacerbated the tension not only between Russia and Ukraine, but also between Russia and Western countries.
According to the head of the Kremlin, his country’s forces hit Ukraine with a new medium-range ballistic missile.
V. Putin said that Russia conducted “combat tests of one of the latest Russian medium-range missile systems (…) Our engineers named it “Oreshnik”.
The Russian leader also explained that the war in Ukraine has acquired “elements of a global nature”.
According to V. Putin, in recent days, Ukraine’s attempts to strike Russian territory with missiles supplied by Western countries were allegedly unsuccessful.
“Our air defense systems repelled these attacks,” Putin said.
“The objectives that the enemy clearly set out have not been achieved,” he added, noting that this would not affect his “special military operation”.
