According to the British "Sun" local time on February 18, when Vladimir Putin (Vladimir Putin) met with visiting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at his official residence outside the capital Moscow, the 70-year-old Russian president's feet kept moving, which led to some speculation.
From the not too clear GIFs, you can know that when Putin is talking to Lukashenko, his feet are indeed moving a little frequently, and it is reported that Lukashenko has been sitting peacefully without any unnecessary movements, and even the expression on his face is quite serious.
British newspapers said that Putin's series of foot movements are like sending cipher code. Although this should be a joke, for Putin, a former agent, it is really not difficult to send a cipher code.
At the same time, the newspaper said "clichédly" that this was a manifestation of Putin's illness, "his feet were convulsing and spasming, which is a symptom of Parkinson's disease." In addition, they claim that Putin "has puffy cheeks and looks restless."
It is said that the British media is really particularly concerned about the health of the Russian president, and although the Kremlin has repeatedly reiterated that Putin is in good health, the British always spare no effort to prove that this is not the case.
According to them, the Russian president, who has just entered the ancient age, suffers from at least two diseases, Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer, both of which are very serious diseases. In addition, they believe that Putin has at least three stand-ins who exist to help the ailing Putin do more work.
It can only be said that it is true or false, false and false, what the truth is, or will be announced many years later, of course, it may always be a speculation.
According to the report, the meeting took place on the 17th, and the two old friends did not discuss much about the upcoming one-year anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but mainly focused on their expanding economic partnership. Putin said that bilateral trade between the two countries is on the rise, exceeding a record $43 billion (about 295.3 billion yuan) last year.
In the view of the Washington Post, the two people talking about this cannot be to avoid embarrassment. Lukashenko, 68, announced before leaving Minsk that Belarus would enter the battlefield only when it was attacked.
Putin "subtly" mentioned this during the meeting, "by the way, I watched your press conference yesterday." "It's good if you don't look. You may not be happy. "Lukashenko spoke frankly what was in his heart. But Putin said this was not the case, "Why? No, I'm happy to hear your position and opinion, you know. ”
During the conversation, Lukashenko stressed that Belarus has "100 percent" fulfilled its defense and security agreements with Russia and insisted that it "does more." But in the opinion of many commentators, what he has done so far cannot satisfy Putin.
Although Belarus is seen by some as a vassal state of Russia (economically and security-dependent), Lukashenko seems to want to counter this view with his decision.
