Putin is hosting the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in Moscow. It was founded in 1992 and unites the six countries of the former Soviet Union. This is a military alliance.

The 69-year-old Russian president made a fresh impression at a meeting with the leaders of Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

He moves without difficulty, moves his hands, smiles when he speaks and acts energetically. There is no indication that he is suffering from any serious health problems, as the media has recently reported.

The last time Carl Senior, a neuropsychologist and behavioral science expert from Aston University in Birmingham, England, commented on the Russian president’s allegedly deteriorating health condition for the British newspaper The Daily Mail.

The senior claimed that Putin was withering before his eyes. According to him, the clear signs of deteriorating condition cannot be ignored, which is marked by the war which lasted longer than originally planned.

“The giant action man has become the shadow of the man hiding behind the cute big table,” said Senior.

He alluded to a series of recent meetings in which Putin received diners seated behind long, static-looking tables.

Putin’s health has been the subject of much conjecture for a long time. In recent weeks, speculation has mounted, suggesting that Putin’s declining health could affect his ability to think rationally.

Soon after the invasion of Ukraine began, Western intelligence began to speculate that he had dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or the effects of steroid cancer treatment.
