Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov objected to information about Russian President Vladimir Putin appearing mainly in the Western media. “You may hear that Putin has a lot of doppelgängers working for him while he sits in the bunker. This is just another lie,” said Peskov.

The Kremlin spokesperson spoke at the Znanie youth forum on Monday. In her speech entitled “Lies about Russia”, she made an unconventional comment about speculation about Vladimir Putin’s doppelganger or ill health.
“You all saw what our president was like. He used to be hyper and he is hyper active now. We can barely keep up with him – I mean the people he works with. We can only envy his high energy.” . You can only hope to be healthy like him,” Peskov said in his speech.
Since last February, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began, there have been frequent reports that the Russian president used a doppelganger during his trips outside Moscow. And that includes travel to Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine.
For example, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, told the Washington Post in January that Putin had incurable cancer, fueling the speculation. At the same time, he stated that he uses several doubles. However, these claims have never been officially proven.
