Ukraine Intel Chief Suggest More Evidence of Putin Body Double
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine got into full swing back in the pre-spring days of February, international observers were shocked by the brazen action by Vladimir Putin.
Sure, Russia has long been a bit of an unpredictable mess, but this seemed beyond the pale…even for the former KGB agent.
But then, as the poor choices continued to pile up, it became rather obvious that Putin was turning fatalist. This is about the time that Pentagon sources revealed his alleged terminal bowel cancer.
Now, as further evidence of his health troubles arise, the chief intel officer of Ukraine is again suggesting that the Russian President is using a body double.
This week, Ukraine’s newly-appointed military intelligence chief, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, told Ukrainian TV that Putin’s height and even ears appear to have changed in recent appearances.
“The picture, let’s say, of the ears, is different,” he said during an appearance on the channel ‘Groshi’, meaning money.
“And it’s like a fingerprint, each person’s ear picture is unique. It cannot be repeated.”

And that wasn’t all:
He claimed that although very similar, the Putin body doubles “have different habits, different mannerisms, different gaits, sometimes even different heights if you looked closely”.
Budanov earlier claimed that Putin was replaced by a body double during a recent trip to Iran.
He told Ukraine’s 1+1 news channel that the president appeared more energetic than usual when he touched down for talks with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Should Putin be on his way to meet his maker, his passing would almost certainly be the harbinger of a new global order, and one that may or may not see Russia continue to exist in the same capacity as she does now.
