Is this proof Putin’s using a BODY DOUBLE?

Videos emerge showing the striking differences in despot

By Josh White

Vladimir Putin fooled the world by sending a body double to the war-torn Ukrainian city of mariupol this week, says a new online video.

The web footage claims the russian leader has a team of lookalikes for trips where he fears he could be in danger.

The video asks: ‘Who visited mariupol?’ and claims: ‘Specialists long ago noticed the differences between the body doubles. a ledge on Putin’s earlobe constantly changes, as does a small mole on his face.

‘One of the Putins has straight wrinkles on his face, the other has small and interrupted [wrinkles]. This is impossible even if he had botox injections.’

There have been persistent rumours that Putin uses body doubles but they have never been proved. The new video uses a slick medical-style analysis to show discrepancies in his appearance at different events.

Highlighting a weak-chinned image in Ukraine: the commentary says in russian: ‘Evidently the weakest double was sent to mariupol They forgot to put in his jaw.’

it asks: ‘How many Putins do we have? Who is ruling russia?’

Ukrainian propagandist anton Gerashchenko also posted images from the trip and taunted: ‘What’s up with your chin, Putin?’

One shows Putin, 70, giving a moscow speech, another shows him in the Crimean port of Sevastopol last Saturday and a third in from mariupol. in the first image his chin is tight. in Sevastopol it is sagging and in mariupol it is firmer but less so than in moscow. However, the differences could be down to photo angles and facial expressions.
