While the war between Russia and Ukraine continued, allegations that Russian President Putin used stunts came to the fore again. He claimed that his stunt double went instead of Putin during his visit to Ukraine, Crimea and Mariupol. As proof, photographs with three different chins were shown.
VISIT FROM PUTIN TO OCCUPED AREAS
Putin had arrived in Crimea on the anniversary week of the annexation of Crimea by Russia in an illegitimate referendum on March 16, 2014. Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev confirmed Putin’s visit to Crimea and stated that he attended the opening of an art school for children. It was seen that Putin, who completed his contacts, used the official vehicle himself while leaving the building.
After Crimea, Putin had arrived in the city of Mariupol, which was controlled by the Russian army. In a statement from the Kremlin, “Vladimir Putin arrived in Mariupol by helicopter. He toured various districts of the city, examined the yacht club on the coastline, the theater building, and historical places. Putin spoke with local residents in the Nevsky district. He went to their home upon the invitation of one of the families.”
ARE THERE 3 DIFFERENT PUTINS?
After the visits, a remarkable claim came from the Ukrainian intelligence. Allegedly, it was stated that the person who made the visit was not Putin, but his double. The claim in question was based on 3 different photographs published. In the photos, it was seen that Putin’s jaw structure was different. It is stated that the Russian leader likened 3 stuntmen to himself with aesthetic operations and they appeared from time to time. In this way, it was claimed that he reduced the possibility of assassination and hid his illness.
