I'm usually skeptical about body double claims but that's not him.

You don't have to conquer your people just conquer them mentally

It’s important note that world leaders always go back to their ancestral villagers before making important decisions. Like Kim Jong un going to the mountain ranges in Korea before a nuclear test. I think it is a tradition in Central Asia as well.

YEAH N.A.H., even I can tell it's NOT putin... 🤣🤣🤣

pa haha as if thats the real putin...are people blind?

[Michael]

Most likely his double. The real one is a coward hiding in his bunker.

[gawaink]

Couldn’t imagine Biden doing the rounds talking like this he would forget what they asked within 5 secs

[nikhilkayath]

The more I see this guy more I believe in reincarnation. It’s as if hitler came back to life. All his moves remind me of the nazi propaganda machine.

[TheMilkMan-]

Clearly a double, when have you seen him smile like that? Bodyguards seem more relaxed... Or a very good deepfake.

[Reading]

That is a Putin double, he is skinnier then Putin. Putin is deathly afraid of catching covid so he would never stand or be that close in proximity to other people. Has anybody seen how long his conference tables are and how much of a distance he keeps from his officers and generals? Literally a half a block of a distance.

[dayforit]

There is no way that is the little Tsar PutIer. The facial expressions, eye shape, demeanor, hand gestures... Not a chance. One of bunker grandpa's doubles for sure.

[marcblank]

Sad that Putin stopped focussing on improving the lives of ordinary Russians and now needs this propaganda while Russia's young men die needlessly

[PETE]

Oh a man of the people for the people and above all else for himself. Adolf Hitler did exactly the same behaviour.

[dugaslug]

How many Putins are there? And where are they all?

[danaugust]

Can't remember any American President willing to have a polite conversation with simple citizens 😢! Maybe they could learn something here!

[PragerFenster]

Good try. Seems to be one of his doubles again 😵‍💫

[karmaexpress]

🇺🇦✨UKRAINE GLORY✨🇺🇦 . The evil will be wiped off from earth

[achillesillyria]

He is a great man, he always works for his country. You well done

[oksamak]

Clone, not putin !
putin would never go that close to real people.
