Ukraine News: Zelenskyy asks if Putin is alive – the Kremlin answers

After rumors about Vladimir Putin’s alleged doppelganger, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not really believe that the head of the Kremlin is still alive. “I don’t finally understand whether he’s alive,” says Zelenskyj via video at the World Economic Forum in Davos, according to a statement. He is not sure whether the 70-year-old shown on the screens is the real Putin. It is also unclear who makes decisions in Russia at allsays the 44-year-old on the question of possible peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov once said that he believed there were several doubles of Putin. In fact, Putin once said that he had been advised in the past to use a double at official meetings for security reasons. “The idea came up, but I gave up on doubles,” he said.

The Kremlin once again rejects the doubts expressed by Kyiv about the existence of Putin. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said the existence of Putin and Russia was a psychological problem for Zelenskyy. The sooner Kyiv realizes that both Russia and Putin will stay in the future, the better for Ukraine. According to Peskov, Putin only took an ice bath on Thursday. Epiphany, the festival of the Baptist, is celebrated in Russia on January 19th. Millions of Orthodox Christians traditionally go ice bathing on the day to wash away their sins.
