 A Russian doctor gave President Vladimir Putin a surprise diagnosis during his first visit to Chukotka in the country's Far East, according to Newsweek. The assessment was made after Putin arrived in Anadyr, the capital of the Chukotka region, by Chukotka District Hospital head of department Denis Kloss. The Russian leader is on his first regional trip of the year. Putin's health has been the subject of rumour for years. In October 2023, hundreds of thousands of Russians searched for information on the country's most popular search engine, Yandex, after an unfounded rumour that Putin had suffered a cardiac arrest, made headlines around the globe. Kloss assessed Putin's condition as excellent. Cheerful voice, cheerful gait. How he represents thought. It is accessible. It is understandable. There are no other political leaders overseas, even Kloss. Russia's state-run news agency, Ria Navosti, reported Kloss as saying. The doctor advised Putin to get more rest, saying that it plays a major role in longevity. He also compared the 71-year-old's health favorably with that of President Joe Biden. Age has a colossal impact on Biden. Even though he seems to have a healthy lifestyle and diet, age has definitely taken its toll, the doctor said. Putin told residents of Anadyr that he devotes two to two and a half hours to sports daily. Sharing his secret to a healthy life, Putin said, you need to love the work you do. I love.
