Recent allegations suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin has at least three body doubles, according to Ukrainian military intelligence.
This claim has been circulating for years, but it resurfaced after Putin’s New Year’s address was accused of being a deepfake made with AI. The bodydoubles are reportedly kept under strict guard and constant surveillance by the Russian secret services, with no independent lives of their own.
There have been various theories as to why Putin uses body doubles, including illness or paranoia about his security. Some political analysts have even suggested that the real Putin died in October 2023 and that the body doubles are being used to maintain the illusion of his leadership.
Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Yusov confirmed that many sources support this information, and it is no longer considered news or something that needs to be proven worldwide.
