Fresh claims of Vladimir Putin's use of a body double were aired after the despot was spotted checking the wrong wrist for his watch.<\/p>\n
The Russian president spotted glancing at his left arm during a Russian Council for Strategic Development and National Projects meeting, and people caught on to his blunder. <\/p>\n
Seemingly confused at where he placed his watch, the warmonger's glance to his left arm and subsequently his right, has seen some claim a body double is present. <\/p>\n

Putin has always worn watches on his right arm, making the seemingly innocuous moment one for Telegram conspiracy theorists to tear into as a new sign of body double use.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was believed Putin, 70, was pushing to "create the appearance of active work", as the General SVR Telegram channel claims the sickly-looking president was reliant on doppelgangers. <\/p>\n
They wrote the "wrong wrist" moment for the alleged lookalike gave the game away and the "embarrassment" which followed could unveil proof of a body double.<\/p>\n
Further allegations of video tampering were levelled at the Kremlin, with the Telegram channel claiming the footage was doctored to edit out the blunder.<\/p>\n
They said: "The double completely forgot that Putin wears a watch on his right hand, out of habit raised his left hand to check the time. Not finding a watch there, [he] embarrassedly lowered it."<\/p>\n

Preceding the watch gaffe was the ploy to create an "active work" appearance, where Putin was seen "diligently wielding a pen, writing down some nonsense on his papers" while "not forgetting to cough and grunt imitating the president".<\/p>\n
The channel has long claimed Putin is terminally ill and now reliant on body doubles to make public appearances on his behalf.<\/p>\n
General SVR further claimed: "The real Putin would never try to look at the time on the hand where he does not wear a watch and would not be surprised at the absence of a watch on his left hand, since he always wears them on his right hand."<\/p>\n
Political analyst Dr Valery Solovey claims the president can "hardly get out of bed" and Western leaders were aware he was "getting worse literally day by day".<\/p>\n
