Russia has described reports suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin is sick and unstable as “nothing but hoaxes.”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said this on Thursday when asked about Vladimir Putin’s health on a conference call with reporters.
Peskov said that the Russian President feels “fine” and that “he is in good health.”

According to CNN, Putin was visibly having symptoms of a cold during his visit to Tehran on Tuesday and coughing during meetings the next day, which he explained with heat and strong air conditioning.
“Yesterday it was very hot in Tehran — plus 38, and the air conditioning there was working full on there, so I apologize,” Putin said during a video conference on Wednesday.
