Putin might have three body doubles – Ukrainian military intelligence
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin might have three body doubles, Spokesperson for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine Andriy Yusov has said.
"This is not a probability. He does have [body doubles]. It's a fact. As for reports by anonymous Telegram channels about his [Putin's] death. Unfortunately, this information was not confirmed. But as for his body doubles, yes, the Kremlin uses such practice," he said on the air of the national telethon on Thursday.
When asked about the number of such body doubles, Yusov said: "We understand that there might be options, however we can speak of three of them."
