“It’d be boring if there weren’t rumors,” Putin said.
Last week, Vladimir Putin`s lack of public appearances led to a flurry of theories in the media about his whereabouts, including rumors on his health.
Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev on Monday killed all rumors about the Russian president`s health, saying Putin’s not just on his feet, but also “hotrodding behind the wheel.”
“[Russian President] Vladimir Vladimirovich just drove me around the territory. That’s just so there’s no rumors,” Atambayev said during a meeting with Putin outside St. Petersburg.
The Kyrgyz president said rumors often spread about his own health, which he believes is unnecessary.
“But the president of Russia isn’t just walking, he’s hotrodding around, driving his guests around behind the wheel,” Atambayev said.
