Putin’s feet twitch uncontrollably AGAIN as he holds chair with claw-like grip during bizarre speech to teenagers

VLADIMIR Putin clutched his chair with a claw-like grip while his feet constantly twitched as he delivered a bizarre speech to teenagers. The Russian tyrant – who has ignored rumours about health for months – appeared flush after flying more than eight hours from Moscow to Kamchatka.

He told them: “You have to live for something to die for.” Since ordering his troops into Ukraine in February, an estimated 75,000 of his people have died or been maimed as the war rages on – though numbers have not officially been confirmed. Putin, 69, told the audience in the regional capital Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: “There is an expression, and whoever told me about it, I promised I would reproduce it out loud in public sometime.

A giggling Putin cracked an odd joke about having a “rubber bum” and seemed unable to stop his legs from twitching in a surreal appearance with Russian schoolchildren. The pupils – who had been ordered to quarantine for 14 days beforehand by paranoid Vlad – appeared baffled by the Russian president’s speech as he addressed them in the exclave territory of Kaliningrad.
