Vladimir Putin’s frequent ‘fidgeting’ today has led to further speculation surrounds the state of his health.
The Russian president oversaw a series of nuclear drills which involved missiles, submarines and bombers.
According to state media, the military was practicing ‘delivering a massive nuclear strike by strategic offensive forces in response to an enemy nuclear strike’.
In a short clip broadcast on Russian news channels, Putin could be seen speaking with security chiefs and watching drills unfold.
Many noted that he struggled to keep still, shifting papers and repeatedly picking up his pen only to place it down again.
