Zelensky questions if Putin is still alive during video conference
Volodymyr Zelensky has casted doubt whether Vladimir Putin is alive amid speculation about his health.

He commented on the topic of peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, and questioned whether the Russian dictator had died.
Zelensky said: ‘Right now I don’t understand who to talk to. I am not sure whether the president of Russia is still alive.
‘ Or who makes the decision there. I do not have such information.’
There is no verifiable evidence that Putin is seriously ill, and still less so that he has died.
