VLADIMIR Putin appeared to retch and splutter through a televised meeting today - sparking fresh fears for his health after claims he's being treated for cancer.
The Russian president's face looked bloated as he gripped the table in front of him during talks with Sergey Chemezov, head of state-owned defence giant Rostec.
Putin, 69, sat opposite Chemezov - an ally since their KGB days in the 1980s - amid rumours he is being treated for cancer.
He seemed to retch several times and struggle to speak throughout the clip released by Russian state TV.
It is the latest appearance by Putin to spark speculation about his health since the start of the war in Ukraine.
Kremlin insiders have claimed that he may have cancer, which could explain his recent bloated appearance and erratic behaviour.
Yesterday, it was reported that Putin had emergency surgery to drain fluid from his abdomen.

I hope he does not decide to go out with a bang.
You know what I mean.
I watched the clip. There was no retch by any definition I have ever seen, but he does not look like a well cat. I would put him down if he were mine.
The world could not have picked a better time to implode. Its leadership is ridiculous.
Ridiculous. I didn’t see any retching or anything weird. But I don’t understand russian, so can’t comment on the conversation.
Maybe he’ll drop dead tomorrow, but that ain’t it.
Rumors, at least there’s that.
Fake news.
Awww. AWWWWWWWW.
Schadenfreude.
He seems to be far more alert than Biden does. Then again, that doesn’t say much at all.
He doesn’t look good. But more like he ate a bad bowl of borsch than anything severe. I feel all the medical rumors are false hope.
He’s just an old man. We tend to do this too often with our enemies. Hillary was meant to be a death’s door six years ago, yet she still haunts the planet.
As the decades accumulate so to do the bad days.
Seriously? You guys gotta start doing better than posting this Brit clap trap. If you are a Trump voter, the Brits are neither friend or ally.
Looks like he is having trouble swallowing.
Its from the ‘Sun UK’.
Chances are that it was on the same page as a story about Hilary meeting with extraterrestrials!
I watched the clip. There was no retch by any definition I have ever seen,
I agree. But what's wrong with his right arm? In older videos, the guy is right handed.
What is with these headlines that start with the word “moment”? Is that supposed to be some sort of creative writing gimmick? I don’t like it.
British hyperbole, a feature of their breathless tabloids.
Agree.
Chemo..unless he has brain cancer..might make you a little groggy.
Doesn’t make you biden stupid .
“what’s wrong with his right arm?”
I’m guessing that he’s started getting tremors and so he is gripping tabletops or the arms of chairs to steady his hand and hide them.
Hopefully he will have a heart attack or stroke before he can do that.
