A shaky-looking Vladimir Putin praised his 'dear friend' President Xi Jinping while he gripped the arms of his chair during the Chinese leader's visit to Moscow today.
Putin appeared to be trembling and clutching his seat as he welcomed Xi to the Kremlin today for a three-day visit in a sign that the 70-year-old's health is continuing to deteriorate.

Anybody suffering from multiple forms of cancer who is trying to run a country while at war would be shaky

Amphetamines?
Very bad circulation problems?
Oh, yeah.
Tell Putin to be a man and look Xi in the eye when speaking.
The Putin averting his eyes thing is very Beta and not a good look.
