Moscow [Russia], October 24 : Kremlin on Tuesday dismissed the reports claiming President Vladimir Putin is suffering from ill health and called it "yet another canard".

Kremlin further confirmed that the President is "alright".

"Rumours about Russian President Vladimir Putin's health are yet another canard. He is alright," Russian President's Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told media on Tuesday.

This comes after reports emerged claiming that President Putin suffered a "serious health episode" on Sunday and was seen lying on the floor and rolling his eyes.

Notably, the speculations about Putin's health have been making rounds for quite some time in the past as well ranging from blood cancer to Parkinson's disease.

Meanwhile, last week, the Russian President attended the third 'Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation (BRF)' in China.

Putin attended the official meeting ceremony with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan, heads of delegations participating at the event.

Earlier, President Putin also held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the ongoing war with Hamas after the terror attack on October 7.

During his call, Putin laid out the steps being taken by Russia to prevent the further escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip.

The Russian President also expressed "his sincere condolences to the families and friends of the deceased Israelis".
