Journalists analyzed the behavior of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin during his speech about the Oreshnik strike on Dnipro. They discovered one oddity, reports Bild.

On the evening of November 21, Vladimir Putin delivered a video address, stating that the city of Dnipro was struck by the latest medium-range missile Oreshnik. His speech lasted 7 minutes and 45 seconds.

It was noted that during the entire address, Putin did not move his hands or fingers even once; they appeared to be glued to the table.

Interestingly, in previous addresses, Putin frequently gestured with his hands.

"Perhaps this time it was a video edit, with his immobilized hands 'painted' onto his body. This could have been done due to Putin's illness or to hide his anxiety," the publication suggests.

However, on Friday, November 22, during a meeting with the Ministry of Defense leadership, Putin was seen flipping through pages of his speech and occasionally gesturing.

Putin's statements about Oreshnik

On the morning of November 21, Russian forces struck Dnipro with missiles, injuring two people. A business and a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities were also damaged. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that, among other things, the occupiers launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Dnipro.

Later that evening, on November 21, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin stated that Russia had struck Ukraine with the Oreshnik ballistic missile. According to him, the attack on Dnipro was allegedly a test of the new weapon.

Putin continued to discuss the new missile for two consecutive days. On November 22, he made another statement about Oreshnik, once again emphasizing the missile's novelty and stressing that Russia supposedly has a stockpile of such missiles.
