This has led to discussions online about whether this “scar” is proof of the credible claims made by the independent outlet Proekt media last year that Putin had thyroid cancer.

An investigation by the outlet revealed that the Russian leader is always accompanied by a surgeon specializing in thyroid cancer, and the scar is visible in the footage and pictures posted by the Kremlin from the Easter service.

However, it is not always visible.

The fact that the scar is noticeable and that the Russian leader is always accompanied by a surgeon specializing in thyroid cancer has added fuel to the speculations about his health.

However, it is important to note that there is no concrete evidence that Putin has undergone surgery for the removal of the thyroid gland.

Vladimir Putin's 'scar' was initially noticed at a press conference on 17 December, 2020

The Kremlin has also denied that Putin is experiencing any health problems.

Thyroid cancer is a type of cancer that affects the thyroid gland, and symptoms include the appearance of a thick nodule in the thyroid area, hoarseness of voice, difficulty swallowing, pain in the neck and throat, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, a dry cough, and scratchy or scratchy feeling in the throat or behind the sternum.

It is important to wait for official information on Putin’s health before making any conclusions.

The speculation regarding Putin’s health underscores the importance of transparency in the health of public officials.
