Dude is looking super chubby, you think maybe the stress of losing a war is giving him the munchies? Let's hope for a heart attack.

probably from corticosteroids, like prednisone, it causes moonface. early in the war, people speculated he was on some form of steroids to manage a systemic issue.

I know jack about medicine, but that face looks like a health issue or prescription side effects, not from too many pork rinds.

prednisone is known to cause that kind of chubby face, but putin cant show weakness so his health remains a mystery

They are saying Putin’s helicopter was flying back from Kursk while the suprise drone attack happened. So it was “caught up in it”.

It wasn’t fighting the drones, it probably wasn’t the target. It was just there while it happened.

The presidential helicopter won't have any anti-air capabilities, and their defence wouldn't risk firing AA missiles with the VIP still in the sky, so the most they could do is shake their fists impotently at the nearby drones. If they didn't shoot down the drones still near their borders using another helicopter, the safest way is just let them be, drones will only target ground objects anyway.
