Alaska: Reports have surfaced that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s bodyguards carried a special suitcase to collect his faecal waste during his summit with former US President Donald Trump in Alaska on Friday.
According to The Express, the unusual practice is meant to prevent foreign intelligence agencies from gathering information about Putin’s health. The report, citing investigative journalists Regis Gente and Mikhail Rubin, claimed that members of the Federal Protection Service (FPS) — responsible for Putin’s security, store his waste in sealed bags and transport it back to Russia in designated briefcases.
The report further stated that this security measure has been in place for years. It was also reportedly used during Putin’s 2017 visit to France and his trip to Vienna, where he is said to have relied on a portable toilet. Journalist Farida Rustamova also quoted a source as saying the practice has been followed since Putin first assumed leadership in 1999.
Speculation over the Russian President’s health has been ongoing for years. During a press conference in Astana, Kazakhstan, in November 2023, Putin was seen moving his legs repeatedly, sparking concerns about possible medical conditions. Dr. Bob Berookhim, quoted by The Express US, suggested the movements could be linked to Parkinson’s disease.
Similar observations were made during Putin’s meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in 2023, when he was seen twitching. Other unverified claims cited in the report suggested that Putin may have suffered a cardiac arrest in the past and required urgent treatment at his residence.
The fresh claims about the so-called “poop suitcase” emerged alongside the Alaska meeting, where Putin and Trump reportedly discussed peace talks over the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
