Peskov denies Putin fathered a child

The well-known Swiss tabloid Blick published an article explaining the unexpected disappearance of Russian President Vladimir Putin.  According to the outlet, Putin is alive and perfectly healthy, and his disappearance is linked to Alina Kabaeva giving birth to another child. Press secretary Dmitry Peskov rushed to deny rumours about Putin’s paternity.

«Информация о рождении ребенка у Владимира Путина не соответствует действительности... (Information about Vladimir Putin fathering a child is not true...)

Планирую обратиться к людям, у которых есть деньги, с просьбой организовать конкурс на лучшую журналистскую клюкву (I plan to approach people who have money and ask them to organise a competition for the best journalistic cliché)", Peskov stated.

 

Previously, the press secretary had claimed that Putin was alive and well, yet he has still not appeared in public, and the so-called fresh photos and videos turned out not to be so “fresh” after all.
