New video footage from an Orthodox Easter service in Moscow on Sunday was released, sparking questions from the public regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s health.
In the video, the Russian president who appeared next to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin in Christ the Savior Cathedral, was seen constantly biting and moving his lips.
Even before the video was released, several questions have already been raised regarding Putin’s health, including a video footage of him meeting with his defense minister, Sergei Shoigu where the Russian president appeared to look bloated as he’s holding onto the table while his right foot and leg constantly moving throughout the meeting.
Putin is hailing Russia's "liberation" of Mariupol after his forces completely destroyed during a two-month siege.

Another video has also surfaced prompting the public to suspect that Putin has Parkinson disease. However, the Russian president denied having it.
Meanwhile, others also suggested that the pictures of Putin from the Ortodox Easter service were faked.
However, Getty Images and AP News confirmed that the president attended the service and they took pictures of him at the event.
