Vladimir Putin has been mocked over his apparent poor health after the fearful and paranoid Russian dictator showcased his visibly aged face during a rare public appearance at a Moscow rally over the weekend. The 73-year-old was spotted at an unusually quiet Victory Day parade over the weekend to mark the 81st anniversary of the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. Putin's brief appearance during the event in Red Square saw many critics mock his strangely altered face on social media, with one joking that Western sanctions on Russia were now affecting the president's Botox.
