There is a clip being shown on many of our news sources of Putin making a statement from some formally decorated/furnished place. I'm not sure what he's supposed to be saying as the clip is just a seconds-long "file footage" looking thing.
The thing is, he looks a lot less puffy and maybe a little younger.
Could be camera angle, lighting, or an actual double.

Putin looks way older and different than that footage.

There was mixup in scheduling the doubles and two of them appeared in different places at the same time. It happened Thursday or Friday of last week.
