Putin’s 'Poop Suitcase': Why Russia’s President Takes His Waste on Foreign Trips

Moscow/Washington (The Uttam Hindu): Speculations about Russian President Vladimir Putin's ill health have once again intensified, especially after his recent meeting with former US President Donald Trump in Alaska. During this meeting, once again a special 'suitcase' carrying Putin became a topic of discussion, which is called the 'poop suitcase'. According to reports, this suitcase is a very important and secret part of Putin's security, whose purpose is to keep the secrets related to his health hidden from the world.

According to foreign media reports and investigative journalists, whenever President Putin is on a foreign trip, a special squad of his bodyguards is responsible for collecting his human waste. This waste is kept in a special sealed suitcase and taken back to Russia. The purpose behind this is to ensure that no foreign intelligence agency can obtain information about his health, DNA or any possible disease by examining his stool samples.

Publications like Paris Match and Express US have revealed this protocol citing investigative journalists Regis Gent and Mikhail Rubin. Reports say that the Russian President's Federal Protection Service (FPS) takes this job very seriously. This is nothing new; it was also revealed when Putin visited France in 2017. It is said that this protocol has been in place for Putin since he took power in 1999. He even used a portable toilet during his visit to Vienna.

There have been reports for a long time that 72-year-old Vladimir Putin is suffering from serious health problems. In the past years, he has been seen shaking his legs or trembling uncomfortably in many public events. Some reports have claimed that he has a neurological disease like Parkinson's, while some have even said that he has cancer or is vomiting blood. However, the Kremlin (Russian President's Office) has always rejected these claims and described Putin as completely healthy. Despite this, extraordinary precautions like 'poop suitcase' further fuel the ongoing speculation about his health.
