Does these photos of Putin’s changing appearance prove Russian is using body double?

Speculation about Vladimir Putin’s use of plastic surgery and body doubles has been rampant since he first took office as acting president in 1999.

Rare sightings of Vladimir Putin in public with apparent changes in appearance, such as what appears to be a vanishing chin and shifting jaw, have led Russian watchers to question whether the Russian despot is using a body double. In a recent viral video, doubts have been raised about whether the person who appeared in footage from Putin’s recent visit to Mariupol was really him.
