Where's Putin Been?

Putin makes first public appearance in weeks of lockdown in Russia

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53026388

Russian President Vladimir Putin used the Russia Day holiday to promote a controversial reform of the constitution which could keep him in office until 2036.

Mr Putin, 67, has dominated Russia for the past 20 years whether as president or prime minister.

Moscow lifted lockdown curbs this week despite a huge number of infections.

About 510,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus in Russia, the third-highest number of cases in the world after the US and Brazil. Russia has recorded 6,705 deaths amid accusations of under-reporting by the authorities.

Putin's last public appearance was on 9 May when he attended a Victory Day ceremony - the traditional parade has been postponed until 24 June. Since then he had been working from his country residence outside Moscow.
My guess is that he's been ill - it's not like him to keep a low profile when other countries are having problems .....

I just saw him up at the golf club.

He was on the Putin Green.
