The recently appointed Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, said on Ukrainian television that Putin's&nbsp;height and ears have changed in recent appearances.

He made an appearance on the "Groshi" channel and said: "Let's assume the image of the ears is different. Additionally, each person's ear picture is distinctive, just like a fingerprint. It can't be done again."

According to the Ukrainian news site TSN, Budanov also said that he thought the Russian president was gravely ill and that he used body doubles to avoid public appearances.

Many critics have discussed the 69-year-old warmonger's health, and a variety of assertions have been made about it.

The alleged body doubles, according to Budanov, "had different habits, mannerisms, gaits, and sometimes, if you looked closely, different heights."

Putin may have utilised a double for his entrance at a summit in Tehran last month, according to a previous accusation made by the intelligence chief.

Putin made the trip, which is just his second in five months, as one of the few overseas trips he is currently permitted to undertake as a result of his ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

In recent days, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared his desire to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping personally in the hope&nbsp;that China will use its clout with Russia to stop the conflict.

All diplomatic channels have so far been fruitless, and China has declined to denounce the incursion.

In the most recent wave of penalties related to the invasion of Ukraine, the United States blacklisted the alleged lover of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the businessman who owns the second-largest estate in London on Tuesday. Several other oligarchs thought to be connected to Putin, four Russian administrators of the occupied regions in Ukraine, and about two dozen high-tech institutions and businesses, including significant state-backed electronics firms, were also subject to US business prohibitions.

The Witanhurst estate, the second-largest estate in London after Buckingham Palace, is owned by billionaire Andrey Grigoryevich Guryev, a close friend of Vladimir Putin. The founder and former vice chairman of PhosAgro, a significant provider to the world's fertiliser markets, is Guryev. Financial penalties were imposed on him and his son, prohibiting them from doing business with US entities (including banks with U.S. branches) and freezing their assets under US jurisdiction.

Alina Kabaeva, a former Olympic gymnast who is frequently referred to as Putin's girlfriend, and Natalya Popova, the wife of Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the sizable sovereign wealth fund run by the Russian government, were both sanctioned by the Treasury. According to the Treasury, Popova works for Innopraktika, a technological company that is owned by one of Putin's daughters.

According to a new Russian naval strategy that President Vladimir Putin signed on Sunday, the American desire to rule the oceans and NATO's growth pose the greatest threats to Russia. According to the 55-page report, NATO's military buildup near Russia's borders and Washington's "strategic objective to dominate the world's oceans" pose threat to national security and prosperity.

"Russia's independent internal and external policy faces counter-measures from the United States and its allies, who aim to preserve their dominance in the world, including its oceans," said the doctrine, signed on Russian Navy Day, as reported by AFP.

Moscow is using Ukraine’s membership of the Western military alliance — the Soviet Union's adversary during the Cold War — as a justification for its special military operations launched on February 24. 
 
According to the doctrine, Moscow will work to increase its competitive edge in the exploration of the Arctic and its natural resources and to uphold "strategic stability," which will increase the effectiveness of its Pacific and northern fleets.

It also referenced Russia's intention to create the Northeast Passage, a "safe and competitive" sea route that runs along the Arctic coastline and connects Europe and Asia all year long. The doctrine continued, "Today's Russia cannot exist without a strong fleet... and will defend its interests in the world's oceans firmly and with resolution."
