<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked Western leaders who made fun of him this week for oftentimes going shirtless while outdoors, saying that if they took their shirts off it would be a &#8220;disgusting&#8221; sight.</p>
<p>The Western leaders who mocked Putin did so while attending the G7 summit in Germany this week where the topic of Putin&#8217;s war in Ukraine was a top issue.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-72 Component-p-0-2-63">&#8220;As they sat down for talks, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson jested that G7 leaders could take their clothes off to &#8216;show that we’re tougher than Putin&#8217; amid Russia-West tensions over Moscow’s military action in Ukraine,&#8221; the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/g-7-summit-russia-ukraine-putin-boris-johnson-justin-trudeau-6f900bb1c186cb69974b7d04f2e76c83">reported</a>. &#8220;Canadian premier Justin Trudeau joked that Western leaders could try to match Putin’s naked torso pictures with a &#8216;bare-chested horseback riding display,&#8217; one of his widely publicized athletic adventures.&#8221;</p>
<p>Putin responded to the remarks on Thursday while visiting Turkmenistan, saying, “I don’t know how they wanted to get undressed, above or below the waist, but I think it would be a disgusting sight in any case.”</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-72 Component-p-0-2-63">Putin added that it was “necessary to stop abusing alcohol and other bad habits, do physical exercise and take part in sports” in order to look good.</p>
<p>The back-and-forth remarks between the world leaders come as Putin&#8217;s war in Ukraine has gone on for over 120 days and has resulted in staggering losses for both sides.</p>
<p>Russian leaders thought that they would cut through Ukraine like a hot knife through butter but have found the reality on the ground to be much tougher sledding as they&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GeneralStaff.ua/posts/pfbid02dHn1rS8FutsgvRSBaa14o9MrNkKtRyjXXyo1F4SL32dLMuPqmsokMSVU3cJuPC35l">lost</a> 35,000+ troops, 1,500+ tanks, 3,700+ armored vehicles, and approximately a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/04/us/politics/russia-generals-killed-ukraine.html">dozen</a> generals, according to Ukranian figures.</p>
<p>Then there are concerns about Putin&#8217;s overall health with reports indicating that he has cancer. Russian officials also <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/putin-poop-case-moscow-health-problems">reportedly</a> collect Putin&#8217;s excrement when he travels so that spies cannot collect samples and bring it back to intelligence agencies that could run tests on it to determine health issues.</p>
<p>A new classified U.S. intelligence assessment &#8221; says Putin seems to have re-emerged after undergoing treatment in April for advanced cancer,&#8221; Newsweek reported. &#8220;The assessments also confirm that there was an assassination attempt on Putin&#8217;s life in March.&#8221;</p>
<p>Newsweek got the information from high-ranking intelligence sources spread across three separate U.S. intelligence agencies. The sources said that they were deeply concerned that Putin was acting out of a state of paranoia about holding on to his power.</p>
