Putin’s body language betrays his ‘high levels of anger’ and he is in ‘action mode’, expert says

Putin’s body language betrays his ‘high levels of anger’ and shows he is in ‘action mode’, an expert has claimed. 

The Russian president today branded Prigozhin’s Wagner group as ‘traitors’ as he addressed his people on TV – after the Wagner rebels vowed to punish military leaders and headed for Moscow. 

Body language expert Adrianne Carter warned Putin has never looked more dangerous, telling the Daily Star: ‘Putin shows high levels of anger and dislike.’ 

She added: ‘He’s in action mode so beware!’ 

During this morning’s unscheduled TV address to Russian civilians, the president threatened that ‘everyone who took part’ in the Wagner rebellion would be punished.

Putin today told the Russian people: ‘This is a criminal adventuristic campaign. It’s equivalent to armed mutiny.

‘We will defend ourselves and repel this inimical move. We are fighting for the life and security of our citizens and our territory.

‘It’s a question of Russiaa’s millennial history. Everything has to be done to put this danger to rest.

‘It’s an attempt to subvert us from inside. This is treason in the face of those who are fighting on the front.

‘This is a stab in the back of our troops and the people of Russia.’

Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin said in a video released in the early hours of Saturday that his forces have reached the strategically important city of Rostov-on-Don

A grave-looking Putin told Russians: ‘What we are facing now is treason.’

The 70-year-old dictator warned: ‘Everyone who deliberately embarked on the path of betrayal will suffer inevitable punishment.

‘The armed forces received the appropriate orders.’

He continued: ‘As President of Russia and the Marshall in chief, as a citizen of Russia I am doing everything to repel this attack and to ensure the freedom and security of our citizens. Those who are mutiny have betrayed Russia.’

Even as Putin spoke, 180 Russian servicemen and security forces at a border crossing in the Voronezh region refused to interfere with the actions of the Wagner PMC and laid down their arms.

Prigozhin responded on Saturday by telling the President he was ‘wrong’ to accuse him of treason.

He added: ‘No-one is going to turn themselves in at the request of the president, the FSB or anyone else.

‘Because we do not want the country to live on in corruption, deceit and bureaucracy.’
