Putin's bodyguards carry a 'poop suitcase' to collect his waste on foreign trips to keep information about his health secret.

The claim that Vladimir Putin’s bodyguards carry a 'poop suitcase' on foreign trips is supported by multiple sources. These sources suggest the practice is aimed at preventing leaks of his health information. While the evidence from news articles is consistent, it is somewhat speculative, and the credibility of these sources is medium-tier. Thus, there is some basis to consider the claims plausible, although they cannot be confirmed with high certainty due to lack of authoritative sources. Overall, these claims remain speculative.
