Florida senator Marco Rubio, who is vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, was among those to question Putin’s mental health.

“I wish I could share more, but for now I can say it’s pretty obvious to many that something is off with Putin,” he tweeted.

“He has always been a killer, but his problem now is different and significant. It would be a mistake to assume this Putin would react the same way he would have five years ago.”

Rubio added that the Russian president appeared to have: “some neuro/psychological issues”.

He added: “But most telling is this is a man who has long prided himself on emotional control. His recent flashes of anger is very uncharacteristic and show an erosion in impulse control.”
