Vladimir Putin will take a 'poo suitcase' with him to crunch meeting with Trump tomorrow

Vladimir Putin and his team are set to travel to his peace summit with Trump tomorrow with a 'poo suitcase'.

No, you didn't misread that - we are talking about human faecal matter.

Putin and Trump are set to have crunch talks over the war in Ukraine on Friday (15 August) over in Alaska.

Reports have already claimed that the US president is planning to table an offer that would be too good for Putin to refuse.

Trump has already spoken about imposing 'very severe consequences' if a deal with Russia isn't agreed, which would likely be tariff-related.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the 79-year-old said: "If the first one goes OK, we’ll have a quick second one.

"I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelenskyy and myself, if they’d like to have me there."

But the Russian leader has a very specific way of doing things, and this involves how he conducts himself on his travels.

Putin even has a specific way of walking, drilled into him from his KGB days, in order to keep one hand close to his weapon.

However, this measure that his secret service agents take to ensure his safety on foreign soil might be a step too far.

While people will be awaiting the showdown between the world leaders at 11.30am Alaskan time (8.30pm UK time) tomorrow, one of Putin's guards will be holding a bag full of his poo and urine.

It's believed that Putin is obsessed with security, another trait that likely stems from his days in the KGB, as a Russian official admitted to The Moscow Times in May: "The Kremlin takes Vladimir Putin's security very seriously. He is protected by a whole army of visible and invisible guards."

The members of Putin's security team call themselves his 'Musketeers', though The Economist reports that they are a special unit from Russia’s Federal Protective Service (FSO).

While one guard will be holding a bulletproof suitcase that could be used as a shield, the question beckons - why is someone holding all of Putin's faecal matter?

According to French outlet Paris Match, the practice was caught during a state visit to France in 2017 and a visit to Saudi Arabia in 2019.

In a report from Regis Gente, who has written two books on Russia, and Mikhail Rubin, who has covered Russia for 13 years, the suitcase is to ensure Putin's excrement is safely returned to Russian soil, stored in specialised packets.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus of all people added to the bizarre claims, saying on The Late Show in 2020 that someone who worked at a museum in Vienna said Putin had come to visit before her, bringing his own private bathroom, which she called a 'porta potty'.

So why on Earth does Putin do this?

Rumours around Putin's health have circulated for years, but the Russian leader has kept his wellbeing under wraps.

Wanting to keep his physical condition secret, he even hides his faecal matter to keep others from studying its contents.

It might not even be as ridiculous as it sounds, as in 2016 a former Soviet agent claimed Stalin was trying to spy on Chairman Mao and others by analysing their poop in a secret lab - I s**t you not.

As well as his poo suitcase, the Russian President also carries 'Cheget', his nuclear briefcase, around.

It acts as a communication device, allowing him to launch a nuclear attack at any given moment, just from the push of a button.
