Watch: Putin appears in public after 10-day absence

Russian President Vladimir Putin resurfaced on Monday following a 10-day absence from the public eye and intense speculation over his health. The 62-year-old looked well at a meeting with Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atanbayev in St. Petersburg's ornate Konstantin Palace.He was last seen in public on 5 March, when he hosted Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Putin's decision to abruptly postpone a trip to Kazakhstan planned for last week fuelled speculation that he was unwell - claims the Kremlin denied.
