Zelensky asks if Putin is even still alive, and the Kremlin snaps back without a real answer [1]

I'm not sure whether it's wishful thinking or if Ukraine's President Zelensky is on to something, but he wondered out loud whether or not Vladimir Putin was still alive.
"I don't quite understand who to speak with and about what. I'm not sure the president of Russia, who sometimes appears against a green screen, is the right one. I don't quite understand if he is alive, if he is making the decisions, or who is making the decisions there," he said in front of an audience at Davos, according to Ukrainska Pravda, via Daily Beast.
"When we say "peace talks", I don't quite understand with whom [we should be negotiating]," he continued, via Yahoo!.
The Kremlin was quick to respond, but curiously, did not mention Putin's whereabouts or the state of his health, saying, "It is clear that both Russia and Putin are a big problem for Ukraine and for Zelenskyy. And it is clear that purely psychologically, Mr Zelenskyy would prefer that neither Russia nor Putin existed," according to Yahoo!.
