In January per The Daily MailKyrylo Budanov, of Main Intelligence Directorate of Ministry of Defense UkrainePutin was claimed to be “terminally ill with cancer and will die very soon,” With a crony to replace him after he dies.
Budanov provided no evidence, and any claim made by an intelligence officer on either side of war should not be taken as gospel. But this is far from the first recent report about the state of Putin’s health.
In November, The Sun reported, based on leaked emails from a Russian intelligence source, that the 70-year-old Putin is suffering from both prostate cancer and Parkinson’s Disease.
“I can confirm he has been diagnosed with early-stage Parkinson’s disease, but it’s already progressing,” According to the Sun, the insider claimed. “This fact will be denied in every possible way and hidden. Putin is regularly stuffed with all kinds of heavy steroids and innovative painkilling injections to stop the spread of pancreatic cancer he was recently diagnosed with.”
In addition, per The Sun, ex-MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove has stated that the Russian leader “faces being sent to a sanatorium, and will be gone by 2023.” Moreover, the Russian president has been recently seen with “suspected track marks” He received IV treatments for his hands.
The Sun quoted Valery Solovey, a political analyst, as saying that Putin is suffering from a “death spiral”. “schizoaffective disorder,” in addition to cancer and Parkinson’s.
Putin is not ill, according to the Kremlin.
A subsequent story by the New York Post reiterated the part about Putin’s hands, and also noted that the Russian president has made a habit lately of grabbing hold of tables. The New York Post also claimed that videos have been released by the Kremlin lately. “numerous watermarks obscuring the view of the hand,” There is also speculation that Putin may be hiding his hands in fear of being poisoned.
In the meantime, December the Ukrainian newspaper Ukrainska Pravda reportedAccording to Danish intelligence, Russia’s president is “experiencing severe chronic pain after several falls and accidents,” Although Putin is not suffering from a terminal disease, the Danish Military Intelligence Service believes that Putin will continue to be in power until 2024 Russian presidential elections.
The report also noted that this speculation has been around about Putin before. This includes when he was believed to have fallen from a horse back in 2000.
Ukrainian Pravda in the last year published a report Claim that Putin “takes baths of reindeer horn extract,” but because the story was published on April 1 it may have been an April Fool’s joke.
Budanov said that he hoped Putin’s health will lead to the end of the war in Ukraine. However, if Putin has a poor health prognosis it could mean he decides he has nothing left to lose.
The Daily Star quoted According to a Kremlin Insider, Putin is in pain “weakness, dizziness, and lack of appetite,” he is now depressed as the war drags along.
“The war exists in the head of one terminally ill man with a disturbed psyche who is trying to take as many people as possible with him to a mythical ‘paradise’.”
Of course, it’s far from a rare occurrence for the opponents of a world leader to allege that that leader is in poor health.
That said, the most likely scenario is that there will be no transparency about the state of Putin’s health at any time in the foreseeable future.
