Vladimir Putin suffers from Parkinson’s disease and pancreatic cancer, according to leaked Kremlin spy documents.
Rumors about the 70-year-old’s poor fitness have been circulating for years as he is believed to be being followed by a team of doctors who are tracking him down.
Yesterday, it was reported that Putin’s inner circle feared that his “thinness and persistent cough” would be noticed and that Russian elites would notice it as a “sign of the leader’s deteriorating health,” according to Telegram’s General SVR channel.
The channel has long claimed he suffers from cancer despite the Kremlin’s insistence that he is in good health.
He has lost 18 kilos in months, according to the chain.
Now, a Russian intelligence source close to the Kremlin reportedly showed that Putin was diagnosed with early-stage Parkinson’s disease and pancreatic cancer, according to emails notified via The Sun Online.
The reported emails imply that there are rumors that he now has prostate cancer.
“I can verify that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at an early stage, but he is already progressing,” the Russian security official said.
“This fact will be denied in any and all imaginable and hidden ways.
“Putin is full of all kinds of strong steroids and state-of-the-art painkiller injections to prevent the spread of pancreatic cancer he was recently diagnosed.
“Not only does it cause a lot of pain, Putin has a state of facial swelling and other side effects, which adds memory lapses.
“In his inner circle, there are rumors that in addition to pancreatic cancer, which is spreading, Putin also has prostate cancer. “
Kremlin officials have consistently denied that Putin suffers from any illness and is in good health.
The Telegram channel General SVR has claimed that Putin suffers from abdominal cancer, Parkinson’s disease and schizoaffective disorder.
His claims cannot be verified, but he is among the first to pre-sign the form of Putin’s recent mobilization strategy.
It was reportedly written through an exiled Kremlin lieutenant general, known under the pseudonym Viktor Mikhailovich.
The channel claimed that the Kremlin seeks to ban it, but has so far failed.
