Russian President Vladimir Putin suddenly needed medical help on thursday amid rumors he was suffering from a serious illness. According to media reports, Putin's health suddenly deteriorated when he was discussing the ukraine war and the international situation in a meeting with military chiefs. After this, the doctors gave him help and sent him for immediate rest. The Russian president has been advised to avoid long meetings and long public events.
The doctors have asked him to take adequate rest along with work. In media reports, Putin has been claimed to have serious diseases like cancer and Parkinson's. Such claims have been made for the past several years. However, Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has denied these claims.
Speculations about Putin's ill health
Recently, in a video, Putin was seen coughing during the victory Day parade and he covered his feet with a blanket. In a video that surfaced in April, Putin's hand was seen trembling rapidly and he was holding the chair tightly. Sometimes it is said that he has cancer and sometimes he is claimed to have Parkinson's disease.
Billionaire claimed
A new claim suggests that a Russian businessman who was close to the Kremlin has admitted to his Western colleague that Putin is seriously ill with 'blood cancer'. The undercover Russian billionaire reportedly criticized the Russian president's attack on ukraine in a recording in mid-March.
Putin ready to temporarily hand over power to Nikolai Petrushev
Earlier there was talk that Putin was forced to give up control of the war with ukraine for cancer surgery. It is believed that Putin will nominate former FSB chief Nikolai Petrushev to temporarily control the invasion. Patrushev, 70, the current secretary of Russia's Security Council, is still seen as a key architect of war strategy. A report in the Daily Mail said that Patrushev was the man who convinced Putin that Kyiv was full of neo-Nazis.
