As per reports, Vladimir Putin experienced a number of significant health scares that led medical professionals to “panic.”
According to the General SVR Telegram channel, the Russian president experienced “extreme pain” in his head, clouded vision, and a “numb tongue.”
Additionally, it is said that he had a “partial loss of sensation in his right arm and leg” that necessitated immediate medical care.
First aid was administered, and Putin was told to take medicine and take it easy for a few days by a “committee of doctors.”
But rather than following this advice, the Russian premier refused to rest, choosing instead to give gloomy reports from the war in Ukraine.
His condition improved, easing concern among his large team of medics, said the post.
It stated: ‘The president’s relatives were more worried.’
For them ‘such a sharp deterioration in Vladimir Putin’s health caused a nervous reaction, more like panic’.
The channel, which claims inside knowledge from the Kremlin, has repeatedly said Putin is terminally ill with cancer, and his conditions and medication impacts his decision-making.
‘The temporary sharp deterioration in the president’s health has already made those closest to him tense,’ said General SVR.
‘The sudden death of Putin will put them all in front of the unknown, or rather, on the brink of survival.’
It stated that ‘none of them even had a rough plan of action in this case’.
Rumours have spiralled about Putin’s health fuelled by his habit of gripping hard onto desks and making strange twitching movements with his feet.
The Kremlin and his ministers insist he is in perfect health.
