The eyes and ears of the world have been on the news coming from Ukraine since February 24th. While the war in the country continues at full speed, the expected statement came from Russia. The Press and Information Department of the Presidency of the Russian Federation made a statement on the allegations about Putin’s health condition.
The war that started with the order of Russian President Vladimir Putin continues at full speed.
Russia, which has been targeting Kiev since the first days of the war but failed to fall the city despite weeks of siege, turned its target to the east.
While the war entered a new phase with the withdrawal of the Russians from Kherson, who had been in a defensive position here for a while, Russia is trying to compensate for its losses in the field by launching missile and air strikes on Ukraine.
There is another issue that is talked about at least as much as the war; Putin’s health condition.
Since the first day of the war, there have been dozens of claims about Putin’s health.
The latest claim about the Russian leader was that he fell down the stairs. According to the claim based on sources inside the Kremlin, a bruise of the coccyx and soft tissues was diagnosed after the examination.
According to the same allegation, the Russian leader underwent a medical examination to determine whether this condition was caused by a health problem.
RESPONSE TO QUESTION ON PUTIN’S HEALTH CONDITION
After weeks, Russia broke its silence on the allegation and Putin’s state of health.
The Press and Information Department of the President of the Russian Federation responded to a question about the incident as follows;
“Regarding your request, we can say that it is completely untrue.
RUSSIAN AGENT REVEALED PUTIN’S REMAINING LIFE EXPECTANCY
In recent weeks, an agent from the Federal Security Service (FSB), Russia’s state internal security agency, revealed the life expectancy of Putin.
According to the claim made by the British Mirror newspaper, his doctors gave the Russian leader a maximum of 3 years to live.
‘HE IS LOSING HIS EYESIGHT’
While the name of the source is being kept confidential for security reasons, Putin’s eyesight has been severely impaired due to his illness.
The Russian agent told the newspaper;
‘When he appears on TV, he needs pieces of paper with everything written in big letters to read what he is going to say. The letters are so big that there are only a few sentences on each page. The condition of his eyes is seriously deteriorating.’
HERE IS THE DOCTOR THAT PUTIN NEVER LEAVES HIS SIDE
In the documents previously published by Proekt, a Russia-based research platform, it was claimed that Putin was accompanied by at least 5 different doctors during his visits.
In the same documents, it was stated that ‘Yevgeny Selivanov, an otorhinolaryngologist specializing in Thyroid Cancer, never leaves the Russian leader’s side’.
There was a denial from the Kremlin regarding the documents published by the research company banned from publishing in Russia.
Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitri Peskov described the documents as ‘fictitious’ and underlined that the allegations contained therein do not reflect the truth.
WHO COULD REPLACE PUTIN?
According to the British press, Mikhail Mishustin is the strongest candidate to replace Putin in the event of his death.
Serving as Russia’s prime minister, Mishustin is second only to Putin in the political hierarchy.
Sergei Sobyanin, the current mayor of Moscow, the capital of the country, is also among the candidates.
Nikolai Patrushev, who has served as the head of Russia’s security council since 2008, is also frequently mentioned.
