Numerous claims have been made regarding the health status of Vladimir Putin. Since Russia began invading Ukraine, numerous rumors have spread that Putin is suffering from serious illnesses, including leukemia (blood cancer) and Parkinson’s disease. For example, Ukraine’s intelligence chief, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, made one of the most notable rumors. Budanov noted that sources in the Kremlin told him that Putin will likely die within the next two years. After these allegations, Putin’s health status was very curious, and striking statements came from the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelenskiy.
“I think he has a serious ‘disease'”
Zelenskiy, who said Putin was not interested in rumors about his alleged health, suggested that his Russian counterpart may be suffering from a worse disease that poses a threat to Ukraine, the International Business Times reported.
In an interview broadcast on the Zelenskiy Telegram channel, “I don’t know what happened to Vladimir Putin. I think he has a serious illness, and it’s even more serious than the illness you’re talking about. I mean a disease of occupation and torture that they have cultivated on our land.” said.
“ALL THIS MEANS NOTHING TO THEM”
Saying that many people around the Russian President are sick, the President of Ukraine listed elements such as “extremely high ambitions, international law, human life” and said, “All this means nothing to them. “This disease poses a threat to our country,” he said.
The interview came as the war in Ukraine entered its fifth month, and deaths among Ukrainian civilians reached 4,731 as of Sunday, according to estimates by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
