A shocking claim has been made about Russian President Vladimir Putin. Allegedly, Putin may soon disappear for a while. The reason is that she will have a cancer-related surgery. While incapacitated, he nominated Nikolai Patrushev, the security secretary of the secret security council, to assume control of Russia. Patrushev is a former KGB counterintelligence officer.
The 70-year-old Patrushev is a mysterious figure. He is seen as one of the key strategists of the Ukraine war and the man who convinced Putin that Kiev was overrun with neo-Nazis.
It has been suggested that the surgery is planned for the second half of April. But allegedly, 69-year-old Putin has already postponed the surgery. It seems unlikely that it would happen before Hitler presided over the Victory Day May 9 on Red Square, commemorating his defeat.
The Kremlin has always vehemently denied that Putin has medical problems, and has stated that he was in good health in recent years, even when Putin mysteriously disappeared.
“THE WORK WILL BE UNABLE”
The person, who is stated to be a former military figure from the Kremlin, spoke as follows:
“Putin discussed that he will undergo medical procedures. Doctors insist that he should have surgery, but the date has not been set. After the operation, he will be incapacitated for a while. Exactly how long [ameliyattan sonra iş göremez hale geleceğini] I don’t know. I think it will be for a little while.”
Putin “would not have agreed to transfer his power” but was ready to install a “charg d’affaires” to control Russia and the war effort.
“So, while Putin recovers after surgery… probably two or three days… only Patrushev takes real control of the country.”
Such a move would be surprising. Because under the constitution, power should pass only to the 56-year-old prime minister, Mikhail Mishustin, a low-profile technocrat with no known military or secret service ties.
Patrushev, preferred by Putin for this election, is considered to be the “worst option”.
