According to the report, Putin reportedly complained ''partial loss of sensation in his right arm and leg,'' necessitating immediate medical treatment. It went on to say that a committee of physicians administered first aid and that Putin was told to take medicine and relax for many days.

''The president's relatives were more concerned. Such a rapid decline in Vladimir Putin's health triggered an anxious reaction, bordering on panic. The president's temporary severe downturn in health has already made those closest to him uneasy," said General SVR.

In February 2023, a video of the President's peculiar foot movement aroused health concerns. Several images released on social media show Russian President Vladimir Putin twitching his feet during his meeting with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko.
