Vladimir Putin 'gravely' ill, has less than two years to live: Reports
For months, rumours about Putin's health have swirled, especially after he was photographed holding a table during a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Earlier this month, at a speech in Moscow, the 69-year-old President's legs looked to buckle, fueling speculation about the Russian leader's health.
Vladimir Putin has fewer than two years to live due to various "grave" ailments, according to multiple media reports. According to Major General Kyrylo Budanov, the assertions were made by Kiev agents who penetrated the Kremlin using "human intelligence," as reported by the Daily Mail. "Putin doesn't have a long life ahead of him," Budanov said, according to USA Today.
For months, rumours about Putin's health have swirled, especially after he was photographed holding a table during a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Earlier this month, at a speech in Moscow, the 69-year-old President's legs looked to buckle, fueling speculation about the Russian leader's health.
Putin was attending an awards event at the Kremlin when he appeared shaky on his feet, according to the Daily Mail. As Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov won a medal, he rocked back and forth. It comes only days after a Kremlin insider said Putin had been warned by doctors not to make any "lengthy" public appearances after becoming unwell while meeting with his military leaders.

Following a recent video call with advisors and military officials, Russian President Vladimir Putin felt "a acute nausea, weakness, and dizziness" when getting up from his desk, according to Telegram channel General SVR.
Putin's hunched posture and visibly fat face and neck fueled suspicions about the leader's health, which has been ailing since the invasion of Ukraine. In April, the Kremlin leader was believed to require a "urgent" cancer procedure. According to a self-proclaimed Kremlin "insider," Putin also has Parkinson's disease and "schizophrenic symptoms."
Putin is notoriously reserved, and no evidence of his ill health has been made public. Last month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was compelled to deny that Vladimir Putin is critically ill, following allegations that he is receiving treatment for blood cancer.
