Did Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin (69) need “urgent medical help”?
This is reported by the British “Sun”, citing the Telegram channel “General SVR”, which is allegedly operated by a Kremlin insider.
According to this, Putin is said to have been granted “urgent medical assistance” after he was said to have been afflicted by a “serious illness”.
He is said to have been ordered by his doctors to stop making “lengthy” public appearances.
The author of General SVR also claims that this is why Putin’s annual “question and answer” session with “journalists” – in reality a purely TV propaganda show – was canceled this year.
The Kremlin tyrant is said to have been suffering from “severe nausea, weakness and dizziness” as he got up from his desk after a 90-minute virtual session.
Despite this, Putin spoke to young Russian entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists on Thursday.
How sick is Putin really?
In the past few weeks and months there had been repeated speculation about the health of the Kremlin despot.
A possible cancer was repeatedly discussed. Evidence included his physical appearance (bloated face, allegedly a result of his medication) or his rigid public appearances – in April, for example, he held on to the table throughout his conversation with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

The new reports cannot be conclusively proven. One thing is certain: for Putin, his health has been a top priority for the past few years. Currently, a team of doctors is always at his side.
Nevertheless, Putin wants to keep the appearance of the invincible ruler to the outside world: suspicious television clips are censored, public performances that he attends are shortened – just to cover up his problems.
