Does Putin Have Cancer?

Russian President Putin is “very ill with blood cancer,” an oligarch close to the Kremlin is reported to have said, the Times of London reports.

“The unnamed oligarch was recorded discussing Putin’s health with a Western venture capitalist in mid-March in a recording obtained by New Lines, a US magazine.”

“The Russian says in the recording that Putin had surgery on his back linked to his blood cancer shortly before ordering the invasion of Ukraine. He complains that the president has gone ‘crazy.’”

In an interview with Sky News, Ukraine Major General Kyrylo Budanov also said a coup to remove Putin is already under way in Russia and the Russian leader is seriously ill with cancer.
