According to Ukraine's intelligence service, Russian President Vladimir Putin is seriously ill.
Moscow – Rumors have been circulating for months that Russian President Vladimir Putin is suffering from various diseases.
There is talk of leukemia, Parkinson's disease and cancer.
The Ukrainian secret service is now apparently also assuming the latter illness.
The head of the military intelligence service gave details in an interview with the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda.
In it, Kyrylo Budanov commented, among other things, on an “assault” on Putin.
Regarding Putin's health, Budanov said: "Yes, we can fully confirm the information that Putin has cancer.
He suffers from several serious illnesses, one of which is cancer.” However, according to the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, the Russian president still has a few years to live.
The former head of the British secret service MI6 also recently stated that Putin only had to live until 2023.
"Whether we like it or not, that's the truth," Budanov stressed in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda.
Recently, a former CIA analyst said that Putin was "very ill."
