NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Vladimir Putin has early stage Parkinson’s disease and pancreatic cancer, leaked spy documents claim.
The Russian president has been plagued by rumours of his supposed ill-health for months, with clips from public appearances variously seeming to show him trembling, twitching, or looking unsteady.
Other unverified reports have suggested the 70-year-old is followed around by a team of doctors who carefully monitor him around the clock. All have been rubbished by the Kremlin.
Now, emails from a Russian intelligence source allegedly ‘confirm he has been diagnosed with early stage Parkinson’s disease, but it’s already progressing’.
