Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly been struck down by a “sharp sickness” and required “urgent medical assistance” this week.
Putin allegedly felt a “sharp sickness, weakness and dizziness”, while getting up from his desk following a 90-minute virtual session talking to military chiefs, according to the General SVR channel on messaging app Telegram, which is said to be run by someone with inside knowledge of the Kremlin.
The latest claims come after recent speculation Putin’s health has been declining, with footage showing him shaking uncontrollably – sparking Parkinson’s rumours.
