‘Doctors were called to Putin who suffered coughing fit amid chaotic scenes behind TV address’
>
Doctors were called to the rescue amid behind-the-scenes chaos as he prepared to air his doomsday nuclear threats on a national broadcast, Kremlin rumors say.
The Russian tyrant is said to have suffered from coughing fits and chest pains in the run-up to his 13-hour delay TV speech, in which he ordered a “partial military mobilization” and warned that he was “not bluffing” about nuclear weapons.
The General SVR Telegram channel, believed to be run by a former Kremlin insider who had predicted the mobilization movement, said Putin’s speech had to be re-recorded several times due to his ill health.
They also claimed that three key figures have threatened to resign over the president’s dramatic escalation, including the respected Elvira Nabiullina, the head of Russia’s central bank that has propped up the economy amid Western sanctions.

The Telegram channel said: “Putin shut himself down from writing the text of the appeal and got stuck by the time the recording started.
“When the president came out and preparations for filming began, he started coughing regularly.
“Several attempts to file an appeal were frustrated by coughing.
After the fourth failed attempt to appeal, doctors were called to the president, whom Putin also complained of chest pain.
“The doctors advised to postpone the shooting and go with them for an investigation, which happened.
“There is an opinion from people in the inner circle of the president that Putin feigned a health problem in order to reschedule the shooting and reconsider his decision-making.
Putin vowed to use “all available means” to defend what he sees as Russian territory, adding: “I’m not bluffing” (photo, a Russian nuclear test)
Putin was informed of the unrest in the Kremlin by his Security Council secretary Nikolai Patrushev (pictured), General SVR said
“People close to the president know his pathological indecision and uncertainty in making decisions, especially important ones.”
In his speech, Putin announced that reservists, numbering 25 million, will be banned from entering Russia, a move that has deeply shocked many loyalist officials.
One account said: “Putin was briefed on the unrest in the elites and ‘quiet panic’ in most of the establishment” about his mobilization movement.
His top political and security officials are said to have “reacted unenthusiastically to the president’s decision.”
Putin was informed of this by his Security Council secretary, Nikolai Patrushev, General SVR said.
The Russian tyrant will now face Nabiullina privately – who would be a great loss if she quit – it was alleged.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu looked weak and ill as he announced 300,000 reservists will be called up

Two other top officials who reportedly threatened to resign were not named.
Putin said he would make a decision after personal communication.
The channel said Putin would soon impose martial law near the border with Ukraine.
“The terminally ill Putin has an overwhelming desire to take millions of people to their graves with him,” he wrote.
“Today Putin has brought war into the home of every Russian.”
Bus tickets from the country were sold out today – when the Moscow stock market plummeted.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu looked weak and ill when he announced that 300,000 reservists would be called up.
He also gave what will generally be seen as fictitious statistics on the number of Russian war dead at 5,937 – ten times less than many conservative expert estimates.
The tangible fake figure was even disputed today by uber-loyalist Russian pro-war bloggers.
It would mean that Russia had lost just 4,586 troops since late March, when the Shoigu ministry reported a death toll of 1,351.
A source dismissed the death toll alleged as “a terrible lie to the Russian people.”
Shoigu – reportedly sidelined by Putin’s major military decisions – said on Russian state television: “Our losses are 5,937 people.
“And I cannot praise our boys who do their duty strongly enough. Thanks to our medics, more than 90 percent of the injured were able to return to work…
“We have a huge mobilization resource.
“Those who have already served and have relevant experience and profession, we have nearly 25 million.
“So this partial mobilization takes 1 or 1.1 percent of the total mobilization reserve…
‘The whole… front line is more than 1,000 km [621 miles] long.
“Of course we have to defend and control areas near that line.
“What is the main reason for the partial mobilization…
“We’re calling in 300,000 reservists.”
Anti-Putin General SVR Channel Claims to Have Inside Information on the Kremlin.
It foretold his move to institute a partial mobilization amid massive Russian war failures.
The channel has long claimed that Putin suffers from serious illnesses, including cancer, Parkinson’s disease and schizoaffective disorder.
It was reportedly written by an exiled Kremlin lieutenant general known by the alias Viktor Mikhailovich.
The channel claimed that the Kremlin wants to ban it, but has so far failed to do so.
