Putin ‘dizzy and weak’ as he suffers side effects from medication, according to inside sources

Russian President Vladimir Putin has become “withdrawn, silent and deeply concerned” as he undergoes new medical treatment, it was claimed today.

The claims were made by the Putin-watching Telegram channel General SVR, who claims to have inside knowledge of his circle and ties to his bodyguards.

There has been speculation in Russia that Putin, 70, is suffering from cancer, early-stage Parkinson’s disease and other ailments, including schizoaffective disorder.

‘Putin is under treatment with drugs which, in addition to their therapeutic effect, cause weakness, dizziness, [and] lack of appetite, which does not affect his psycho-emotional state in the best way,’ reported General SVR.

Putin was last seen in person, rather than by video link, at a funeral in Ufa on Friday.

He added that he has become “quiet” and “gets hardly anyone” in person while appearing “deeply concerned in recent days.”

“He is about to gamble, if not go all out, raising the stakes to a critical level,” claimed the channel, which has repeatedly claimed Putin suffers from multiple medical conditions and is terminally ill.

The presenter continued his analysis on the health of the Russian president: “In the event of the failure of the next Russian offensive on the front and loss of control even of a part of the previously occupied territories, it will be impossible to convince the elites of the possibility of a ‘victorious’ exit from the military adventure…

‘In that case, there will be no more victorious offensives by Russian troops. There would be a guaranteed defeat, with all the consequences for Putin personally.

“The use of nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine, in such a case, is possible.”

However, this would result in ‘a general catastrophe for Putin and for all elites without exception’, nullifying his regime and making the chances of him retaining power ‘just ghostly’.

The channel warned that “general mobilization and martial law” are plans “which, if implemented, will undoubtedly result in hundreds of thousands of new victims and a disaster not only for Russia, but for the entire world.”

‘War exists in the mind of a terminally ill man with a disturbed psyche, who is trying to take as many people as possible to the mythical ‘paradise’.

“This is worth understanding for all those who participate or are about to participate in hostilities on the side of the Putin regime and follow the order to use nuclear weapons.”

Meanwhile, Putin watcher Valery Solovey said Valery Gerasimov’s appointment as war commander general was a last-ditch attempt by the president to “turn the tide.”

His video conferences are often suspected of being pre-recorded, allowing him to be absent, as with Novosibirsk Regional Governor Andrey Travnikov on January 16.

The appointment comes amid Putin’s deteriorating health.

‘[Putin] he is afraid of any infection, even the ones that are easy to treat,’ he said.

He has a very weakened immune system. He is weakened by aggressiveness. [cancer] treatment, the drugs he is forced to take.

‘The dynamics are negative, and their environment knows it. This is no longer particularly hidden.

Today the dictator appeared with leading government financial specialists, bragging that some defense plants are working non-stop because of the war.

The SVR general claimed that the trip to Ufa on Friday involved a ‘body double’ and not the real Putin.

However, the channel was the only one to claim that it was a specially trained double.

“Soon, the deputy will appear more and more often as president,” the channel said. The president’s health tends to worsen.

In Ufa, the ‘president’ was seen paying his respects at the open coffin of the ironclad Murtaza Rakhimov, former leader of Russia’s oil-rich Bashkortostan republic, who has died aged 88.

He also met with the current head of the region, Radiy Habirov.
