One of the most recent US intelligence reports concludes that it is very likely that Vladimir Putin has advanced stage cancer and that they will have undergone treatments last April.
The information was confirmed to Newsweek by three different US intelligence sources, one from the Office of the National Director of Information, a retired Air Force officer and a member of the Defense Intelligence Agency, who emphasize, without However, it is difficult to be absolutely sure of the state of health of the Russian president, given his high degree of isolation. “What we do know is that there is a icebergalthough it is covered by fog, ”said one of the sources to the North American magazine.
The conclusion that Putin must be ill, however, content in the report delivered to the Joe Biden administration at the end of May, according to these sources.
The information comes after months of speculation about the state of health of the Russian leader. In early May, New Lines magazine had access to a recording of a oligarch close to the Kremlin where he stated that Putin will have a type of blood cancer. Weeks later, American director Oliver Stone, known for his friendly interviews with the Russian president, declared publicly in a podcast that Putin had cancer in the past, “but I think he’s over it,” he said.
Last Sunday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov publicly denied that the Russian leader is ill. A statement that, for the intelligence sources consulted by Newsweek, is more a test of loyalty on the part of Lavrov than a statement to take as absolute truth.
The report given to Biden by the secret also reveals that the situation in the Kremlin is one of intense paranoia on the part of Putin, with possible threats to his leadership. According to the document, there was even an assassination attempt on the Russian president in March. “The maneuvers inside the Kremlin have never been so intense since he has been in power, everyone feels that the end is near,” said one of the sources.
