Adding weight to rumors that Russian President Vladimir Putin is getting injections to treat a severe disease, a former British army officer claimed that Putin's hands are beginning to look black on top.
In a discussion on leaked Kremlin emails purportedly proving that the 70-year-old warmongering leader had Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer, Lord Richard Dannatt brought up the indication that Putin is receiving injections.
Spy Documents: Vladimir Putin Has Cancer
In recent pictures, Putin also looked to have multiple IV markings on his hands, which he frequently hides when attending formal events. Since years, there has been growing concern over Putin's health, with his hands frequently cited as a telltale symptom.
He has been spotted holding onto tables for months while speaking, his hands otherwise twitching. In a recent propaganda film, Putin was shown grabbing a soldier's arm and had what seemed to be strange markings on his right hand.
A doctored version with multiple watermarks obstructing the hand's visibility was apparently made public by the Kremlin. Online commenters believed it was a symptom of either swollen veins from a major sickness or IV track marks, as per NY Post.
Putin is believed to have prostate cancer and has Parkinson's disease, both of which are "already progressing," according to secret Kremlin emails. After he supposedly got a medical test, it was claimed last week that the despot's relatives are worried about coughing fits, severe nausea, and a lack of appetite.
His staff is concerned that the leader's "thinness and persistent cough" are becoming apparent and would be seen by Russian elites as "signs of the leader's rapidly failing health."
Putin Health Rumors
The Russian president had reportedly dropped 18 lbs. recently despite seeming noticeably fat and puffy in the face. On February 24, Putin gave the order for his armed forces to invade Ukraine, and since then, rumors concerning his health have circulated, according to Daily Mail.
Putin has been observed shaking uncontrollably, holding onto tables and chairs for stability, and seeming bloated and uneasy. In recent years, the president has also routinely vanished for weeks at a time from the public glare amid rumors that he is getting surgery. The Russian president was seen over the summer clumsily slapping mosquitoes out of his face with one arm as the other dangled by his side.
Similar to this, the now 70-year-old dictator looked to walk with a limp and had a blanket covering his lap at a large Victory Day parade in Moscow in May, while in April he was seen grasping a table in a televised meeting with his defense minister Sergei Shoigu.
Putin's health rumors have also been denied by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, who called them "nothing but fakes." Putin is said to have Parkinson's disease, schizoaffective condition, and abdominal cancer, according to the General SVR channel.
Although its assertions cannot be confirmed, it was among the first to reveal the general outline of Putin's most recent mobilization effort. According to reports, a Kremlin lieutenant general in exile who goes by the identity Viktor Mikhailovich writes for the station.
Per The Sun, recent photos show Putin appearing aged and perkier, and detractors claim he has been hiding his tremors by grasping the desk's edge when making public appearances.
The old tyrant was captured on camera grasping the table and slouching during discussions with Sergey Shoigu, his defense minister, which are signs of Parkinson's disease. In a video clip showing him introducing Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus in the Kremlin, the Russian president's hands shook ferociously.
Various videos of Putin fidgeting and biting his lips during a church service have fueled rumors that the tyrant is dying. In April, when he met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in Moscow, he also looked to limp and grimace as he walked.
