It is rumoured that Russian President Vladimir Putin has cancer of the spinal cord due to which he is in a hurry to invade Ukraine.
According to New York Post, Putin is allegedly being treated by a doctor from the old East Germany.
The doctor has been trying different treatments that include steroid shots, which would explain Putin's puffy appearance.
News outlets from Belarus to Poland have reported for months that the Russian President has cancer of the spinal cord.
Crispin Black, the British army veteran who reports on terrorism and intelligence, said earlier that persistent rumours about Putin's health are back.
Others say that Putin has only three years to live and wants to leave a legacy of expanding the Russian borders just like Peter the Great or Stalin.
