“Putin Will Die Soon” – Zelenskyy Declares

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that Russian leader Vladimir Putin “will die soon,” adding to ongoing speculation about the Kremlin chief’s health. Zelenskyy made the statement during an interview with journalists in Paris following a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

“He (Putin) will die soon, and that’s a fact, and it will come to an end,” Zelenskyy asserted, reinforcing long-standing rumors about the Russian president’s condition. For years, speculation has swirled regarding Putin’s health, with observers pointing to his appearance and behavior as possible signs of illness.

At 72, Putin has frequently appeared with a puffy face, bloodshot eyes, and an unsteady leg. A widely discussed 2022 incident showed him slouching in his chair, gripping a table, and speaking with a slur during a meeting with then-Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. Reports have also emerged of him coughing persistently and exhibiting involuntary hand and foot movements, as well as occasional signs of a limp.

Despite repeated denials from the Kremlin, rumors about Putin’s health persist.
