Bombshell leaked spy docs suggest Putin DOES have Parkinson’s and cancer… and is 'stuffed full of steroids' | The Sun
BOMBSHELL leaked spy documents appear to confirm Vladimir Putin does have early stage Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer.
The 70-year-old Russian tyrant's health has long been the source of speculation – with Western intelligence suggesting he has serious health issues.
Rumours of the president's ill health have been swirling for years – and he is believed to be followed by a team of doctors who carefully monitor his health.
There have been Western claims about Putin’s health, notably from ex-MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove, who said the Russian leader faces being sent to a sanatorium, and will be gone by 2023, due to medical issues.
The tyrant was recently pictured with suspected track marks from IV treatment on the back of his hand – amid rumours he's suffering from cancer and crippling pain.
And in emails now seen by The Sun Online, a Russian intelligence source close to the Kremlin appeared to confirm Putin has been diagnosed with early stage Parkinson's and pancreatic cancer.

They said there are also rumours he now has prostate cancer.
"I can confirm he has been diagnosed with early stage Parkinson's disease, but it's already progressing," the Russian security services insider claimed in the email.
"This fact will be denied in every possible way and hidden.
"Putin is regularly stuffed with all kinds of heavy steroids and innovative painkilling injections to stop the spread of pancreatic cancer he was recently diagnosed with.

"It not only causes a lot of pain, Putin has a state of puffiness of the face and other side effects – including memory lapses.
"In his close circle, there are rumours that in addition to pancreatic cancer, which is gradually spreading, Putin also has prostate cancer."
Kremlin officials have always denied there is anything wrong with their leader.
Putin has long prided himself on his "strongman" image – but his dramatic change over the past few years has prompted speculation that he may be suffering from a severe physical illness.
His public appearances during the Ukraine war have shown him out of breath, stumbling over his words, or looking exhausted.
Earlier this month, Putin appeared to be visibly in pain during a parade in Moscow's Red Square to celebrate breaking international law to annex four regions of Ukraine.
The ailing autocrat had a manic look with inflamed cheeks and a red face.
Political analyst Valery Solovey claims Putin is suffering from a number of serious illnesses – including cancer, Parkinson’s disease and a schizoaffective disorder.
Solovey said his health "is deteriorating… dramatically" – and suggested the tyrant's medical conditions have impacted his judgment on the shambolic war.
Just last week, Putin watched on as a barrage of ballistic and cruise missiles was fired as Moscow simulated a huge strike on the West.
The Russian president has repeatedly raised the spectre of using nuke weapons – and it's feared he could potentially be lining up a test in the Black Sea.
Game theory specialist Georgy Egorov warned a nuclear strike "makes sense" for Putin if he only has a few months to live.
He told Novaya Gazeta: "It makes sense to use nuclear weapons for Putin in only one situation – if the rumours about his health problems are true – if he has a few months left to live – he does not want to go down in history as a loser."
It comes after a video exposed a mysterious mark on Putin's hand as he tried to grasp a Russian soldier's arm last month.
He made the rare appearance as he fired a sniper rifle at a training camp for mobilised Russians.

Kyiv Post correspondent Jason Jay Smart claimed "videos released by [Russian] government news show what could be track marks, from IVs, on the hand of Putin".
He also alleged Moscow released two videos – one watermarked to supposedly mask Putin's hand and another that doesn't show them at all.
Russia's state news hastily deleted the footage in a move that added to speculation about Putin's ill health.
Former Ukraine correspondent Tom Warner said: "I downloaded the 5 vids of this event posted to Telegram… and looked at all closely for back of hand shots.
"This seems to be just a weird angle of bulged veins.
"But the hand and face are puffy in all scenes. Long-term steroids."
Lord Dannatt, the former chief of the defence staff, said Putin's "black hands" might give away the true state of his health.
He told Sky News: "Keen observers now are noticing that his hands are looking pretty black on top, which is a sign of injections going in when other parts of the body can't take injections.
"It's interesting to note that, and just to watch whether he is as fit and well as he would like to portray."
Others claimed the marks could be from a bite, while a retired neurosurgeon said it was "sclerotic veins from multiple IV catheters".
Kremlin insiders have reportedly admitted Putin's health is "sharply deteriorating" – and it's even been alleged he's used body doubles at some events.
Recent pictures show Putin looking frailer with a puffy face, while critics say he has been gripping the side of desks during public appearances to hide his tremors.
During talks with his defence minister Sergey Shoigu, the elderly tyrant was filmed gripping the table and slouching in a sign he's suffering from Parkinson's.
And the Russian leader's hands trembled violently in a video clip showing him greeting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at the Kremlin.
Other footage showed Putin biting his lips and fidgeting distractedly at a church service, further stoking claims the autocrat has a terminal illness.
He also appeared to limp and grimace as he walked during talks in Moscow with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in April.

And in June, Putin was given "urgent medical assistance" after being struck down by a "sharp sickness", according to Kremlin insiders.
Vlad was said to have fallen ill while talking to his military chiefs and suffered "sharp sickness, weakness and dizziness" as he got up from his desk after a 90-minute virtual session.
