Vladimir Putin has suffered a relapse in his health as President Joe Biden arrived in Kyiv, it was claimed today.
It has been said by insiders that the Russian President, 70, will be forced to undergo new treatment in early March, impacting on his ability to oversee his war with Ukraine.
The claim, which cannot be verified, comes from the Russian telegram channel General SVR which has repeatedly made claims that Putin is suffering serious medical problems including cancer and says to have Kremlin insiders.
It coincided with 80-year-old Biden’s visit to Kyiv, just 530 miles from the Russian capital Moscow.
“Over the weekend, Putin underwent another medical check-up,” said the channel.

His “deteriorating health condition” means an “inability to actively participate in various activities during the treatment”.
He will be unable to “fully participate in the governance of the [military operation in Ukraine].”
The channel said: “It should be recalled that at the end of last year, due to the onset of therapy, Putin was forced to cancel a number of large traditional events and temporarily withdraw from most of the information agenda.”

The channel has long claimed that he is suffering from cancer leading to digestive problems and other ailments.
Putin suffers “bouts of coughing, dizziness, sleep disturbances, abdominal pain [and] constant nausea” as well as “the manifestation of symptoms of Parkinson's disease and schizoaffective disorder”, it has alleged.
