In a frank discussion about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s time is running out, stating, “He will die soon, and that’s a fact, and it will come to an end.”
Zelensky also said he believes Putin is terrified of losing power within Russia during a roundtable conversation with journalists, including the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen.
Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte issued a stern warning to Russia, emphasizing that the alliance would unwaveringly support Poland or any other member in the event of an attack. During a visit to the country, the former Dutch Prime Minister cautioned, “If anyone were to miscalculate and think they can get away with an attack on Poland or on any other ally, they will be met with the full force of this fierce alliance.”
Zelensky’s blunt statement comes after years of speculation that Putin is suffering from “health problems” and may have even had a “mini-stroke.”
This has led to fears about his wellbeing in senior Kremlin circles.
Abbas Gallyamov, who worked as Putin’s speechwriter during his first two terms as president up until 2008, believes his former boss showed signs of more serious health issues two years ago.
He told Daily Express: “He definitely has some problems.
“Journalists are writing about cancer, but what we saw back in 2022 looked more like the consequences of a mini-stroke.”
The Russian despot was seen shaking “uncontrollably” during a meeting with Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Footage showed Putin walking stiffly and shaking as he walked to greet his key ally.
But the Russian president has never confirmed any health issues as the conflict with Ukraine continues.
