Rumours have persisted that Putin is “critically ill” and the latest claims come after he appeared to wheeze and gasp through a meeting with grieving mothers whose children were killed in Ukraine.
Bombshell spy documents leaked to The Sun Online appeared to confirm Putin has early stage Parkinson’s disease and pancreatic cancer after months of rumours.
The latest report about his health comes from Russian Telegram channel General SVR which claims to be fed information by Kremlin insider.
The channel bases its claim on having sources in Putin’s entourage without offering more proof.
According to the channel, the fall led to bruising of his coccyx but also highlighted problems from “cancer of the gastrointestinal tract”.
The Russian president was walking downstairs when he “stumbled and fell to his back, after which he fell on his side and slid down a couple of steps.
“The incident took place in front of the president’s bodyguards, who reacted quickly and rushed to Putin’s aid,” alleges General SVR.
“Three security officers helped the president to get to the nearest sofa and called the doctors who are on duty at the residence.”
Its report says medics “arrived within a few minutes, but could not immediately examine the president”.
This was due to him suffering “oncology of the gastrointestinal tract, as a result of which he already experiences serious problems with digestion”.
The fall caused an “involuntary” reaction and doctors escorted the president to the bathroom and helped to clean up before they examined him.
Nothing critical was diagnosed and the bruising was treated with painkillers while an investigation is to be carried out into what provoked the alleged fall.
“He wears special shoes, even at home, with anti-slip coating, and the stairs in the residence are considered ‘safe’,” alleges General SVR.
“As it turns out, all precautions are meaningless when nerves are at stake.”
Despite this alleged incident Putin was able to attend and speak at a young scientists’ conference in Moscow on Thursday.
Earlier this week, Putin’s feet appeared to twitch and spasm during a meeting with Kazakhstan’s president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, a possible sign of Parkinson’s disease.
Footage showed his legs jolting and his feet tapping as he spoke to the cameras about the “special significance” of the meeting.
He was also pictured with a discoloured hand while meeting with his counterpart from Cuba.
