Ukraine’s spy chief is one of the most optimistic officials in the country invaded 80 days ago by Russia. Major General Kyrylo Budanov, 36, said last night that a coup has already been launched to overthrow Vladimir Putin and that Russia would lose the war at the end of this year. Budanov added that at the end of summer there will be a turning point that It will mean the removal of Putin as president. “It will be in the second half of August,” the general explained to Sky News.
Putin’s departure will mean a radical change in the invasion of Ukraine. For Budanov by the end of the year the fighting will be over and “we will renew Ukrainian power in all our territories.” The head of Ukrainian military intelligence did not reveal where his information came from, but in the country they consider that this optimism may be based on a more or less solid basis because Budanov was one of the few officials who warned of the intentions of the Russian army to cross its borders to take over the country.
The general was highly critical of the invading forces, whom he described as “a horde of people with weapons”, and called the “myth” in much publicized Russian power. About Vladimir Putin he added that he is in a “very bad psychological and physical state”, due to cancer and other illnesses.
The state of health of the tenant of the Kremlin has been the subject of much speculation so far this year, accentuated by the alleged physical consequences that have left him. His image has changed remarkably, with a more swollen face, what could be a side effect of taking steroids to treat their pathologies: cancer, back problems, Parkinson’s…
A Russian oligarch named Yuri recently spoke to New Lines magazine and said that the president He suffered from lower back problems. This week, during the Victory Day parade he was seen walking clumsily and rumors about his health condition have surfaced again and the possibility that you may have Parkinson’s.
Rumors after his public appearances
The truth is that Putin’s public appearances have been significantly reduced in recent months and when he appears on television, his image is very careful. Still, in March after giving a speech in favor of invading Ukraine, he was seen down a flight of stairs with difficulty. could also be seen how his right hand trembled, the same one he tried to stop by grabbing the armrest of a chair during a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Mobility or back problems may be related to blood cancers such as lymphoma or myeloma, which can cause serious bone problems in the spine. these diseases can be treated with steroids, which would justify that your face is more swollen than usual.
If all of the above is added to the extremely rigorous rules imposed by the Kremlin against covid in some meetings, it may be related to a possible weakening of Putin’s immune system and hence his fear of contagion.
To increase speculation about his health, last Wednesday Putin did not attend the annual ice hockey game in which he is the protagonist every year. It is the second time that the Russian president has not attended the meeting since 2012… The first time was for health reasons.
The rumors have reached such a point that on Thursday there was already talk that the Kremlin has prepared several body doubles for the president to make public appearances while the Russian leader underwent urgent surgery that would have him “out of action” for a few days.
