Putin ‘given three years to live’ and ‘is losing his eyesight due to illness’, claims spy

'He won't wear glasses to help because that would be a sign of weakness'

Russian President Vladimir Putin has allegedly been given three years to live and is losing his eyesight, a spy has claimed. There are a huge number of reports circulating that seemingly suggest that Putin, 69, has cancer, or at the very least, is seriously unwell. While none of these reports has been substantiated, the latest snippet comes straight from an FSB officer. He has "no more than two to three years to stay alive" and is allegedly suffering from "a severe form of rapidly progressing cancer." [caption id="attachment_339074" align="alignnone" width="2048"]

"We are told he is suffering from headaches and when he appears on TV he needs pieces of paper with everything written in huge letters to read what he's going to say," the spy told the Sunday Mirror. "They are so big each page can only hold a couple of sentences. His eyesight is seriously worsening." He also said that Putin's limbs are "now also shaking uncontrollably." "He won't wear glasses to help because that would be a sign of weakness," the message added. "He used to be composed with subordinates but now he has outbursts of uncontrolled fury. He has gone completely nuts and trusts almost no one." https://twitter.com/AnonOpsSE/status/1530776830004936704 These reports seem to match previous statements from Former MI6 Russia desk officer Christopher Steele, who said that Putin could not hold meetings without breaks for treatment. "He's constantly accompanied around the place by a team of doctors," he claimed. "The Kremlin is a bit like a shark pool. They all swim round and if they smell blood in the water they start fighting."
