Putin is “Seriously ill” with Blood Cancer: Reports

Russian Oligarch says Vladimir Putin is suffering from blood cancer.
The media is suggesting that Putin has an illness related to his blood, but this is unconfirmed.
“An oligarch close to Putin’s inner circle” believes that he does have a physical ailment, and said, “He’s very ill…somewhere between a grave illness and death.”
“The problem is with his head. One crazy guy can turn the world upside down,” the oligarch said.
A report by The New Lines said that a venture capitalist transcribed a conversation with an oligarch, which lasted for 11 minutes.
The former European security official also described the unnamed oligarch as belonging to a close circle of Vladimir Putin.
He also points out that there have been over 15,000 Russian soldiers and 4,000-5,000 civilians killed in Ukraine since the start of the war.
