Kremlin, on Tuesday, denied reports of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ill health. Addressing a press conference, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, “There is nothing wrong with him. As usual, this is a hoax.” The remarks came hours after media reports claimed that the Russian leader had suffered a heart attack.
It is pertinent to note that over the weekend, western media circulated reports of Putin’s ill health. The claims were based on an unverfied report from a Telegram channel managed by a self-proclaimed "Kremlin Insider," the Russian leader purportedly experienced a heart attack on October 22 and had to be resuscitated.
The Telegram channel, overseen by someone claiming to have insider knowledge of the Kremlin, alleges that guards found the 71-year-old Russian leader lying on the floor of his bedroom with "rolling eyes."
A report from the UK-based Mirror claims that Vladimir Putin was resuscitated following his cardiac arrest and is currently in the process of recovering in a specialized intensive care unit situated within the official presidential residence. It's worth noting that the Telegram channel General SVR has been consistently reporting on the health of the Russian leader over an extended period.
“Doctors performed resuscitation, having previously determined that the president was in cardiac arrest. Help was provided on time, the heart was started and Putin regained consciousness,” the Telegram channel reported.
