Putin has cancer. I hope he will die very soon – Budanov
The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, believes that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has cancer, and expressed hope for his quick death even before the end of the war.
He said this in an interview with the ABC News channel.
He has been ill for a long time, a very long time,” Budanov replied to the journalist’s question whether he thought the dictator would die.
To the question: when will Putin die, Budanov said with a smile: I think very soon. I hope.
In his opinion, the war in Ukraine should end before Putin’s death.
Answering a question about Putin’s illness, Budanov said that it is cancer, and “we just know it – from people, sources” close to the Russian dictator.
Budanov also suggested that after Putin’s death there will be a transfer of power in Russia.
In December, Putin canceled two official visits in a week, fueling new speculation about his failing health.
The dictator canceled his visits to Pskov allegedly due to non-flying conditions, although the city administration reported good weather in the afternoon, and the vast majority of planes flew to Pskov from St. Petersburg, where, according to official data, Putin was staying. A trip to Nizhny Tagil was canceled earlier.
