There is chaos in the Kremlin as Vladimir Putin's reportedly declining health sees the Russian leader surrounded by doctors, an ex top British spy believes. Former government intelligence professional Christopher Steele believes the mysterious illness that has plagued Putin, 69, has left Moscow having to deal with the president's health and the war in Ukraine, the Mirror reports.
Speaking to LBC's Eddie Mair, Mr Steele, who ran the Russia desk at MI6 in London between 2006 and 2009, claimed Putin needed round-the-clock medical care. But the exact details of his conditions were not known, even to high-ranking colleagues
He said: "He's constantly accompanied around the place by a team of doctors. Meetings of the security council that are shown to supposedly last for a whole hour are actually broken up into several sections, he goes out and receives some kind of medical treatment between those sections.
