Does Vladimir Putin have cancer and is he dying? The reports and evidence on the Russian President

Since Russia invaded Ukraine there has been much speculation about the health of its president Vladimir Putin. Some rumours have suggested the 69-year-old has cancer while others point towards a Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

The leader prompted the biggest war in Europe since World War Two on the basis that Western-leaning Ukraine was a threat and that Russia could not feel "safe, develop and exist". Since the invasion began on February 24, thousands have died while towns and cities lie in ruins. Around 13 million people have left where they called home.
