A former British intelligence officer has claimed Vladimir Putin has just three to six months left before he's “medically incapacitated”. The Daily Star reported that since the start of the invasion of Ukraine in February, it has been claimed that Putin has incurable cancer, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's - and that he either has just three years to live or is already dead.
Former CIA agent Robert Baer claimed that there could be some truth in the claims. And ex-British intelligence man Christopher Steele agrees.
He told BBC Radio 4’s The World at One: “I don’t see him [Putin] being in power for more than three to six months from now. There are signs his health is failing for a start which will be a factor in this.
