Vladimir Putin underwent “successful” surgery for cancer last week as the Kremlin used "deepfake" technology to pretend he was still working, it has been claimed.
This followed his medics insisting the operation was essential, according to opposition Telegram channel General SVR which has regularly claimed inside knowledge of the Kremlin’s leader’s supposed health problems.
There was a problem in his post-surgical recovery on Friday night when his condition worsened before improving, it was alleged.
