A major flu outbreak has hit Kremlin and could force Russian President Vladimir Putin into isolation in a bunker, a report in Metro said.
The development comes a day after officials announced that Mr Putin will not hold his annual end-of-year press conference this year. Since Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov gave no reason or the break with tradition, several outlets are claiming that it has been done due to health issues Mr Putin is facing. After Russia launched its offensive against Ukraine in February this year, there has been a renewed focus on Mr Putin's health.
"Yes, this year, flu came to stay. The most unpleasant thing in this situation that it is precisely the flu variant which causes the most serious damage to health. This is the flu A virus (H1N1) of the pandemic year of 2009. In 2009, it emerged for the first time as a type of flu with high spread potential and triggered the 2009-2020 pandemic," she said in an interview with the Rossiya-1 TV channel.
Metro said Russian officials are keeping the President away from people in the wake of the spread of this infectious disease. It added that Mr Putin is expected to abandon his address to the Upper House of Russian Parliament as many officials are affected by flu.

Who is healthier ? Putin or Biden
Both are sickos. Putin is 70. Biden is 80.
Great question!
I suspect Biden is in worse shape but getting better medical care.
Also I think Putin has to actually run his country (a heavy workload) whereas Biden is just a public figurehead.
Hitler had an effective army. [No thanks to him]
Oh those clever Ukrainian scientist making Russians sick! /s
That made me laugh.
The Wu-flu? Did Putin bring it back from the summit where he was snubbed by Xi?
If it is the run-of-the mill flu...well, it IS flu season.
Well, he sure as hell had one for two years: 1939 - 1941.
The laugh was over Putin’s army, not either army of WWII
That would be a great cover story for another reason to bunker down. Like Russia General says maybe it is time for a nuke party.
Got it.
“Kremlin flu” used to be a lot less...literal.
Magnum44: That made me laugh.
Hitler did have an effective army. A tiny country of Germany took on the US, UK, Soviet Union and the rest of the free world and gave everyone a run for their money until almost the very end.
Both twisted, warped, and black inside. Zelensky too.
Its all a frigging pretext.
Russia’s use of sustained artillery fires on entrenched Ukrainian troops in places like Bakhmut and Soledar is taking a toll that is being counted in the thousands. It appears that for every single Russian casualty there are 10 Ukrainians killed or wounded. Take a look at this letter notifying prospective patients who had planned elective surgery in Kiev to stay home (at link):
Scheduled hospital admissions have been halted in Kiev since 2 December on the orders of the Kiev administration. The reason is the huge number of wounded coming from Bakhmut.
According to an eyewitness, a journalist for the major Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, more than 100 seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers are being admitted to one hospital evacuation point alone.
Do you arouse yourself when you read and post these stories? Are Putinsexual?
