Deposed president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych is in a Moscow hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack, it was reported in Russia today.
His condition was said to be 'grave', Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper, known as MK, has claimed, citing unofficial sources.
Vladimir Putin dismissed a report earlier this week that Yanukovych had died from a heart attack in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
On Tuesday, the Kremlin leader said his former ally was 'alive and healthy', and that he had met him several days earlier.
However, Yanukovych has not been seen in public since giving a press conference in Russia one week ago.
Putin also claimed the former leader would have been killed if not for his rescue in Sevastopol by Russian forces.
Today the newspaper said: 'According to an MK source, Yanukovych may have had a heart attack. His condition is assessed as grave.'
The name of the Moscow hospital was not given.
'So far there has been no official confirmation,' stated the newspaper.

Rumor has it he died several days ago which is why Putin temporarily backed off his invasion plans.
Sorry - some of the text “got” jumbled out of order.
Should be:
Deposed president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych is in a Moscow hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack, it was reported in Russia today.
His condition was said to be ‘grave’, Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper, known as MK, has claimed, citing unofficial sources.
Austrian authorities meanwhile have said SWAT teams boarded a plane carrying Ukraine’s new Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk after receiving a threat that a terrorist attack was planned.
Austria’s Interior Ministry has said today the team boarded the plane after it received a security warning from German flight controllers after its scheduled landing in Vienna on Thursday night. Nothing out of the ordinary was found.
Mr Yatsenyuk, who was making his way after addressing European Union leaders in Brussels, then took his scheduled connection to Kiev.
German flight control spokeswoman Kristina Kelek said the initial warning came from Belgian police and was then relayed by her office to Austrian authorities because the plane was already almost out of German airspace when it was received.
She says it was a vague warning that ‘there was possibly a terrorist attack planned’.

LOL—maybe they should picture him standing with aides holding him up, like that Chernenko dude.
AKA “The Kremlin Flu”.
Man, they sure know how to get rid of a problem...
PING
Putin/KGB induced heart attack? pong
Weekend in Moscow.
um... I don’t even know what to think of this news.
Must have been all the exertion of carrying his loot to Russia.
How’s Paulie?
Oh Paulie...you won’t see him no more.
Man, they sure know how to get rid of a problem...
Yep. Arkencide, Russian style.
Once the Yanukovitch language is not useful, he just dies... Ah, the glory years of the 1984 style purges. Linerals should be careful about being brainwashed. They are going to make the leadership switch the language on them....
Or the Kalashnicough...
He had the heart attack...
AND THEN...
He died.
Some aparatchik functionary just released the death announcement before the initial heart attack announcement, 'tis all!
Heart attacked by Russian lead.
“Weekend at Vicktor’s” :-)
I wonder if Barack would “like” this the way he “likes” China’s “president’s” freedom to dictate without a Congress “messing” with his presidency?
