Vladimir Putin's declining health was responsible for his pulling out of several planned events and appearances in December, it has been claimed.
Telegram channel General SVR, which purports to have insider sources in the Kremlin, said Putin's doctors recently noted a 'significant deterioration in his health' and recommended that he step away from appearances to rest.
'In December, following medical recommendations, the president canceled several traditional events and several visits,' the channel alleged.
Putin, who turned 70 this year, 'gets tired quickly', suffers 'frequent bouts of dizziness and headaches' and is also prone to 'clouding of consciousness', it added.
The stresses of his failing war in Ukraine are also taking a toll, it is claimed.
'Constant nervous tension and immersion in problems at the front created a negative environment for the course of [his] diseases.'
While the Russian president has appeared to be busy and today held a short video conference with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, he has cancelled planned appearances at a number of significant events.
These include the last minute pullout from a presidential trip to Pskov on December 28, which was officially blamed on 'unfavourable flying conditions' despite weather forecasts suggesting the skies were clear.
A week ago the Russian president was reported to have shelved a visit to Russia's biggest tank plant in Nizhny Tagil, in the Ural mountains, and also cancelled his usual appearance at an end of year meeting of his government ministers.
Putin refused to go-ahead with his traditional December press conference, which typically sees the president speak for up to four hours and field questions from journalists and viewers, and even cancelled his beloved end-of-year ice-hockey game.

Your Putin just closed Red Square for tomorrow after he fled to Sochi. What’s he afraid of?
Can a person die from too many health rumors?
Neither side is winning and the foolishness of it is costing needless loss of life on both sides.

Welcome to the FRay. Of course your line is standard pro-Putin dialogue and used here frequently by other trolls.
I've heard they're a throuple [the beast with three backs]...
And it would if you pro-Putin people would just go elsewhere.

Not enough flat shovels till after Christmas, from what I've heard.
You either have Russian Derangement Syndrome and come here and lie everyday.
In case you missed, it was the West and NATO that broke the Minsk Agreement that, if implemented, would have prevented this war. We and NATO were the ones the promised no eastward expansion to Russia in early '90s.
You're like your father, the devil, a liar.
Putin to declare martial law and close Russia’s borders in a week. So much winning!
I expect a similar response from Kazan in 3...2...1...
He saw the latest Jack Ryan series about a coup within Russia…
And BTW FISH I’ve been here a whole lot longer than you. I hope you’re as gung ho when Xi goes for Taiwan. Those are people who truly deserve our support.
What a disappointment that was.
Only in your mind can a claim that "neither side is winning" be construed as pro-Putin.
Neither side deserves American support, and the degree to which the Washington Uniparty has rallied behind Zelensky (giving billions away when they complained and nagged relentlessly about the relative pittance requested for the Southern border) should be a screaming red flag.
I don’t know. The news coming out of Russia is mostly disinformation, as if Obama and Hillary are their news commissars.
The wolves are waiting. Kadyrov, Prigozhin, Medvevev, Patrushev, Kiriyenko, Lukashenko.
Being on such a list could be bad for your health. Just saying.
When did you go off your meds marcusmaximus?
Your type said the same thing about Churchill and US Lend Lease to Britain while Hitler was bombing London in 1940.
The globalists keep saying he’s sick and he’s going to die any day now.
Your Putin told his people no more mobilizations. He lied to them.
Your Biden is a communist theif.
