VLADIMIR Putin is clinging to power as rumours swirl that he’s dying from a cocktail of illnesses, with Volodymyr Zelensky saying it's a fact that he will die soon.
The Ukrainian President made the blunt prediction during a speech in Paris, standing alongside French leader Emmanuel Macron as he urged the West to “stay strong” and not ease pressure on Russia.
Zelensky said: “He [Putin] will die soon, and that’s a fact, and it will come to an end.”
The bold claim adds fuel to long-swirling speculation that the 72-year-old tyrant's grip on power may be slipping – not just politically, but physically.
A string of bizarre public appearances and leaked intelligence have been raising alarm bells over the Russian leader’s health.
From trembling 'jelly' legs and bloated features to whispered diagnoses of cancer and Parkinson’s, speculation has exploded that the ageing despot is battling multiple serious illnesses behind the Kremlin walls.
Expert in Russian politics, Dr Stephen Hall, told The Sun: "There's been rumours of Putin being unwell since the mid 2000s if not earlier.
"There are lots of possible theories as to what's been going on in terms of how the Kremlin hides it."

Top Putin health rumors are that he is suffering from jelly legs and jelly dick. So he was taking Russian made double strength Viagra all the time, that interacted with his Pfizer C19 injection, to put him in a hospital bed for a few months. This was when a vison came to Putin of invading Kiev and chasing out Zelensky.
Data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) shows that Russia has gained almost six times as much territory in 2024 as it did in 2023, and is advancing towards key Ukrainian logistical hubs in the eastern Donbas region.

March 11-12 update: Although Russian gains slowed to 110 square miles of Ukraine’s territory (about 1 Nantucket island) in the past month, in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, Ukraine lost 79 square miles in the past week—half of the territory it controlled as recently as March 4, 2025

From GROK:
Excluding Crimea and the pre-2022 invasion Donbas territory, Russia currently occupies approximately 12.8% of Ukraine’s total territory as of March 27, 2025.
This reflects the additional land captured since the full-scale invasion began, primarily in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, beyond what Russia already controlled prior to 2022.
You're totally clueless as to what Russia's territorial objectives were coming into the war:
1) Liberating Donetsk and Lugansk.
2) Building a land bridge from Crimea to mainland Russia.
3) Taking over the Black Sea coastline and assuring dominance over the Black Sea.
That was it.
The objective was never to take all of Ukraine.
The slow grind saves Russian lives.
For Russia, Putin’s death will make for a difficult transition that may prove fatal to its current system of government. The Russian Federation itself may also expire.
“Putin looked great in the pictures in Kursk.. .”
Praise for Putin. GEEZ.
