Russian authorities have closely monitored the public reaction to fake reports of the death of Vladimir Putin and may punish those who praised the demise of the Russian president, according to Ukrainian intelligence.
Andrii Yusov, a representative of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, was responding to the claims emerging last week that Putin had died after a cardiac arrest and that those in his inner circle were planning a body double to replace him...
In what could have a plot line borrowed from the 2017 film The Death of Stalin, which satirizes the indecision among the inner circle of the former Soviet leader when he died in 1953, the post said medical staff had been "blocked in the room with Putin's corpse."
The rumors about Putin's alleged demise proliferated online, leading to a spike among Russians using the search terms "dead Putin, dying Putin, and Putin died," according to the Russian investigative site, Agentstvo ...

This hoser is a joke.
Doubt this is true.....BIG doubt.
Okay, now that even our own government is admitting that it is time to negotiate peace, can we knock off the useless pro globalist propoganda.
😆😄😂🤣
I’m just relieved to know that our government would never even consider such a thing. Free speech and all that.
Is this the same intel who pushed Zelensky as Churchill, or was that done by you Canadians?
there’s no peace with Russia, Andy
Russia just uses that time to re-arm and prepare for its next attack
and that’s the problem here, how to guarantee Ukraine’s security against Russia’s inevitable next attack
NATO membership? probably
Israel should be admitted to NATO. So should Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.

Canadians? CORRECTION: French Canadians…. Oh, so VERY, VERY FRENCH Canadians.
it might come to that, simply an alliance of free countries against the warmongering monsters (Russia, China, Iran, NK)
the monsters are already teaming up ...
Zeepers LOVE them some liberal news source articles!
Anyone who would publicly celebrate a death based solely on rumors is too dumb to constitute a threat to any powers-that-be.
and Russian stooges hate anything that makes Russia look bad
I don't know any, but clearly you see them behind every tree in Canada...
Meanwhile, you salivate over every liberal article about PUTIN! and RuZZia!
and you obsess over “Zeepers”, “Neocons” and “Globohomo”
you seem to see them in every situation!
