People have claimed that Vladimir Putin is riddled with cancer and in “crippling pain” after watching his speech in which he annexed four regions of Ukraine.

The President of Russia attended a parade in Moscow’s Red Square earlier this week and onlookers couldn’t help but notice he looked to be in discomfort the whole time.

It has been claimed that the leader is attempting to cement his place in history and change the course of Russia’s history before his body is overcome with ill health.

During his parade, he is seen leaning forward and clutching his hands multiple times with a “manic” look in his eye.

In his speech, Putin put on a menacing face and suggested his actions are uniting his country and allowing them to work together. He said: “We have become stronger because we are together.

"Truth is behind us, and in truth is strength, which means victory. Victory will be ours.”

However, rumours are circulating that his health is deteriorating and he is looking to secure Russia’s future before he dies.

These claims have been made frequently and have come to light over the past few months. A new unsubstantiated report from Telegram channel General SVR has added fuel to the fire of speculation.

It states that while in the war rooms before the speech, Putin "complained of aching pain in the abdominal cavity, which could not be quickly stopped, and he held the meeting leaning forward, trying to maintain a natural posture".

They also claim: "Putin’s oncology is progressing and, despite adequate treatment lately, the pain is not always completely relieved.

"It must be understood that the deplorable state of the president's physical and mental health affects the adoption of key decisions.

"Putin doesn't want to change history, he wants to end it.”

The channel has long claimed Putin’s ill health and said the cause of his discomfort is due to him suffering from: abdominal cancer, early Parkinson’s disease and schizoaffective disorder.

Political scientist, Valery Solovey claimed Putin’s condition is “dramatically deteriorating”.

Claiming to have sources inside Putin’s circle, he claims: “All of the decisions made by him…on February 24 [start Russian invasion of Ukraine] and September 21 [start of mobilisation] are a direct consequence of his physiological status.

“Direct in the sense of physiological health and in terms of mental [health].”

Russian independent media Proekt suggested that Putin is permanently surrounded by doctors and cancer specialists who keep a close eye on him, especially at public appearances.
