Is Vladimir Putin Battling Cancer And Parkinson’s Disease?

Russian president, Vladimir Putin is reported to be battling cancer as well as symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease- and had emergency surgery in February.

A political analyst, Valery Solovei whose earlier claims about Putin’s failing health were denied also said Putin plans to announce his Kremlin exiting the New Year. Another anonymous source suggested the operation was on Putin’s abdomen.

Few gaps in the president’s schedule are apparent at the time but it is claimed his first appearance after the surgery was lay flowers in St Petersburg memorial site on February 19

These claims come two weeks after Solovei first spoke out over Putin’s health, suggesting that he has Parkinson’s. Speaking about this, the former head of PR at Moscow State Institute of International Relations believes that Putin is planning in stepping down due to his health problems and is planning to name his daughter, Katherina Tikhonova as his successor.
