Earlier in May, it was believed that Putin might be required to undergo cancer surgery soon. Putin has reportedly been diagnosed with stomach cancer and Parkinson’s disease about a year and a half back. Sources said that Putin had already delayed the surgery long enough and cannot be put it off any longer. This news came forth when Russia was at the peak of its invasion of Ukraine.
Lavrov, while talking to France’s broadcaster TF1, said that no sane person will see any signs of some kind of illness when they watch Putin. He said that people who are spreading these rumours should self-reflect.
