The British media have started to spread rumours that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has health problems that are forcing him to step down.
Unsubstantiated information allegedly obtained from certain sources appeared on the pages of The Sun. They believe that Putin has developed Parkinson’s disease, which is why he will retire as early as 2021.
The media claimed that the Russian president’s fingers “twitch” when he holds a pen or cup, which, according to Western media, contains a “cocktail of painkillers”.
The situation has already been commented on by the Russian president’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov. He refuted the information stuffing of a British publication, officially stating that Putin is not going to resign.
“This is bullshit. The President is doing well”, – said the Kremlin representative.
