Exclusive translation: Relatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin are worried about bouts of coughing, persistent nausea and lack of appetite, after the Russian leader underwent a medical examination at the weekend.
His relatives noted that “thinness and a constant cough” had become noticeable and would be seen as “a sign of the leader’s rapidly deteriorating health,” according to Telegram General SVR.
The channel, which reports that it has sources inside the Kremlin, said that despite appearing bloated, the Russian president has lost 18 pounds in recent months.
Today Putin appeared uncomfortably coughing as he spoke in a calm, stressed tone during a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
It is noteworthy that many press reports predicted that the Russian president would suffer from cancer, after noticing strange things on his body and physical movements.
