The end is near? A new US intelligence report has found that Russian President Vladimir Putin was treated for cancer about a month ago, Newsweek reported today (Thursday).
According to the report, based on the statements of three senior US intelligence officials, in recent months Putin’s health has deteriorated, and last April he underwent advanced cancer treatment. Speculations about the president’s condition.
