A former British spy, Christopher Steele, who ran the Russian desk of MI6 has claimed that the Russian President Vladimir Putin is seriously unwell and is in constant need of medical attention. According to reports this is causing a lot of chaos in Kremlin.

Steele claimed that his health crisis has left Moscow in turmoil as they balance dealing with his health and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He also claimed that the exact details of his health is not known to even his closest advisors.

Christopher Steele told LBC's Eddie Mair earlier today, “He's constantly accompanied around the place by a team of doctors. Meetings of the security council that are shown to supposedly last for a whole hour are actually broken up into several sections, he goes out and receives some kind of medical treatment between those sections.”

There have been various reports in the past regarding the health of Russian leader with many claiming that he is suffering from cancer, undergoing chemotherapy and steroid treatment among other ailments. There are further reports that Putin is suffering from Parkinson's or early-stage dementia.
