"Bombshell" from secret services Putin has been treated for cancer His health condition is increasingly the subject of intense debate
A secret report by the US secret services published by newsweek.com reports that Putin has advanced cancer and was even secretly hospitalized for treatment in April.
In fact, the report is confirmed to the magazine by senior US intelligence officials who have read both it and the attached medical reports.
And assassination attempt
Besides, an important part of the classified report confirms that a month earlier, in March, there was an assassination attempt on the Russian president which failed.
The report expresses concern that Putin is becoming increasingly paranoid about remaining in power which makes him extremely unpredictable. However, the prospects for a nuclear war - according to the classified document - are less likely.
A senior intelligence official told newsweek that now the challenge to Putin's authority from within is strong and he knows this himself, just as he knows that inside the Kremlin, i.e. close associates, are challenging him, although not in front of him.
However, the report concludes that from now on any information gathered by the US intelligence agencies about his health will be extremely difficult for the fact that the Russian President is now in complete isolation with few of his own people.
An official from the office of the director of US intelligence said. "What we now know is that there is an iceberg out there, albeit a fog-covered one."
