At a time when scenarios about Vladimir Putin's health give and take, an independent Russian media outlet reinforces the theory that the Russian president is suffering from thyroid cancer.
According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, citing Proekt, a Russian independent media outlet specializing in investigative journalism, the Kremlin strongman is diligently hiding his health problem.
"We show you the list of doctors who accompany the president on his trips," the Russian outlet said in its article.
"The doctors, among them Alexei Cheglov, Yaroslav Potashenko and Yevgeny Seliyanov, appear to have visited Putin for long periods in the past, "when he was apparently experiencing problems with his back."
Recently, however, the Russian publication said, Putin sought the help of "a specialist in thyroid cancer. This doctor visited him 35 times over four years at his palace, located in Sochi on the Black Sea."
This is the endocrinologist at Moscow's Central Hospital, Yevgeny Shelyanov. However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quick to deny the Russian report, according to the Pravda newspaper on Twitter.
Initially, doctors rarely visited Vladimir Putin , according to the Russian media outlet. "Proekt", however, publishes a list of data according to which Putin cancelled, possibly for health reasons, official trips, contacts or participation in various events.
In November 2016, the Russian president retired for a week in Sochi, avoiding public outings.
But even during the pandemic, he began to behave unusually and isolated himself several times, the article comments.
A few weeks ago, US and British intelligence agencies leaked information that Putin may be undergoing treatment for a tumor, commenting that his face was pale which may be related to taking drugs such as steroids. These drugs could account for sudden bursts of anger and a change in his behaviour.
An anonymous source even recently told the British newspaper Daily Mail that there had been a 'change in the way Putin has been making decisions over the last five years'.
