He has at least a few more years. Like it or not, but it\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, the spy chief said Putin is in a \u201cconfused\u201d state mentally, Budanov added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere we can argue a lot about the state of the dictator, who thought he would capture the whole country [Ukraine] in three days and raise the Russian flag on the administration building in Kyiv,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd for the third month in a row, declaring that he has the second and sometimes the first army in the world, he cannot cope, in his words, \u2018with backward non-state Ukraine.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time Putin\u2019s health has been called into question.\u00a0Some reports say the 69-year-old former KGB agent has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, while others say that judging by his physical behavior at public events, he may have something else, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/putin-and-parkinsons-what-experts-say-about-his-health\/a-61597476\">Parkinson\u2019s<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.india.com\/news\/world\/putin-may-be-suffering-from-dementia-parkinsons-disease-report-5285354\/\">dementia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But another take, this one from a former MI6 chief, went further, saying Putin would be out of power and end up in a long-term care facility by 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/22\/putin-will-be-sent-to-sanatorium-by-2023-ex-mi6-chief\/\">according<\/a> to the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really going to stick my neck out. I think he\u2019ll be gone by 2023,\u201d Sir Richard Dearlove, who ran Britain\u2019s CIA-like agency, said on the \u201cOne Decision\u201d podcast, which he co-hosts. \u201cProbably into the sanatorium, from which he will not emerge as leader of Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Institutionalizing Putin could be what Dearlove called an \u201celegant\u201d alternative to a coup. In that event, he said one likely successor would be secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf my thesis were fulfilled and Putin did disappear into a sanatorium, I think he\u2019s the likely stand-in,\u201d said Dearlove, who served as head of the British Secret Intelligence Service from 1999 until 2004. \u201cAnd of course the stand-in [in] this scenario probably becomes permanent. I mean, you know there is no succession in the Russian leadership. They certainly don\u2019t succession-plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few weeks, speculation has swirled about Putin\u2019s health. He skipped a hockey game in which he had played for about a decade, and in one public appearance, he appeared bloated and was seen <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/19\/putin-seems-to-grip-table-during-meeting-amid-cancer-rumors\/\">clinging<\/a> to a table.<\/p>\n<p>In another report, an oligarch close to the Kremlin claimed Putin is \u201cvery ill with blood cancer,\u201d according to a secret recording <a href=\"https:\/\/newlinesmag.com\/reportage\/is-putin-sick-or-are-we-meant-to-think-he-is\/\">obtained<\/a> by New Lines Magazine.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vladimir Putin is suffering from \u201cseveral serious illnesses\u201d including cancer, but the Russian president will likely live \u201cat least a few more years,\u201d a Ukrainian intelligence chief claims in a new report.
