Vladimir Putin set to vanish for cancer surgery, mystery Russian Telegram account says
Vladimir Putin may soon vanish for a period as he is due to undergo surgery linked to cancer, according to a new claim.He has allegedly secretly nominated his hardline security council security secretary Nikolai Patrushev - a former KGB counterintelligence officer - to take “control” of Russia while he is incapacitated.
Shadowy Patrushev, 70, is seen as a key architect of the Ukrainian war strategy and the man who convinced Putin that Kyiv was awash with neo-Nazis.
The extraordinary unconfirmed claims come from General SVR Telegram channel, which first raised issues of Putin’s health - including abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s - some 18 months ago.
They come amid speculation that Putin will announce all-out war in Ukraine, and order mass mobilisation of military-age men. Such a move would be seen as high-risk since many may refuse to fight.
It is suggested Putin, 69, has already delayed surgery, which is now unlikely to take place before he presides over the grandiose Red Square 9 May Victory Day commemoration of the defeat of Hitler.
The surgery had been scheduled for the second half of April but was delayed, it was claimed.

It's not gonnae be easy for the people to do anything in Russia. The regime does not have any qualms to strangling a revolt in its cradle in whichever way it takes, and unlike Libya, no one is going to enforce a no fly zone over Russia, for example. Yet, if the status quo is to change in Russia, it will have to be them to do it single-handedly. Even then, it may all be futile. I suspect that the 'gentleman' Russian politician/s with whatever it takes to make true democracy work in Russia is nothing but a pipe dream.
Alas...

Russian President Putin Health Rumours & Truth Analysis
Former member of the United Kingdom’s Parliament Louise Mensch shared a link to an essay she authored earlier this month. She hypothesized that Russian President Vladimir Putin might be disguising a health condition.
Putin’s behavior throughout the meeting has drawn notice; besides being seated in the corner of the table throughout, he seemed to be slumped in his chair and lacking in enthusiasm.
The conversation brought up that the two were discussing Mariupol, which is under siege in Ukraine.
If I was doing a meet concerning my fellow country men fighting and dying in a war, would I be full of beans and look all chirpy and happy?
Definitely not.

A better question may be "does Putin believe in karma"?
Take this with a few pinches of Sodium-Cloride!
