Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly has thyroid cancer. The news was reported by the independent Russian media Proekt in a long investigation in which it reported the list of personal doctors who accompany the Russian president on his travels. “From the beginning of Putin’s first term, the Kremlin began to hide information on the health of the then young president, even when he fell from his horse, injuring his back,” the investigation read. “Elder Putin is now accompanied by a large team of doctors, including a surgeon who specializes in thyroid cancer,” says Proekt.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the news. Pravda reports on Twitter, citing what was reported by the former director of the Moscow Eco, Alexei Venediktov. “When asked: ‘Did I understand that Vladimir Putin doesn’t have cancer?’ Peskov replied: ‘yes’ “, wrote Venediktov on his Telegram channel.
