Vladimir Putin has fallen down the stairs at his official residence and soiled himself, according to a Telegram message.
According to the Daily Mail, a channel that claims to have links to his bodyguards has suggested.
The 70-year-old Russian leader, whose health has clearly deteriorated since launching his war in Ukraine, was injured on Wednesday evening when he slipped coming down stairs at his Moscow home, according to the General SVR channel.
Putin landed on his coccyx, fell five steps, rolled onto his side, and slid two more. According to the channel, the sharp impact caused him to ‘involuntarily defecate’ due to ‘gastrointestinal cancer.’
Since the start of the war, General SVR has posted updates on Putin’s health, though it has provided no evidence to back up its claims or proof that it does indeed have connections within his guards, according to the Daily Mail.
The channel wrote in its most recent post . “Putin stumbled and fell to his back, after which he fell on his side and slid down a couple of steps.
“The incident took place in front of the President’s bodyguards, who reacted quickly and rushed to Putin’s aid. Three security officers helped the President get to the nearest sofa and called the doctors who were on duty at the residence.”
The channel said that medics “arrived within a few minutes, but could not immediately examine the President”.
This was due to him suffering “oncology of the gastrointestinal tract, as a result of which he already experiences serious problems with digestion” – and the fall caused an “involuntary defecation”.
“Before the examination, the doctors escorted the President to the bathroom and helped to clean up.”
The report said: “After a complete examination, a bruise of the coccyx and soft tissues was diagnosed,” Daily Mail reported.
“Nothing critical was diagnosed and the bruising was treated with painkillers. An investigation is to be carried out into what provoked the ‘fall’,” it said.
