Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sent a message to Russian President, Vladimir Putin.
According to Zelenskyy, Putin “will die soon”.
His comments come amid rumours that the Russian leader is battling poor health.
Zelenskyy stated this during a sit-down interview with journalists in Paris following a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday.
He said: “He (Putin) will die soon, and that’s a fact, and it will come to an end.”
Despite his attempts to put up a brave face in public, Putin has long faced rumours that he suffers from health issues.
In recent years the 72-year-old has appeared to have a puffy face, a twitching leg and blood-shot eyes, which has only fuelled the speculation more.
One particular famous incident in 2022 stands out, in which Putin slouched in his chair while gripping a table and slurring his words during a meeting with then-Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
There have also been reports of him coughing incessantly, and his hands and feet making seemingly involuntary jerky movements.
On several occasions, he appeared to walk with a limp.
