Putin Death Speculation Escalates: Major Public Appearance Canceled by Kremlin Amid Suspected Heart Attack Concerns Involving Russian Leader.
Speculation surrounding the alleged demise of Vladimir Putin has grown more intense following the sudden cancellation of an upcoming appearance the Russian leader was slated to make in Moscow, as reported by RadarOnline.com. This follows reports of Putin, aged 71, purportedly passing away due to a severe heart attack on October 22.
Kremlin officials have declared that Vladimir Putin will not attend the previously anticipated opening of Russia’s Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy on November 4. Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, mentioned that although he won’t be present at the opening, he will review it in some manner, emphasizing the exhibition’s significance and the substantial effort invested in it. Curiously, the exhibition is situated just about 30 minutes from Putin’s official Moscow residence, which has given rise to fresh inquiries about the Russian leader’s health and has fueled further speculations regarding his recent demise.
The rumors surrounding Putin’s alleged death at the age of 71 began with claims from the Russian Telegram channel General SVR. This channel, purportedly managed by a former Kremlin official, asserted that Putin passed away from a reported heart attack on a Sunday night, simultaneously suggesting that an “attempted coup” was unfolding in Moscow.
The Russian Telegram channel, General SVR, issued a startling message on Wednesday, declaring, “Attention! There is currently an attempted coup in Russia!” It further claimed, “Russian President Vladimir Putin died this evening at his residence in Valdai.” The channel asserted that at 20.42 Moscow time, doctors ceased resuscitation efforts and declared Putin’s death, adding that the president’s doctors were supposedly confined in the room with his lifeless body by members of the presidential security service.
In response to these claims, Dmitry Peskov released a statement vehemently refuting the rumors regarding Putin’s alleged demise. Peskov labeled the reports as “absurd information canard” and “fake news,” emphasizing that they fall under the category of false information discussed with unwavering persistence by various media outlets.
General SVR previously claimed that the Russian leader experienced a “horrific” heart attack in Moscow late on a Sunday night. As per the rumors, Putin was purportedly in a “stable but serious condition” following the alleged heart attack, and the Telegram channel indicated that the president’s doctors were not optimistic about the possibility of a recovery.
General SVR described the actual Putin as situated in a room within an intensive care ward at his residence, connected to monitoring equipment that tracks his vital signs. They mentioned that after the cardiac arrest on Sunday evening, the attending doctors assessed the Russian President’s condition as stable but serious, with a lack of optimism regarding the prospects for recovery.
