A shocking allegation was made by the Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, regarding the alleged health of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The intelligence official claimed that Putin has terminal cancer and believes he will die in the near future, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Putin, 70, has been rumored to be in deteriorating condition for some time now. His unsuccessful invasion of Ukraine coupled with recent allegations from Ukraine's intelligence agency paint a grim picture for the Kremlin leader.
Kyrylo Budanov discussed the 70-year-old's health and the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict with ABC News on January 4.
When asked if Putin's cancer was terminal, the chief intelligence official quickly replied, "of course."
"He is ill long period," Budanov said. When asked if the alleged terminal illness would result in Putin's death sooner than later, Budanov responded, "I think very fast. I hope."
It has been speculated that Putin has Parkinson's and cancer — and the Ukraine intelligence official provided insight into what he believes to be cause for Putin's alleged quickly failing condition.

"We think it's cancer," Budanov stated. "We know it from human sources' that are close to Putin."
When questioned on a potential transfer of leadership should Putin succumb to his alleged cancer, Budanov stated that he believed one of Putin's cronies would take over.
"This war should be ended before [Putin] is dying," Budanov added.
Other sources close to the Kremlin have echoed Budanov's claims that Putin has been in severe ailing condition for some time now.
Over the past couple of months, Putin has missed meetings and scheduled appearances. The Kremlin denied allegations that health issues were at play.
Last month, Putin decided to cancel a planned trip to the city of Pskov. Kremlin officials stated the reason for the cancellation was "unfavorable flying conditions," however, weather forecasts for the same time period indicated clear skies.
Putin also canceled his traditional December press conference, where he was expected to speak for multiple hours and answer questions from reporters.
