Putin's Health In Question As Unverified Reports Claim He Was Found Lying On Floor After Cardiac Arrest

Russian President Vladimir Putin experienced a cardiac arrest on Sunday evening, as reported by various media outlets citing information from a Telegram channel known as 'General SVR.' This channel is purportedly managed by a former Kremlin insider. According to the channel's statement, Putin's security personnel discovered him lying on the floor of his bedroom at approximately 9 pm. Nearby was an overturned table with food and drinks.

It was suggested that when the president fell, he collided with the table and caused the dishes to crash onto the floor, creating a loud noise. Putin was seen writhing while lying on the floor, with his eyes rolling. Medical professionals stationed at the residence in an adjacent room were promptly summoned to his aid.

The statement from the channel, as reported by Mirror, explained that Putin was swiftly relocated to a specially equipped room within his residence. There, doctors administered resuscitation before transferring him to a dedicated intensive care unit situated in his official residence.

The channel reportedly claimed that Putin received timely assistance, his heart was successfully restarted, and he regained consciousness.

While these claims about Putin's deteriorating health have not been confirmed by the Kremlin, it has reportedly caused concern within the President's inner circle.

The unverified channel also asserted that all recent public appearances by Putin have been made by a body double.

"In recent times, all official meetings and events have been carried out by the president's double. Following news of the evening incident, several individuals close to Putin communicated with each other and agreed to hold consultations on Monday to discuss potential actions if the president were to pass away in the coming days," the statement said, as quoted by Mirror.

Since the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year, there have been multiple reports about Putin's declining health, whether due to cancer or Parkinson's disease. However, the Kremlin has consistently maintained that the Russian leader is in "good health."
