Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly suffered a cardiac arrest in his private Moscow apartment on Sunday evening, causing alarm within the Kremlin inner circle. According to reports from a Telegram Channel believed to be run by a former Kremlin insider, guards at Putin’s residence entered his apartment after hearing a loud crash. They found the 71-year-old leader lying on the floor next to his bed.
The Telegram Channel, identified as General SVR and reportedly managed by a former Russian lieutenant-general, detailed the incident in a post. “Security officers of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who were on duty at the residence, heard noise and sounds of falling coming from the president’s bedroom,” the post stated. “Two security officers immediately followed into the president’s bedroom and saw Putin lying on the floor next to the bed and an overturned table with food and drinks.”
The report further described Putin as convulsively arched while lying on the floor, rolling his eyes. Doctors were swiftly summoned and reportedly diagnosed Putin with a cardiac arrest. He was then moved to a special medical facility within the apartment, where he received intensive care, according to the same source.
The incident has fueled persistent speculation surrounding Putin’s health, adding to existing rumors about a long-hidden medical condition. The news of the alleged cardiac arrest sent shockwaves through the Kremlin inner circle and raised concerns about the future political landscape in Russia.
