The New York Post reports that the Russian president is being treated for cancer and is temporarily handing over power to Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, who is due to undergo surgery. According to the report, the doctors advised him to undergo surgery. The U.S. media quoted a Telegram channel as saying that a former Russian foreign intelligence service was being run by a lieutenant general. According to the report, Putin may have to step down for some time as part of his treatment.

Earlier, the media reported that Putin was often tired of appearing in public and had a number of age-related illnesses. Putin has also been reported to have Parkinson’s disease. But there have been no official reports from Moscow about the Russian president’s health.
The U.S. Defense Department has not been able to confirm the news. Pentagon spokesman John Kibby said they did not have any information on Putin’s health.

Meanwhile, it is reported that Putin had a detailed discussion with the Secretary of the Security Council a few days ago about going on leave. According to the report, Putin told Patroshev that the government’s responsibilities could be entrusted to him, and that the government would take full responsibility if his health deteriorated further.
At the same time, the Telegram channel says that Patrushev is more brutal than Putin and that if he comes to power, Russia’s problems will increase many times over. At the same time, the channel claims that Putin may not be willing to hand over power to Patroshev for a long time, and that he will only have two or three days for special duties.
Patroshev, who is close to Putin, has major responsibilities in the Russian Security Council. Putin is directing the council, which oversees matters including national security and military operations. Like Putin, he entered politics through the KGB, a Russian intelligence agency.
