The Ukrainian said the Kremlin leadership change was already being planned and anticipated an alleged coup d’état to remove Putin from power.
Budanov further predicted that the war in Ukraine should end only at the end of the year.
The state of health of the Russian president has become one of the big questions amid the war in Ukraine. Recently, independent Russian media Proekt said that he was facing thyroid cancer after a long investigation. However, the Kremlin denied the rumors about the alleged illness.
In addition, an intelligence report from the Pentagon and Ukraine, cited by the international press, had already reported that Putin had terminal cancer, but of the intestine. However, no speculation has been confirmed.
