Vladimir Putin fell down a flight of stairs and soiled his pants earlier this week, prompting more rumors about his deteriorating health, according to a Telegram channel that claims to have sources close to the Russian president.<\/p>\n
The 70-year-old leader reportedly took the tumble at his official residence in Moscow Wednesday night, according to the Telegram channel General SVR, which is allegedly operated by an ex-Russian spy. The account said Putin, whose health has been the subject of speculation since he ordered the Russian army to invade Ukraine in February, fell down five steps and landed on his tailbone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree bodyguards helped the president get to the nearest couch and summoned medics, who are on duty at the residence,\u201d the report claimed. \u201cNothing critical, the president\u2019s condition closer to nighttime was stable, he can get around on his own, with pain in the coccyx area while sitting being the only thing that bothers him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Putin has appeared bloated and shaky in numerous videotaped meetings over the last year, often gripping his chair or a table in an apparent bid to steady himself. Some Kremlin watchers have attributed Putin\u2019s puffy appearance to cancer treatments, although Moscow has not confirmed any health issues besetting the KGB agent-turned strongman.<\/p>\n
General SVR claimed that the fall caused Putin to \u201cinvoluntarily defecate\u201d due to \u201ccancer affecting his stomach and bowels.\u201d The report also said a special investigation was being conducted to determine why Putin, who reportedly wears special shoes designed to keep him steady, had fallen.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Putin was seen touring a science facility in Moscow, none the worse for wear.<\/p>\n
