In May, there was immense speculation about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ill health. According to the Independent, an FSB (Russian Federal Security Service) officer had claimed that Putin is suffering from a "rapidly progressing cancer". He had also said that the 70-year-old Russian leader was suffering from headaches and his eyesight was fast deteriorating.


Amid talks of use of nuclear weapons in the Russia-Ukraine war, Putin said that Russia hasn't mentioned using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Instead, he claimed that Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, could create and detonate a "dirty bomb".
