‘Vladimir Putin will die soon’ 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘will die soon’, believing it will bring an end to the ongoing war between their countries. 

Zelensky made these remarks during an interview with European journalists on March 26 in Paris, amid persistent rumours about Putin's health. 

“He [Putin] will die soon, and that’s a fact, and it will come to an end,” Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian leader’s blunt assessment follows years-long rumors about the Russian strongman’s health woes — including reported strokes, multiple bouts of cancer and even Parkinson’s disease.

The statement is a bold one, given the ongoing conflict and the sensitivity surrounding the health of world leaders. 

Zelensky offered up the prediction, too, as he pleaded with the US to “stay strong” — and not cave to the Kremlin’s demands during ongoing peace and cease-fire negotiations.
