John Lough: 关于普京健康状况的传闻很多,其中包括患有某种癌症的传闻。虽然他有时会从公众视野中消失一段时间,但他似乎仍在有效地履行总统职责。有迹象表明,在某些公开场合出现的人可能是普京的替身。尽管如此,普京仍然能够进行长时间的公开露面和活动,这表明他的健康状况可能并没有人们想象的那么糟糕。在新冠疫情期间,普京与其他官员保持了很大的距离,这可能是出于健康方面的考虑。此外,他面部的一些变化,例如浮肿的脸颊,也可能是医疗干预的结果。总的来说,关于普京健康状况的许多说法都属于推测。我从可靠的俄罗斯消息来源获悉,普京可能确实有一些潜在的健康问题,但这似乎不会很快危及他的生命。普京在新冠疫情期间的经历可能影响了他的思维方式,并导致了他对乌克兰问题的过度关注。普京对乌克兰发起的全面入侵是一个非同寻常的举动,这与他以往的谨慎决策风格不符。 Toby Gillis和Alex Deville: 我们不知道普京是否很快会死,关于他的健康有很多猜测。泽连斯基总统声称普京即将死亡。 Vladimir Zelensky: 普京即将死亡。
