Vladimir Putin has "just years to live" due to his "rapidly progressing cancer", according to a Russian spy.
Russian despot Putin has been dogged by reports he is terminally ill and is reported to be suffering from cancer and Parkinson's Disease while a top oligarch has claimed he is "very ill with blood cancer,"
The spy claimed the diagnosis means the dictator has "no more than two to three years to stay alive" - while the cancer-riddled autocrat is also said to be losing his sight.
The sources told The Mirror: "We are told he is suffering from headaches and when he appears on TV he needs pieces of paper with everything written in huge letters to read what he’s going to say," he revealed.
"They are so big each page can only hold a couple of sentences. His eyesight is seriously worsening.
"And his limbs are now also shaking uncontrollably."
