Richard Dearlove, the former head of Britain's intelligence service, MI6, has predicted that Russian President Vladimir Putin will leave power next year, noting that he will likely move to a medical facility in the coming months.
Recently, several rumors spread about Putin's ill health and suffering from either cancer, dementia, or Parkinson's disease.
Intelligence sources told the British newspaper, the Daily Mail, that the Russian president's illness may have affected his mentality and was the reason behind his "reckless" decision to invade Ukraine.
With Russia facing military and economic crises as a result of the invasion, ideas are heading in the Kremlin on how to replace another leader with Putin, smoothly and without the need for a military coup.
