Vladimir Putin slams NATO’s ‘unacceptable threat’ to Russia
The Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin’s declining state of mind is not a joke, according to those close to the president.
Putin’s health has been under the microscope in recent weeks amid reports that he is suffering from both abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s disease.
There has been no confirmation he is suffering from any illness.
But there are also fears he will use nuclear weapons imminently after he appeared Russia’s Victory Day parade in Moscow on Monday.
The Russian leader claimed the West was planning to invade his country as he sought to justify the war with Ukraine at the parade.

An oligarch close to Putin, 69, warned that there were serious worries about his state of mind and Russians fear what he will do next.
“They [Kremlin insiders] told me that Putin’s psychiatric health is bad indeed, and stories about him going bonkers are not a joke,” the source told The Sun.
“There is some really serious trauma there, with everyone scared of its consequences.”

The source added that insiders “told me that big business closely affiliated to power are sitting as quiet as mice because the emperor’s madness is real, and the nuclear strike’s threat is very real, too”.
It is understood that the oligarch is well-known in Russia and has been part of the Russian leader’s inner circle for several decades.
The oligarch is a well-known name in Russia, and he has known the Russian leader closely for many decades.

It comes as Vladimir Putin was accused of “mirroring” the actions of the Nazis by the UK defence secretary Ben Wallace as the Russian leader stages a military parade to celebrate victory over Hitler’s fascists.
Wallace will use a major speech to say that Putin and his inner circle should share the same fate as the Nazis, who ended up defeated and facing the Nuremberg trials for their atrocities.

In Moscow, Putin will watch the Victory Day parade of military hardware, marking the defeat of the Nazis in 1945.
But according to extracts briefed to the Telegraph and Times, Wallace will say: “Through their invasion of Ukraine, Putin, his inner circle and generals are now mirroring the fascism and tyranny of 70 years ago, repeating the errors of last century’s totalitarian regimes.”
He will add: “Their fate must also, surely, eventually be the same.”

Russia’s sacrifices in the past should not be forgotten, “but nor must the lessons about what lies in store for the perpetrators of such unprovoked brutality”.
In a message to Putin, he will say: “In going to such extremes to justify this war of choice he and his generals are now ripping up both Russia’s past and its future.
“Their unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine, attacks against innocent citizens and their homes, and the widespread atrocities – including deliberately against women and children – corrupts the memory of past sacrifices and Russia’s once-proud global reputation.”
