Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly slipped down five stairs and soiled himself at his official residence in Moscow amid reports of his declining health.
Putin landed on his coccyx or tailbone during the fall at his residence, which caused him to “involuntarily defecate” due to the “cancer affecting his stomach and bowels,” a report in New York Post said quoting anti-Kremlin Telegram channel.

Although his security guards immediately rushed to his aid, the impact of the fall caused Putin to “involuntarily defecate” due to “cancer affecting his stomach and bowels,” the report said quoting the channel.
The news of Putin’s illness comes amid rumours claiming that the Russian President is suffering from worsening cancer and Parkinson’s disease.
“Three bodyguards helped the president get to the nearest couch and summoned medics, who are on duty at the residence,” the report added.
It further said that a special investigation has been carried out to determine the cause of the president’s fall.
Putin reportedly wears slip-proof shoes and the stairs in his official residence had been deemed safe.
Rumors about Putin’s alleged health woes have been rampant since the war with Ukraine began in February.
Earlier in November, viral photos on the internet showed strange marks and colour on Putin’s hands.
Retired British army officer and member of the House of Lords Richard Danatt then said that Putin’s health might not be good while users online claimed that the photos showed intravenous (IV) track mark.
