Zelenskyy boldly claims Putin will die soon
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a striking and controversial statement concerning the health of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking during an interview in Paris, Zelenskyy confidently predicted that Putin “will die soon, and that’s a fact.”
The bold claim came shortly after Zelenskyy’s diplomatic meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in the French capital.
According to Zelenskyy, Putin’s death would bring an automatic end to the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war.
The full-scale war, which erupted in February 2022, has now lasted more than two years without any ceasefire.
Thousands of military personnel and innocent civilians have lost their lives since the beginning of the invasion.
Millions have been displaced from their homes, and entire communities have been devastated beyond recognition.
The conflict has triggered a global outcry, with multiple nations warning against the risk of a third world war.
Several countries and international organizations have called for peace, but diplomatic efforts have failed to produce results.
Zelenskyy’s comments introduce a dramatic tone to the already intense political and humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe.
He firmly believes that once Putin dies, Russia’s war ambitions will collapse, and peace will finally be restored.
Meanwhile, rumors about Vladimir Putin’s failing health have gained significant attention over the past few years.
The 72-year-old Russian President has exhibited signs that many believe indicate serious and possibly terminal illness.
Public observers and analysts have pointed out various physical symptoms during his recent appearances.
These include a swollen or puffy face, twitching legs, slurred speech, and what appears to be uncontrolled hand movement.
In a notable video from 2022, Putin was seen gripping a table awkwardly while addressing his defense minister.
His appearance in that footage raised questions and fed speculation about a secret health crisis.
Despite this, the Kremlin has denied all allegations, refusing to confirm any health-related issue.
Zelenskyy’s recent statement now reignites public and media attention to the matter.
Russia, in turn, has responded by officially listing Zelenskyy as a “wanted criminal” on its national database.
Ukraine has condemned this move, calling it a political stunt meant to provoke and distract.
Diplomatic ties between both countries have remained completely broken since the early months of the war.
There have been no direct talks between the two leaders regarding ceasefire or peace.
Both Zelenskyy and Putin have deliberately avoided bringing former U.S. President Donald Trump into any current negotiations.
Zelenskyy was previously involved in a tense White House meeting that ended with a public apology to Trump.
Putin, on the other hand, has refused to meet Trump or participate in any proposed ceasefire agreements.
This avoidance has sparked debates about the underlying motives behind Russia’s aggressive stance.
As the war continues, the global economy suffers disruptions, particularly in energy and food supply chains.
Western nations have imposed harsh sanctions on Russia, yet the war rages on with no end in sight.
Civilians in both Ukraine and Russia continue to endure unimaginable hardship, violence, and uncertainty.
Zelenskyy’s explosive claim may heighten discussions about a potential leadership change in Moscow.
Many believe that Putin’s removal from power—by death or otherwise—could be the only path to peace.
Until then, Ukraine and Russia remain locked in a brutal, expensive, and unpredictable conflict.
The world now watches and waits to see if Zelenskyy’s prophecy will reshape global politics.
