<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin will reportedly undergo a medical operation for cancer, forcing him to temporarily hand over power to a former Federal Security Service (FSB) intelligence chief.</p>
<p>Nikolai Patrushev, the current Secretary of the Security Council of Russia, will receive temporary control from Putin during his upcoming operation, according to a <a href="https://t.me/s/generalsvr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> posted Saturday on the General SVR Telegram channel, a Russian outlet that claimed to interview a former <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/vladimir-putin-set-undergo-cancer-26838452" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kremlin military leader</a>. The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/02/vladimir-putin-to-undergo-cancer-surgery-transfer-power/">described</a> the source as &#8220;mysterious.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Putin is unlikely to agree to hand over power for a longer period of time,” the video stated, also adding: &#8220;I will say that this is the worst option. Patrushev is an outright villain. He is no better than Vladimir Putin. Moreover, he is a more cunning, and I would say, more insidious person than Vladimir Putin. If he comes to power, Russians’ problems will only multiply.&#8221;</p>
<p>Putin&#8217;s health condition has been the focus of much speculation recently as videos have shown shaking movements some have suggested could be a sign of Parkinson&#8217;s Disease. The man Putin will hand temporary power over to is a former head of an organization considered the modern-day KGB.</p>

<p>While details are sparse, the video hosted on the Telegram account suggested abdominal cancer.</p>
<p>At a church service in Moscow last month, Putin appeared to be unsteady and fidgety, at times biting his lips and making awkward faces.</p>
<p>“Fresh theories surrounding Vladimir Putin’s health are circulating after a recent appearance by the Russian president showed him biting his lips, fidgeting and appearing unsteady,” Sky News <a href="https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/global-affairs/video-of-unsteady-vladimir-putin-fuels-rumours-about-secret-ailing-health/video/a1333f1bdef264e4ee7789ae6a4ed3f6">reported</a>. “Mr Putin’s appearance at a church service has now sparked rumours that he is unwell after he seemed unable to stand still during the service.”</p>
<p>Putin’s appearance followed another recent episode when the 69-year-old appeared bloated as he firmly gripped a table during a Kremlin meeting with his defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/putin-fidgety-unsteady-at-church-service-sparking-more-concerns-about-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Both men appeared to be in poor health, with Shoigu slurring his words following a stroke he suffered earlier this year.</p>
<p>Putin is also reportedly delaying surgery until after May 9.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;He has reportedly delayed surgery, which will now not take place before the Victory Day commemoration of Russia&#8217;s World War Two victory in Red Square on May 9,&#8221; the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10770541/Putin-cancer-operation-near-future-hand-power-hardline-ex-KGB-chief.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;The news comes amid speculation Putin will launch an all-out war across Ukraine and order mass mobilisation of military-age men, a considerable political risk,&#8221; the report added.</p>
<p>Explosions in an area of Moldova last week have led to new concerns that Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine could extend to the nearby former Soviet republic.</p>
<p>&#8220;On Monday, explosions rocked the headquarters of Transnistria’s state security ministry in Tiraspol. These were followed by more blasts on Tuesday at a broadcasting facility when two radio masts near the border with Ukraine were knocked out of service, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/turmoil-transnistria-might-putin-want-moldovan-breakaway-region-rcna26458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Friday.</p>
<p>&#8220;The region’s authorities also reported an attack on a military unit, but did not say when it took place. On Wednesday, they said shots were fired toward a village that houses a large ammunition depot,&#8221; the report added.</p>
