Russian President Vladimir Putin has been in power for a long time, and in order to extend and strengthen his grip on power, he recently passed controversial legislation. What is the claim? According to Mail Online, Vladimir Putin, 68, was reportedly suffering from Parkinson's disease and will resign in January next year.
Critics also claim that before stepping down, President Putin will seek life-long immunity through legislation so that no lawsuits can be filed against him once he leaves government. He will remain a senator and will continue to enjoy other benefits in addition to immunity. The critic's claim caused a stir, but a spokesman for President Putin dismissed the claim as baseless and stupid. The spokesman said Putin was in good health and had no illness.
