Russian president Vladimir Putin has reportedly slipped down five stairs and soiled himself at his official residence in Moscow, amid speculation about the 70-year-old's declining health. The New York Post reported Vladimir Putin's fall quoting a Telegraph Channel that claimed that the Russian leader landed on his coccyx or tailbone during the fall, which caused him to "involuntarily defecate" due to the "cancer affecting his stomach and bowels".

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a very difficult day, which ended quite dramatically. Wednesday morning began for Putin with a depressing report on the state of the Russian economy and, as a result, a forecast of worsening the situation in the near future. The sanctions imposed on Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine have a heavy impact on the country's economy and the effect of these sanctions is growing and intensifying over time. The main problems in the Russian economy, according to the forecasts of the authors of the report, will come in the period of late spring - early summer of next year, and it is not possible to avoid a negative scenario today. It should be noted that the forecast was made without taking into account the possible announcement of general mobilization in the country and martial law, which Vladimir Putin has in his plans, which undoubtedly only worsens the forecasts.
In the afternoon, Putin was upset by the news from the front. Promises by the leadership of the military bloc to capture several settlements before the start of winter, including Bakhmut (called Artemovsk in reports to Putin) in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, were not realized. Moreover, yesterday the leadership of the military bloc was not ready to guarantee the president a significant advance on any sector of the front before the New Year. Putin was informed that the cold snap, which is predicted for early December in the Luhansk region, could be used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for an offensive, and in this case, it would be very problematic to keep territories in the north-west of the region.
In the evening, Putin had a telephone conversation with President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The conversation touched upon plans for the future and the development of joint projects. No agreements were reached as a result of the conversation, or rather, they agreed to negotiate.
Truly dramatic events for Putin took place in the evening at his residence. Going down the stairs, Putin stumbled and fell to the fifth point, after which he fell on his side and slid down a couple of steps. The incident took place in front of the president's bodyguards, who quickly reacted and rushed to Putin's aid. Three security officers helped the president to get to the nearest sofa and called the doctors who are on duty at the residence. Medics arrived within a few minutes, but could not immediately examine the president. Putin suffers from oncology of the gastrointestinal tract, as a result of which he already experiences serious problems with digestion, and as a result of the fall, as it turned out, the main blow fell on the coccyx, which probably caused sharp pain, provoking involuntary defecation. If Putin used to wear special waterproof underwear with an absorbent effect, then recently he neglects these precautions, as it turned out in vain. Before the examination, the doctors escorted the president to the bathroom and helped to clean up, and at the same time conducted an initial examination. After a complete examination and examination, a bruise of the coccyx and soft tissues was diagnosed. Nothing critical, the president's health was stable closer to the night, he can move independently, complaints of pain in the coccyx when sitting are the only thing that worries Putin. At night he took painkillers. In the near future, an investigation will be carried out, which provoked the fall of the president. He wears special shoes, even at home with anti-slip surfaces, and the stairs in the residence are considered "safe". As it turns out, all precautions are in vain when nerves go to hell.
