 Generals against Putin. Why was the army moved to the south? The leaked Pentagon documents show that Russia's top general is conspiring to throw the war in Ukraine while President Vladimir Putin is getting chemotherapy. Classified documents from the Pentagon suggested that Russian National Security Council secretary Nikolay Patrushev and Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov have a plan to sabotage Putin while he's getting treatment for cancer. A Ukrainian source learned from a spy close to the Kremlin that Gerasimov and Patrushev planned to transfer Russian troops to the south to sabotage. This was supposed to happen on March the 5th when Russian President Vladimir Putin was supposed to start a course of chemotherapy. According to the idea, this would prevent him from influencing what is happening. These data confirm earlier rumors about the cancer of the Russian leader. However, in the end, Gerasimov abandoned these plans. The Kremlin is tight-lipped about Putin's health, but the rumor that he's got cancer is an old one. A constant presence in state media, Putin sometimes vanishes for long periods of time and outsiders have long speculated he's receiving treatment for cancer. He is 70 years old and Kiev's intelligence services have repeatedly said he's ill, but there's no concrete evidence to support the theory. The idea that Putin is sick and that there's fighting at the top levels of the Kremlin is a popular one in Western intelligence circles.
