Zelenskyy Predicts Putin's Imminent Death as Speculation on Russian Leader's Health Grows

The Ukrainian president links Putin's alleged declining health to the potential end of the war, while warning against easing global pressure on Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin 'will die soon,' suggesting this could lead to the end of the Ukraine war.
Speculation about Putin's health continues, with unconfirmed reports suggesting he may suffer from Parkinson's disease, cancer, or neurological disorders, though the Kremlin denies these claims.
A U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement has paused Black Sea hostilities, but Zelenskyy has criticized concessions, including the lifting of some Western sanctions on Russia.
Zelenskyy has urged the United States not to assist Russia in escaping global isolation, calling such actions dangerous during ongoing peace negotiations.
Discussions between Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron focus on bolstering Ukraine's military and exploring potential European troop deployments as part of a peace deal.
