Russian President Vladimir Putin's megalomania and 'moon-shaped' face are likely caused by hormonal drug treatment for cancer, head of Russia analysis at the Danish Military Intelligence Service says. He also suggests that this factor may influence what decisions the Russian leader makes.. This also applies to the decision to start a full-scale war, writes Berlingske.

This assumption also explains the unusual movements and postures of the Russian president..

Intelligence believes that now there is no mortal threat for Putin due to the disease, but he may have chronic pain.. Therefore, he, for example, reflexively grabs the table to reduce his pain..

Also, Danish intelligence does not see signs that the president may lose power..

Recall that the British Ministry of Defense draws attention to the fact that Vladimir Putin is already hinting to the military command of the Russian Federation about the common responsibility for the war against Ukraine.

This is evidenced by his visit to the Joint Headquarters of the Special Military Operation on December 16.

Analysts at the US Institute for the Study of War are of a similar opinion.. They believe that the Kremlin is now trying to disperse responsibility for the failed war.. This, in their opinion, is evidenced by the appearance in the information space of the head of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov with Kremlin narratives about the causes of the war..
