Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky shared a stunning prediction that notorious Russian leader Vladimir Putin will die soon.
Zelensky made the sensational prediction in an interview Wednesday when the Ukrainian leader also called on the U.S. not to bring Russia in from the global political wilderness amid ongoing peace talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.
“He will die soon, that is a fact, and everything will be over,” Zelensky told Eurovision News in Paris, according to a partial translation of the interview by the Kyiv Independent.
Putin hopes to “remain in power until his death,” Zelensky said, adding that the Russian leader seeks “a direct confrontation with the West,” per the Kyiv Independent.
Zelensky did not appear to go into detail as to why he thinks the 72-year-old Russian strongman may be nearing the end.
Speculation has swirled in recent years about Putin’s health, with rumors of his declining well-being gaining momentum since Russia invaded Ukraine. However, the Kremlin has been quick to refute such rumors due to the lack of concrete evidence.
Rumors have also swirled about Putin suffering strokes and Parkinson’s disease.
Zelensky’s comments come amid delegations from Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday agreeing to a ceasefire on energy infrastructure attacks and hostilities in the Black Sea following talks with Trump administration officials in Saudi Arabia.
