Dear subscribers and guests of the channel!
Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin visited Volgograd, where he took part in events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi troops in the Battle of Stalingrad.

The president did not have fun. By evening, #Putin was very tired and felt weak, doctors were invited to see him. After the next course of therapy, the president has not yet come into shape, and it is not yet clear whether he will come at all.
8/9

The last course of treatment was very difficult, and the doctors are still cautious about the prognosis. But, despite everything, the laurels of the winner, even if dying, beckon the twilight consciousness of the indecisive dictator.
