<p>Is Russian President Vladimir Putin seriously unwell? In the past few months, several claims and counterclaims have been made over the alleged deteriorating health of Putin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, a recent report suggests that the Russian president is apparently battling Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer. Citing leaked Kremlin documents, the British tabloid newspaper The Sun reported that Putin is currently under medication.</p>

<p>The report, which has also been published by several media outlets, states that the Russian president is "regularly stuffed with all kinds of heavy steroids" in order to ease his battle with his disease.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report also attached videos and photos of the 70-year-old Russian leader, who has been routinely seen twitching and unsteady during several public appearances.&nbsp;</p>
