File Photo: Putin’s hands appear to be turning black and may suggest he’s very ill. Putin’s health has long been the source of speculation. It comes as emails from a Russian intelligence source, confirm he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and pancreatic cancer. REUTERS

File Photo: Former UK Army chief Lord Richard Dannatt said that Putin’s “hands are looking pretty black on top, which is a sign of injections going in when other parts of the body can’t take injections.” Now Lord Richard Dannatt has said the strange marks and colouration seen on the back of the Russian tyrant’s hands could suggest he is receiving injections.

The ex-army chief’s comments come after images appeared to show IV marks in Putin’s hands.
