According to a media report citing intelligence sources, Russian President Vladimir Putin may be suffering from dementia, Parkinson's disease, or 'roid rage' as a result of steroid treatment for cancer.

As per Daily Mail, senior figures in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which includes Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, believe there is a physiological explanation for Russian President Vladimir Putin's universally hated decision to invade Ukraine.

The intelligence community is exchanging an increasing number of reports concerning 69-year-old Putin's "increasingly unpredictable behaviour," as well as his bloated appearance in recent footage and the ludicrous distance he insists on keeping from visitors to the Kremlin. "Only human sources can give you the kind of deep picture of Putin's mentality that we have," a security source said.

Over the last five years, there has been a discernible shift in his decision-making. Those who know him see a significant shift in the cogency and clarity of what he says and how he perceives the world." The lack of a "negative feedback loop," according to the source, was exacerbating the Russian commander's inability to think properly, with the Russian leader "just not being briefed" on components of the invasion's failures.
