President Vladimir Putin’s grip on power is fading, and he has to take regular breaks for medical treatment, according to former British spy Christopher Steele.
“Our understanding is that there’s increasing disarray in the Kremlin and chaos,” Steele said in an interview with British talk radio station LBC on Wednesday.
Steele is a former MI6 operative who worked for many years in Russia, including heading up the spy agency’s Russia desk for three years.
He told LBC: “There’s no clear political leadership coming from Putin, who is increasingly ill, and in military terms, the structures of command and so on are not functioning as they should.”
