BREAKING: Putin Hospitalized After Inhaling Unknown Substance — Russia on RED ALERT as Chaos Looms

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been rushed to a top-security hospital in Moscow after reportedly inhaling an unknown substance during a high-level security meeting early Monday morning, sources close to the Kremlin confirmed.

According to early reports, the 72-year-old leader began experiencing severe respiratory distress and dizziness shortly after the closed-door meeting began at the Kremlin complex. Security personnel and medical staff were immediately alerted, and President Putin was evacuated to the Central Clinical Hospital under heavy guard.

State media has remained largely silent, but a senior Kremlin insider, speaking under condition of anonymity, revealed that Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has launched a full-scale investigation into what officials are calling a “potentially targeted exposure.”

“We are treating this as a high-priority national security threat,” the official said. “All personnel and materials present in the room are currently under forensic analysis.”

As news of the incident broke, the Russian government declared a state of internal alert, placing key military units and strategic installations on RED ALERT status. Flights over central Moscow have been restricted, and additional troops have been deployed around key infrastructure.

International reactions have been swift, with NATO and UN Security Council members closely monitoring the situation. Western leaders are urging calm while preparing contingency plans in the event of political instability in the nuclear-armed nation.

At this time, President Putin’s condition remains officially “stable but critical,” though details are scarce. Rumors of factional disputes within the Kremlin and growing tensions among Russia’s power elite are fueling fears of a looming power struggle.
