Unconfirmed reports are surfacing that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to undergo cancer surgery and will temporarily transfer his authority to Nikolai Patrushev, head of the Russian federal police’s Security Council, while he is undergoing the medical procedure.
What Happened: A Russian-language Telegram channel called "General SVR" first reported the news in a posting that is no longer online. The New York Post reported the channel is allegedly run by someone calling himself “Viktor Mikhailovich,” although the channel’s operator is reportedly a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service lieutenant general.
As of this writing, there has been no confirmation of this story from the U.S. Department of State or any independent entity outside of Russia.

The energy sector is set for a lower start, pressured by weakness in the crude complex and the major market futures. U.S. stocks fell and the dollar held near record highs as concerns about economic growth lingered ahead of an expected U.S. rate hike this week and data showed COVID-19 lockdowns have slowed down China’s factory activity.
WTI and Brent crude oil are down in early trading as concerns over weak economic growth in China overshadowed fears of a potential European ban on Russian crude which could increase supply constraints. As a result of ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns, China released data on Saturday showing that factory activity in the world's second-largest economy contracted for a second month to its lowest since February 2020.
