ALBAWABA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sparked a public outrage after his latest video in which he spoke about Russian President Vladimir "Putin's soon death".

Zelensky talked about the health of the 72-year-old president during an interview with journalists in Paris, France. Before speaking to the media, the Ukraine leader held a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

He said: "He (Putin) will die soon, and that's a fact, and it will come to an end."

Many questioned what the president was hinting at or whether the Russian President was a direct target for Ukrainian forces. However, Zelensky hinted at Putin's age and health.

In fact, rumors regarding the Russian President's deteriorating health have been always hitting major news outlets as some claimed that he had times when he appeared on camera with a pale face.

In addition, others added that Putin sometimes looked tremors with twitching legs, fuelling speculation that his health is becoming worse with time.

During Wednesday's interview, Zelensky also claimed that Moscow is attempting to 'hit the EU from within' nearby countries such as Hungary.

Macron vowed a $2.2-billion military aid package for Ukraine.
