He definitely has some sort of movement disorder. Cancer? Who knows, here's the story at the Daily Mail (as if you couldn't tell from the 600 word headline), April 30:

The extraordinary claims appeared on popular Telegram channel General SVR, which says its source is a well-placed figure in the Kremlin.
General SVR reported that Putin has abdominal cancer and Parkinson's 18 months ago.
He has reportedly delayed surgery, which will now not take place before the Victory Day commemoration of Russia's World War Two victory in Red Square on May 9.
The news comes amid speculation Putin will launch an all-out war across Ukraine and order mass mobilisation of military-age men, a considerable political risk.
