Chechen side disproves via video, Ukraine claims Chechen leader Kadyrov is critically ill
On September 15th local time, the Ukrainian National Security Agency stated that Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation, is currently in a critical condition due to his serious illness. However, Kadyrov's assistant released a video of Kadyrov taking a walk with his family, and the Chechen leadership also refuted the Ukrainian side's claim.
Ukrainian National Security Agency spokesperson Yusov claimed on the 15th that there were reports that Kadyrov's condition was severe. "His current illness has worsened, causing his condition to be so severe."
Earlier, sources in Chechnya reported that Kadyrov had fallen into a coma and was waiting to be transferred from Chechnya to a foreign country for treatment.
Yusoff did not provide detailed information on Kadyrov's health issues. He claimed that Kadyrov's problem was not caused by injury, but rather that his health was deteriorating. "He has been sick for a long time and it is a systemic health issue. But his condition has been very serious in the past few days."
Yusoff claimed that information about Kadyrov's health status has been confirmed by multiple medical and political sources.
It is worth noting that rumors about Kadyrov's deteriorating health have been circulating for several months. In March of this year, Kadyrov laughed off these speculations in a post on the social media platform Telegram.
Kadyrov said, "For those who want me to be terminally ill, I apologize for making you feel uneasy."
However, just after the Ukrainian side released relevant news, Kamarov's assistant Omar Dadov posted a video of Kamarov taking a walk with his family on social media
"The evening walk marks a perfect end to having dinner with family. Friends, seize these happy moments. Take time to care more about your family. Stay away from the noise, take a break, and please them and yourself," Dadoff wrote on social media when posting the video.
In addition, the Chechen leadership has denied any claim that Kadyrov's health condition has deteriorated.
