A post has appeared on the Chechen leader’s Telegram channel, saying that he is alive and well.
Ramzan Kadyrov’s Telegram channel has released a video showing the Chechen leader in a hospital, as speculation continues to mount over his health.
The Telegram post sought to dispel rumors that Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is seriously ill or even dead. Speculation about his health intensified last week when Ukrainian military intelligence spokesperson Andriy Yusov said that the Chechen leader had been unwell for a long time with systemic health problems.
Kadyrov « has been in a very serious condition for the past few days, » Yusov told Ukrainian outlet Ukrinform on September 15.
A post appeared on Kadyrov’s Telegram channel, saying that he is alive and well. He has been going to the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital to visit his uncle Khas-Magomed Kadyrov, who was undergoing treatment there.
