The Ukrainian outlet NV recently reported on the prolonged public absence of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Rumors regarding his possible death have circulated extensively on Telegram channels. The analyst reviews available information, recalls earlier reports about Kadyrov's health issues, and mentions a version that he was hospitalized following a beach incident where he reportedly fell ill. Turkish intelligence services allegedly assisted in covering up the incident to avoid revealing his weakened state.
The media point out that Kadyrov's previous disappearances from public life have been linked to medical treatment or discussions regarding his family's fortune. At this time, there is no official confirmation of his death, although the topic is being actively discussed in the public and media space.
It is noted that such information is often concealed under authoritarian regimes, similar to previous cases involving Russian politicians. Society and the media remain cautious, awaiting official statements.
The article also highlights that Ursula von der Leyen met with Donald Trump to discuss potential sanctions against Russia and Putin. There are hopes for a tougher stance from the United States towards Russia.
The situation regarding Kadyrov remains unclear, with further official updates anticipated.
