Statement that confused Russia: ‘Poisoned Kadyrov does not trust Russian doctors’

Chechnya’s leader, Ramazan Kadyrov, who was one of the biggest supporters of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, was claimed to have serious health problems.

According to the news quoted by the British newspaper DailyMail, Kadyrov, close to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, has recently been suffering from severe kidney pain and called a specialist doctor from the United Arab Emirates because he did not trust Russian doctors.

It was claimed that the Chechen leader, who feared he may have been poisoned, did not attend Putin’s meeting last month to mark the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. According to the news, citing Russian opposition sources, Kadyrov’s recent “bloated” state is also due to his treatment.

COMMANDER CECHEN WAS ALSO POISONED

Chechen commander Apti Aludinov, close to Kadyrov, 46, who supported the Russian army by sending Chechen militias to Ukraine and even advocated the use of nuclear weapons if necessary, was poisoned and hospitalized last month. It was claimed that there was an assassination attempt on the Chechen commander.

Kazakh journalist Azamay Maytanov claimed that Kadyrov, who has not been in public much recently, was also suffering from a serious illness, possibly the result of poisoning.
