Details: According to the outlet's source, Kadyrov arrived in the capital to take part in a meeting of the State Council chaired by Vladimir Putin. However, his health condition deteriorated sharply, and he was transported by an intensive care ambulance to the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation.

The State Council meeting took place without Chechnya's representative.

Quote from the source: "In Moscow, they barely managed to resuscitate him, after which he returned home and has not appeared in public since."

More details: It is reported that earlier this year, Kadyrov had already been hospitalised at a private clinic in Grozny. After that, his condition continued to worsen.

Kadyrov himself said that he experiences "nervous breakdowns" and a "constant feeling of tension", allegedly due to Chechen fighters participating in the war against Ukraine.

Background:

• Earlier, an investigation by Novaya Gazeta Europe reported that Kadyrov's health was significantly deteriorating, triggering a change of power in Chechnya.
• In May, Kadyrov stated that he had asked to be relieved of his position.
