News about Ramzan Kadyrov

The Head of the Chechen Republic posted videos of himself at a gym along with his key acolytes, while another clip showed him chairing a meeting of his top commanders and officials. But the scenes only deepened suspicions that the 47-year-old autocrat - key Putin ally and backer of his war against Ukraine - is seriously ill as critics said he looked like a 'clown or a weakling'. Authoritative exiled newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe had reported Kadyrov is suffering from 'pancreatic necrosis'. Putin 'must now decide operationally how to maintain stability when the tough Chechen dictator is no more,' the report read.

According to local media, the Chechen government introduced the ban in an attempt to promote more traditional music and forms of dancing. Musa Dadaev, Chechnya's culture minister, said, "We must bring to the people and to the children's future the Chechen people's cultural heritage.' This includes a full range of moral and ethical norms of life for Chechens.' The latest generation of jazz, which starts at 80 beats per minute, is much slower than a lot of modern day pop music.

Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen warlord, is adding to his burgeoning army by adding another 3,000 former Wagner mercenary warriors, contributing to a growing presence in Russia under his personal command. In a tweet on Friday, Kadyrov referred to the recruitment of a new'regiment' as 'good news' as he said the fighters will soon begin 'accomplishing combat tasks'. From the messages, it was uncertain whether the'special forces' troops would be sent in Ukraine or used for some other cause. They might have a'significant effect,' Kadyrov said.

The four Russian nationals, identified as Dalerdzhon Mirzhon Mirzhon Mirzhon Mirzoyev, 32, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30, Shamsidin Fariduni, 25, and Mukhammadsobir Faizov, 19, were all exposed to brutal detention conditions, including severe injuries, and they appeared in a Russian court on Sunday. ISIS, which claimed responsibility for the attack twice, has reacted positively today, telling Putin that the images and videos of the torture have only increased the 'bloodlust for thousands of people'.' In a recent video (right), Russian troops were hunting down another terror suspect, who was attempting to flee from them by climbing a tree. The soldiers smashed his head against the ground repeatedly as they confronted him after they threw him to the ground.

ISIS-K, an offshoot of ISIS headquartered in Afghanistan, claimed responsibility for the attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue last week, backing up its assertion with a gruesome video showing how terrorists indiscriminately mowed down civilians with automatic weapons. According to ISIS-K, which aims to establish an Islamic caliphate spanning several Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries, the attack was part of 'the raging conflict between the Islamic State and countries combating Islam.' However, the group is just one of many Islamic militant organisations that have declared war on Russia. Russia is seen as responsible for the deaths of scores of Muslims, as well as Al-Qaeda's likes. MailOnline brings a collection of the most recent and deadly Islamic militant attacks in Russia.

Amaq, the ISIS' news service, has been sickened with a 90-second selfie video of the assault that is too graphic for MailOnline to post. The clip, which the terror group has described as 'exclusive scenes... of the bloody assault on Christians in Moscow's city of Krasnogorsk, begins with a terrorist carrying a knife into the main hall. 'Bring the machine gun,' the man who shot the video twice says.' ' 'They should be killed and have no compassion on them.'

The photo, which was distributed by ISIS' official news service Amaq, depicts the 'four perpetrators' in dark baseball caps and face masks pointing upwards, a sign that has long been associated with the terror group. According to foreign policy experts, the gesture refers to the tawhid, which is "the belief in the oneness of God." According to US intelligence, the attack was caused by ISIS-K, an ultra-violent offshoot of ISIS.

Three different men, who Moscow claims were responsible for the attack on Friday at the Crocus City Hall, were captured by what seems to be soldiers fighting for Russia, according to videos shared online. One of the perpetrators (right) is seen trembling on his knees, hands tied behind his chest, seemingly admitting to arranging the murder for compensation. He was reportedly filmed while being detained in a tree while attempting to escape to Ukraine, which has vehemently denied any involvement in the bloodbath.

According to sources, the defunct Russian military helicopter pilot who went down in Spain last week may have been tracked down due to his debauched lifestyle. After leaving Russia last year in a robbed Mi-8 helicopter and landing in Ukraine, Captain Maksim Kuzminov (main), 28, was discovered dead in an underground car park in Villajoyosa near Alicante on February 13. Spanish police are now probing whether the Russian mafia and intelligence services carried out a dramatic assassination after being aware of his whereabouts because of his suspected use of opioids, solicitation of prostitutes, and street brawling.

After a Russian defector pilot was shot down near Benidorm, a Kremlin hit squad is believed to be on the loose in Spain. Following what seems to have been a Kremlin-orchestrated attack, Captain Maksim Kuzminov (left) was discovered full of bullets in an underground car park in Villajoyosa near Alicante earlier this month. By fleeing his homeland last August with a stolen Mi-8 helicopter and landing it in a Ukrainian military airfield, the 28-year-old had become a target of Russian death squads. According to police reports, the pistol used to murder him was Russian and the move is thought to have been a 'calling card,' and it is likely he was killed by a Kremlin hit squad headquartered in Costa Blanca. According to a survey, the same hit team may have been blamed for Sergey Protosenya, 55, who was found hanged after allegedly murdering his wife and teenage daughter (right) with an axe as they slept in 2022.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the exiled oil tycoon, has warned that the ongoing attack will overthrowrown Putin's regime, and that 'unstable, nuclear-armed states' will be left in its wake. The Yeltsin-era oligarch warned that the breakup of the eastern European giant would be 'an enormous mistake,' because its nuclear arsenal would fall into the custody of 'local thugs' such as Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov. At the height of his Yukos oil empire, Khodorkovsky, 60, was worth $60 billion before Putin jailed him for suspected tax fraud in 2003. Following international human rights organizations' pressures, he was released ten years later.

In a suspected Russian sting, viewers across Crimea received a letter pledging to return Crimea to Ukraine from Ukraine's top intelligence chief, Lt-Gen Kyrylo Budanov, 37, whose wife Marianna was reported to have been poisoned with arsenic and mercury. 'I would like to say in particular in Crimea, Sevastopol, and all the occupied areas of our state's south and east, which are now occupied territories,' Zelensky said. "Ukraine will restore its territories, our people," he said. "Crimea will be recovered," Buanov, a Russian speaking in Ukrainian, said. We have crime as a nation.'

Kadyrov, who was up until a few days ago was reported to be 'critically ill' and in a coma by Ukrainian intelligence, was seen grinning as he met with his close friend Putin in Moscow.

In Moscow today, Vladimir Putin met with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, just days after the ruthless warlord showed a video of his son beating a Ukrainian being detained on suspicion of burning the Koran. Kadyrov, who had been forecast to be'critically ill' and in a coma by Ukrainian intelligence, was seen grining as he met with his close ally Putin in the Russian capital this afternoon. Kadyrov, 46, praised his 15-year-old son for beating up a prisoner accused of burning the Koran, a matter in which the Kremlin refused to comment. Adam Kadyrov, 15, was caught on tape pulverizing Nikita Zhuravel, 19, a native Ukrainian who was detained in a detention cell for reportedly displaying a copy of Islam's holy book alight.

Adam Kadyrov, 15, was caught on tape pulverizing Nikita Zhuravel, a native Ukrainian who was detained in a jail cell for reportedly burning a copy of Islam's holy book. While the beating has been discussed openly in Russian media for a month, video of the attack was shared by the brutal Chechen warlord on Monday, who praised his teenage son for the horrific incident

Since reportedly rushed from Moscow to his regional capital Grozny, nearly 2,000 miles away, to deal with serious kidney disease, the bloodthirsty Chechen leader, 46, was reportedly in a'critically ill' state. On Sunday morning, Kadyrov posted a video seemingly announcing that he was still alive on his Telegram channel.

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, Chechen warlord and close Putin ally Ramzan Kadyrov (pictured left, inset, and right with Putin) is 'critically ill.' According to unconfirmed reports, he is in a coma and kidney doctors have been rushed from Moscow to his regional capital Grozny to treat him.

During an appearance on the state-run television channel Russia-1, Lieutenant General Andrey Mordviche said he expects future conflicts with European countries. The Russian president's invasion in February 2022 sparked fears of a global conflict, with others advising that it was a precursor to a third world war. Although Ukraine has managed to pin Moscow's armies back in the east, Russian commentators have escalated their anti-NATO rhetoric, urging Putin and his generals to launch attacks on other European countries while disseminating pro-Kremlin propaganda to the Russian people and others in neighboring countries. Mordvichev's remarks however give some insight into what plans are being shared with Moscow's top-ranking military leaders, hinting that Putin intends to continue his war for years to come, perhaps even farther West.

Elkhan Suleymanov (seen left with Kadyrov), 49, a medical doctor who served as health minister and deputy premier of Chechnya, stopped posting to his 55,000 Instagram followers a year ago and hasn't been seen or heard from since. In addition, Kadyrov's wellbeing, which has sent tens of thousands of his troops to combat in Putin's Ukraine, has caused widespread concern in Russia, with reports that he blamed his former aide for his poor health and accused Suleymanov of poisoning him. According to some, he was buried alive.

Russian fighters from Dagestan clashed with a unit of Chechen troops under orders from the Republic's National Resistance Centre, a Ukrainian faction that assists in the coordination of pro-Ukrainian movements in occupied territory, according to a close Putin ally (pictured). A rift between the two groups, who met in Mykhailivka near Melitopol, led to some of the troops becoming embroiled in a fist battle. However, the scrap quickly spiraled out of control. According to NRC reports, one fighter was stabbed and the troops exploded immediately, unleashing deadly gunshots and even grenades.

On a work trip to Chechnya, a Russian republic run by close Vladimir Putin ally Ramzan Kadyrov, who previously referred to the reporter as a 'terrorist'. As they arrived in regional capital Grozny, Elena Milashina, 45, and counsel Alexander Nemov, who had been beaten in the past, were stopped by armed and masked men. According to reports, the pair were shot and had guns pointed at their heads, while Milashina's head was shaved and her fingers broken in an attempt to scar the brave journalist. In the vile assault, the reporter, who works for the now-banned independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, passed out several times and was doused in green dye. Milashina was presented with the International Women of Courage Award by Michelle Obama and John Kerry in 2013.

This past weekend, the 46-year-old bearded strongman and billionaire was suspected of being on death's door due to undisclosed health problems, which may have been liver or kidney related. According to reports, his discolored right hand on the video indicates he has undergone recent medical therapy. After being hit by a missile strike in Ukraine, Kadyrov is seen with Russian MP and close friend Adam Delimkhanov who was reported in mid-June to have been wounded in the conflict in Ukraine in mid-June. Although both live and well, none of them did well in the clip. 'We are still alive somehow,' Kadyrov said. 'Anyway, we don't want to live long.' We'll live a short but good life.' "We'll keep doing the jobs you have set for us," Delimkhanov told him.

Observers have referred to the Kremlin strongman's evolution over the years as potential evidence that he uses someone else to stand in for him on engagements that he does not want to make or consider is too risky. The rumors peaked overnight as Putin arrived in Derbent, southern Russia's Dagestan region, with a video demonstrating how the despot plunged into a nighttime crowd like a Hollywood actor on a red carpet. This is amid rumors that the Russian leader has been getting a sense of panic over Covid-19's capture and that he fears of being assassinated to the extent that he has no direct contact with those within his shrinking inner circle. The rumors were fueled by a recent photograph of Putin with Chechen Republic chief Ramzan Kadyrov, which showed the president with bloated and mottled skin. A video claiming that the 70-year-old is using body doubles went viral in March. MailOnline looks back on cases that have sparked rumors that the despot uses doppelgängers...
