The war leader from Chechnya and one of the close associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin, suffers from a serious kidney problem and it was feared that he had been poisoned. The Chechen minister of war refuses to call Russian doctors because of fears of deliberate poisoning
The leader of the Chechen Republic is suffering from “severe kidney problems”, a specialist surgeon from the United Arab Emirates was seen in the capital city of Grozny. Journalists from the opposition posted on Telegram that their sources told them that Ramzan Kadyrov was sick and experiencing “symptoms of poisoning”. The Chechen leader is a pro-Russian leader of the war in Ukraine, and has sent thousands of soldiers to fight in Ukraine.
Ramzan Kadyrov brought the UAE’s chief nephrologist and kidney specialist to Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, for treatment, Kazakh journalist Azamat Maitnov reported. Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechen Republic since 2007, chose a doctor outside the region because of the fear that he was poisoned and therefore does not trust the doctors in Moscow. “There is information that the chief nephrologist of the United Arab Emirates, Dr. Yassin Ibrahim Al-Shahat, a well-known doctor with 30 years of experience, has arrived in Grozny (the capital of Chechnya),” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
“Kadyrov is very ill and has serious kidney problems,” Maytenov wrote. Last September, he called on Russia to use low-yield nuclear weapons against Ukraine and Putin promoted him to colonel general in Russia’s National Guard the following month, the Kyiv Independent reported in October, calling it a “great jihad.”
Rumors that Kadyrov was poisoned come after he said one of his top generals was poisoned by a poison canister last month, Newsweek reported. Kadyrov wrote in Telegram that General Efti Alaudinov was poisoned by a letter that had a strong smell last February 8, the Chechen warlord called the incident an “assassination attempt”. Alaudinov has since recovered.
The Russian-Israeli businessman who fled Russia, Leonid Nevzlin claimed that the report was true, he told the British media: “My sources confirm it,” he said. “Kadyrov is being treated in the United Arab Emirates, and when he is in Grozny for a short time, he is specially visited by a nephrologist from Abu Dhabi.
“Kadyrov clearly does not trust Russian doctors, there are reasons for that, my sources say that kidney problems are a symptom of poisoning and that is what Kadyrov is afraid of.” The Chechen leader’s luxury private jet has reportedly made several recent trips to the United Arab Emirates, and has been seen less than usual in recent weeks.
