The 48-year-old “wardog” governs Chechnya and has faced accusations of human rights abuses, including involvement in kidnapping and torture.
Reports indicate he traveled to the Russian capital for a meeting of the State Council, chaired by Putin.
However, the health of the Chechen leader declined significantly, leading to his transport by ambulance to the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation.
Relations between Putin and Kadyrov have become strained following alleged clandestine meetings between Kadyrov and Middle Eastern officials.
Local media has reported that the Chechen leader initiated “unsanctioned discussions” with representatives from various Middle Eastern nations regarding his assets and family matters—without Moscow’s consent.
Earlier this year, it was reported that the Chechen leader was “preparing to flee Russia” after appointing his son to oversee the police.
