Chechen leader Kadyrov is in serious condition - media

Yusov said this in a comment to a Ukrainian media outlet.

"Yes, indeed, there is information that the war criminal Kadyrov is in serious condition and that his illnesses have worsened and led to such a serious condition," said the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Andriy Yusov.

According to Yusov, the information about the critical condition of the head of Chechnya is confirmed by various sources. He emphasized that it is not about injuries.

"The information is confirmed by various sources in medical and political circles. We are not talking about injuries. Other details require additional clarification. He has been ill for a long time, and we are talking about systemic health problems. But for the last few days he has been in a serious condition," the intelligence official said.

• On September 4, Vladimir Putin awarded Kadyrov's 24-year-old daughter, Aishat, with a medal "for many years of artistic activity" for her "merits in the development of national culture."
