Adam Kadyrov, wearing the rank of major, made his first public appearance since the accident

Adam Kadyrov, the 18-year-old son of the head of Chechnya, made his first public appearance since reports of a possible car accident involving him in mid-January. Ramzan Kadyrov dismissed earlier reports of the accident and Adam's injuries, including a spleen removal, a broken jaw, and the need for a strict diet, as "fakes."

The footage was published on the Chechen leader's Telegram channel. In the video, his son attends a meeting of the republic's Security Council, which he has chaired since April 2025. In his speech, Adam Kadyrov read a report on events held during Ramadan (February 17 to March 19, 2026). His shoulder straps were adorned with medium-sized stars, possibly indicating his military rank of major.
