Kadyrov published a video of a meeting with his son after reports of his hospitalization

Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video of a meeting with his son, Adam, today, amid reports that he had been in a car accident and taken to Moscow.

"Aide to the Head of the Chechen Republic and Secretary of the Security Council of the Chechen Republic, Adam Kadyrov, held a meeting with the commanders of the republic's security agencies, as per my instructions. The agenda included preparations for the upcoming elections, ensuring public safety during the elections, preventing extremism, and the work of Chechen Republic units in the special military operation zone," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Notably, journalists have expressed doubts about the relevance of the published video.

The previous day, it was reported that 18-year-old Adam Kadyrov was hospitalized after a car accident in Grozny and then flown to Moscow. According to media reports, an An-148-100EM aircraft, used by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations as a "flying hospital," landed from Grozny at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport last night.
