Kadyrov participates in Kremlin talks amid reports of deteriorating health

Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, is part of the Russian delegation at the talks between the presidents of Russia and the United Arab Emirates in the Kremlin, the only head of a Russian region, TASS reports.

During the official visit of UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, key areas of bilateral cooperation, investment projects, the development of trade, science, technology, and humanitarian contacts are being discussed. Particular attention is being paid to the current international agenda, including the situation in the Middle East and facilitating prisoner exchanges.

The visit includes a formal welcoming ceremony in the Kremlin's St. George's Hall, an official photo shoot, and the performance of both countries' national anthems.

As a reminder, various media outlets "bury" Ramzan Kadyrov almost every week, citing "personal sources," yet despite his noticeably ill appearance, he continues his public activities.
