Over the past three days, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has denied reports of health problems three times. He called the circulated information "fake news" and stated that he does not require hospitalization or medical attention.
On January 14, Kadyrov broadcast live from the village of Benoi, where he reported feeling well and having no internal organ problems.
"I swear by God, I have no pain in my kidneys, liver, spleen, or stomach. The only thing is, I can't stand black pepper, but everything else is fine. I have enough strength," he stated.
Earlier, state television showed a video of the Chechen leader driving a car.
On January 12, Kadyrov also denied rumors about his health at a meeting with officials, emphasizing the need to combat disinformation online. He mentioned rumors circulating about kidney failure and treatment in Moscow. These statements followed reports in Ukrainian media citing a source in the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of Ukraine about Kadyrov's serious condition and kidney failure.
