Media: Adam Kadyrov suffered a serious traumatic brain injury requiring long-term treatment

For over three weeks now, the condition of the Chechen leader's son, who was involved in a car accident, has remained a topic of numerous rumors, speculation, and unconfirmed insider reports, despite the lack of official comment.

In the first days after the accident, Ramzan Kadyrov's entourage indirectly attempted to deny the incident by publishing videos featuring Adam Kadyrov, which, as media outlets discovered, turned out to be "canned" (previously filmed), fueling even more speculation about his health.

The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports that Kadyrov Jr.'s condition is causing concern among doctors at Moscow's Botkin Hospital. According to the channel, he has a serious traumatic brain injury.

As noted in the publication, after an initial examination of the Chechen leader's son, it was believed that the spleen sustained the most damage as a result of the accident. The organ was restored through surgery. However, doctors are now concerned about the difficult-to-predict consequences of a head injury, so the patient's treatment could take months.

The Cheka-OGPU notes that when transporting Adam to a neighboring hospital building for examination, guards use special flash devices to prevent possible photography and video recording by other patients or doctors.

Earlier, the Chechen opposition movement NIYSO reported that Ramzan Kadyrov's third son suffered a broken jaw as a result of an accident and is forced to rely on a liquid diet.

As a reminder, according to media reports, on January 16, Adam Kadyrov's motorcade was involved in an accident in Grozny. The Chechen leader's son was first taken to a republic hospital and then transferred to Botkin Hospital in Moscow. It was also reported that approximately 20 of his close associates were injured. Official authorities have not yet provided any comment on this situation.
