The Minister of the Chechen Republic for National Policy, Press and Information, Akhmed Dudayev, criticized those spreading information that the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, has disappeared from the public eye. In his Telegram channel, he expressed dissatisfaction with representatives of "near-journalistic circles", calling them "spineless creatures", "liberals" and "traitors to the people".

According to Dudayev, these informants "brazenly and shamelessly" try to convince their "limited audience" that Kadyrov does not appear in the information field. The minister decided to refute these rumors and "show opponents their lies and slander". He emphasized that Ramzan Kadyrov actively fulfills his duties on a daily basis, participating in working meetings, holding conferences and inspecting construction sites. In addition, he actively uses social networks and TV channels, while many important aspects of his work remain out of sight, Dudayev noted.

“Hitting the final nail in the coffin of these idiots, I want to emphasize that according to the official rating of the federal center, Ramzan Akhmatovich ranks first in efficiency among the heads of 89 subjects of the Russian Federation,” the minister added.

He also explained that the rating is based on 21 indicators, including the level of trust in the government and quality of life, and that the head of Chechnya has high levels of these indicators.

At the end of his video address, Dudayev called on some journalists to reconsider their “work strategy,” “pull themselves up” and “group up” in order to more effectively fulfill “orders from foreign masters.”

Earlier, a number of media outlets repeatedly reported that Ramzan Kadyrov’s health continues to deteriorate. It was noted that since the beginning of the summer, he has practically stopped appearing at public events.
