Vladimir Putin may soon have to say goodbye to one of his main supporters. According to what was revealed by Novaya Gazeta Europethe president of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov would be affected by pancreatic necrosis acute, a terminal illness first diagnosed in 2019.

According to hospital sources, in 2023 Kadyrov would have been hospitalized for ainsufficiency pulmonary following a preoperative sedative overdose. Medical staff would hook him up to a ventilator and place him on induced coma. It also seems that in September his condition had stabilized, but according to what was reported by Novaya Gateza The MRI results have caused anguish among members of the “inner circle”mastiff of Putin.”

“The old leader will no longer be here, the disease has affected him seriously. Even if he recovers now, he will no longer be neither alive nor dead“, specified a source close to Kadyrov’s ally in Chechnya, Adam Delimkhanov. It seems that the situation is so serious that it has pushed the Kremlin to look for its own successor to avoid instability in the region. Potential candidates include the commander of special forces volunteers AkhmatMajor General Apti Alaudinov, recently appointed deputy at the Main Directorate for Military and Political Work of the Ministry of Defense.
