Chechen warlord 'is seriously ill with kidney problems' as he fears that he has been poisoned.

Kadyrov was poisoned by the GRU, sources claim

People have noticed Kadyrov’s surprising absence from Vladimir Putin's state of the nation speech in Moscow last month and his 'bloated' appearance at the recent meetings in his palace in the Chechen capital Grozny. The reason behind them may have been found.

Several opposition sources’ claim Kadyrov may have been poisoned and is suffering from a kidney illness.

The Chechen leader's luxury private jet was known to have made several trips recently to the UAE, and he has been less visible than usual in recent weeks.

Kazakh journalist Azamat Maytanov citing his own sources claimed Kadyrov may be terminally ill, with poisoning the possible cause.

Maytanov wrote on his Telegram channel:

There is information that the chief nephrologist of the UAE, Dr Yasin Ibrahim El-Shahat, a well-known doctor with 30 years of experience, has arrived in Grozny [the capital of Chechnya]. His area of expertise lies in nephrology, dialysis, transplantation, glomerulonephritis, and acute renal failure. Kadyrov is allegedly very bad and has serious kidney problems.

Exiled Kremlin foe Leonid Nevzlin echoed the claims, suggesting that ‘Kadyrov clearly does not trust Russian doctors’.

Not the first poisoning in Russia

Kadyrov - reportedly a father of 14 with three current wives - has strongly attacked the running of the war in Ukraine, especially by the Russian defence ministry and certain generals.

He had 'made too many enemies among the generals who have access to the GRU's developments', sources claim.

The GRU is Russian military intelligence, held responsible for poisoning double agent Sergei Skripal in Britain in 2018.

Putin's FSB has also carried out poisoning attacks, for example on opposition leader Alexei Navalny in 2020, in Siberia, and foe Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006.

Just last month a similar fate reportedly befell Kadyrov’s close ally Major-General Apti Alaudinov.

Alaudinov, the commander of the Akhmat special forces and a frequent guest on Russian state television, picked up a letter that contained a substance with a strong smell on February 8 and ended up being treated in a hospital in Moscow together with two aides.

Chechen warlord commented then that ‘an investigation of the assassination attempt, identifying those involved’ was underway.
