Kadyrov was absent from the Security Council meeting: the health of the Chechen leader has deteriorated sharply

Meeting of the State Council in Moscow

According to Главком: On December 25, 2023, a meeting of the State Council was held in Moscow under the chairmanship of Vladimir Putin. The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, was not present at the event due to a sharp deterioration in his health. Information about his condition was received the day before, on December 24, when Kadyrov arrived in Moscow.

On the night of December 24 to 25, 2023, Kadyrov's health deteriorated sharply, necessitating his transport to the hospital in an ambulance. Sources close to Kadyrov reported that he was barely resuscitated in Moscow, after which he returned home. Since then, Kadyrov has not appeared in public.

Health Issues

In September 2025, information about the deterioration of the health of the Chechen leader also emerged. Ramzan Kadyrov had previously noted that he experiences nervous disorders and a constant sense of tension, describing it as a state where one feels like 'sitting on a current.'

Kadyrov's absence from the State Council meeting may have a significant impact on the political situation in Chechnya and in Russia as a whole. As one of the key allies of the Kremlin, his health and activity play an important role in shaping the political landscape of the country. In case his condition continues to deteriorate, questions may arise regarding possible changes in the leadership of Chechnya and its impact on stability in the region.
