Chechnya's strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov has raised and dismissed a rumor about Russian President Vladimir Putin's health.
In an audio recording posted Wednesday to his Telegram social media channel, Kadyrov said that he had "read that our president had fallen into a coma" and that "they are looking for a replacement right now."
Since Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, there has been much speculation about whether the Russian president is ill. Scenes of him gripping the edge of a table on April 21 during a meeting with his defense minister Sergei Shoigu added to the rumor mill. The Kremlin has repeatedly said that Putin is in good health.
Kadyrov, a Putin loyalist whose soldiers are fighting in Ukraine, described the idea of Putin being in a coma as "ridiculous nonsense" and said that he had "recently" spoken with him. "He has a very cheerful voice, a commanding voice, and he is ready to complete the special operation without harming the Ukrainian people and the state as much as possible," Kadyrov said in his post.
In a warning to those spreading such rumors, the leader of the predominantly Muslim republic in Russia's Caucasus region said, "I advise you that it is better to shut your mouths."
"May Allah grant our president a long life, health, happiness and good luck," Kadyrov said at the end of the 69-second recording in Russian, in which he frequently used the Chechen filler word "don."

Typical leftist propaganda tactics; set up a strawman, then knock it down and claim victory.
Kadyrov is Putin’s best buddy. Why did Kadyrov bring up the coma story and post about it on his Telegram channel?
Your arguments are really weak these days. Maybe you need to take a few days off. Lay off the vodka, and then regroup your thoughts.
Aww such a cute couple ....
kee-ripes... was that in the diary?
So Putin’s in a coma and has monkeypox?
Apparently, both Putin and Biden are in comas. Did Putin shower with Biden’s daughter, too?
Whatever is said about Putin, he has one advantage over most other western leaders. He’s a lot smarter. He’s managed to run Russia for a long time. That is no mean feat.
Never underestimate your enemy. All this ridiculous propaganda has only rebounded against its authors.
Hush Neocon 🐷
As someone who isn’t American, what are you even doing here?

I showered with your Mom, though. She smelled like caviar.
