Vladimir Putin is no stranger to rumours about his own health – but now the health of one of his closest allies has been called into question.
Exiled newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe claims that Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, 47, is suffering from pancreatic disease and has ‘no hope of recovery’.
The news outlet says Kadyrov – a leading ally of the dictator’s war against Ukraine – has been living with ‘pancreatic necrosis’ for more than five years, which explains his frequent absences from the public stage.
An extraordinary new picture shows the Chechen warlord looking unusually bloated.
Novaya Gazeta Europe adds: ‘Moscow must now decide operationally how to maintain stability when the tough Chechen dictator is no more.
‘Kadyrov’s size increased by one and a half times.
“The shape of his abdomen acquired all the signs of pancreatogenic ascites.
‘He developed severe shortness of breath, spoke with difficulty, walked slowly, and dressed too warmly for the Chechen climate.’

Warlord? I didn’t know that Putin lived in tribal Africa.
You forgot to mention the eggs MarxistMinimus!
Are you really going to keep posting these useless cancer conspiracy theories? Even in the remote chance you are right, it really cannot effect the outcome of the war.
Mr. Kadyrov is an awful person but still I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I hope his passing is as humane as can be and he will be in my prayers tonight for God’s mercy to be shown to him.
I thought Putin was supposedly the one with pancreatic cancer. About two years ago, all kinds of ‘death’s door’ rumors began to circulate about V. Putin. Yet, he continues.
See the reality on the ground.
If Putin can rise for the dead and overcome stomach, thyroid and blood cancer, why can’t Kadyrov? Even if Kadyrov dies, Russia could replace him with a body double. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Inshallah!
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Yeah, and the idiots at Metro UK helped nature those rumors which they do not have the stomach to admit to, not to mention the propagandists who glee in spreading those rumors.
Lol! So true!
Pulitzer Prize winning photo, right there, for print journalism. The existential threat, writ large!
You mean this is the one cancer Putin isn’t suffering from considering he’s suffering from every other cancer known to man I’m surprised
Thanks! I agree.
And note that marcus has become the LEADING SPAMMER OF FreeRepublic.
Great. When he dies the next guy will be anti-Putin. I can hardly wait.

Is Kadyrov being “dumped”? Who is behind the publication about the illness of the head of Chechnya?
The health of Ramzan Kadyrov every now and then becomes a topic for heated discussion in the press and telegram channels. But this time the discussion has reached a new level.
Novaya Gazeta published a large text about what is happening in the republic, about Kadyrov’s health and his possible successor. Moreover, the author promised that this is only the first part of a series of investigations.
During the investigation, Kadyrov’s alleged diagnosis was made public: “necrosis of the pancreas.” And this is an important point. The diagnosis, as sources admit, turned out to be correct, although this is not the only illness of the Chechen leader. However, interlocutors surrounded by the head of Chechnya are convinced that someone decided to “leave” him in advance.
Kiriyenko’s people are pleased with the appearance of the article.
“We covered him (Kadyrov - Ed.) many times. Now people have learned what strong cases were made,” says a well-known political strategist close to Kiriyenko. He notes the part of the article where the author spoke about the repeated rescue of the Chechen leader using staged meetings and photographs.
In general, as interlocutors say, not everyone in Chechnya agrees with the idea that after Kadyrov, the republic should be headed by General Apti Alaudinov.
“We see how Alaudinov is building a career. But he will not be able to control such a difficult region,” said a source close to Ramzan Kadyrov. Kadyrov himself, as we were told, read the article, but was dissatisfied with its content. He believes that he is being “written off early.” Moreover, he hinted to his loved ones that the scoundrels who ordered the article sit very high.
Probably, we are talking about the Kremlin, although why should the AP specifically highlight the problem with Chechnya is a question to which there is no answer.
Rumor has it that Kadyrov is going to Moscow again. This time, combine treatment with important meetings with prominent security officials. However, the heads of the security agencies themselves are in no hurry to build meetings with Kadyrov into their schedules. Sources hint that the head of Chechnya is indeed being “written off.”
“Otherwise, who would allow Kadyrov’s real diagnosis to be made public?” - our interlocutor asks a rhetorical question.
We’ve been through this a couple of times already. Call us when he croaks.
