On Sunday (September 17), two videos were released on Kadyrov’s Telegram channel showing him walking through a park. In the first, he was seen smiling while on a stroll. In the second, he recommended people play sports.<\/p>\n
The caption to the videos read: \u201cI strongly recommend that everyone who cannot distinguish the truth from lies on the internet go for a walk, get some fresh air and put their thoughts in order. The rain can be wonderfully invigorating.\u201d<\/p>\n
The footage was not timestamped nor could it be geolocated, leaving onlookers unconvinced of its usefulness as counterevidence to the claims that the leader was ill or deceased.<\/p>\n
And when asked to refute the claims on Monday (September 18), the Kremlin declined.<\/p>\n

In any case, the presidential administration can hardly give out health certificates, so we have nothing to tell you here.\u201d<\/p>\n Kadyrov was elected president of Chechnya in 2007. He has ruled majority-Muslim Chechnya since, though one local source who wished to remain anonymous to protect their safety told Express.co.uk that many in the country resent the Russian-backed dynasty ruling over them.<\/p>\n In the last 16 years, Kadyrov has governed Chechnya with a heavy hand. He has been accused of ordering extrajudicial killings and torturing his opponents, while referring to himself as Putin\u2019s \u201cfoot soldier\u201d.<\/p>\n His forces, including his personal army, have fought in Ukraine and were even enlisted to help stop the Wagner Group mutiny on June 24.<\/p>\n They failed to carry out this task after getting stuck in traffic south of Rostov-on-Don, from where the mutiny was taking place, according to footage published at the time.<\/p>\n
