"The teenage son of Chechnya's Moscow-backed leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, Adam Kadyrov, is reportedly in serious condition following a car accident in the republic's capital, Grozny. Two sourcestold RFE/RL's North Caucasus Service that following the January 16 accident, Adam Kadyrov, 18, is now "in intensive care" and has been taken to Chechnya's largest medical facility, Republican Hospital in Grozny, and nearby roads closed."
"Local opposition movement NIYSO has also reported the accident, saying Adam Kadyrov's motorcade "was moving at high speed, car after car, when it suddenly encountered an obstacle." "As a result, the cars began crashing into one another, which is why we are receiving information that there are many injured," NIYSO wrote in a Telegram post. "But the commotion was specifically because of Adam.""
"One of the many children of Ramzan Kadyrov, a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Adam Kadyrov has gained significant attention in recent years. That prominence is largely the result of coverage by state media in Chechnya, where he is portrayed as a brave youth who has fought in Russia's war against Ukraine and has excelled in sporting and military competitions."
