Chechen president's security service: Ramzan Kadyrov 'is safe and sound'

Officers of Kadyrov's security service assert the rumors that their chief, Ramzan Kadyrov, was wounded are a lie. "There was no skirmish between Ramzan and his security guard in Gudermes during which he allegedly received a severe wound," said a subordinate to Kadyrov junior (Editor's note: Ramzan Kadyrov is a son of Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov.). "There have even been rumors that Ramzan was killed, and we shot her murderer dead in revenge. They all are fantasies and gossips of Udugov's propaganda. His website was the first to publish this "sensational piece of news". Ramzan is safe and sound. He is fulfilling his duties of service.

Meanwhile, rumors that the conflict with the use of arms between Ramzan Kadyrov and a certain officer of the Chechen President's security service still occurred are circulating in the republic. But no one can say exactly who fired on Kadyrov junior and why. One version is that it was his security guard who fired on him, another one is that he had a dispute with Movladi Baysarov (commander of the group of Kadyrov's guard stationed in the village of Pobedinskoye, Chechnya's Grozny district), which ended with firing. Many people in the republic believe the fact that Ramzan Kadyrov has not responded for several days to the reports of him being wounded is evidence of the version that the incident took place nevertheless.
