Russian media reported that the right-hand man of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov was wounded amid Ukraine’s counter-attack in the Zaporizhia region.
Amid unconfirmed news reported by the Ukrainian media about the killing of the Chechen deputy, the Telegram channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense quoted the State Duma as confirming that Delimkhanov was injured. No further details were immediately available about the severity of his injuries.
Curiously, Kadyrov took to Telegram to admit that he could not get Delimkhanov and had no idea where he was. And in a wild plot twist, the Chechen leader who for months encouraged the killing of Ukrainians is now appealing to the Ukrainian authorities for help.
“I ask the Ukrainian secret services to provide information about exactly where and which sites were bombed, so that I can find my dear brother,” Kadyrov wrote on Wednesday.
“I promise a generous reward and ask you to help.”
Vyacheslav Volodin, the State Duma speaker, claimed he “just talked” to Delimkhanov, according to fellow MP Dmitry Kuznetsov. Kuznetsov told state-controlled media that Delimkhanov was “alive and well” and “wishes us well”.
A Russian newspaper quoted a Chechen commander TASS The news agency went further and claimed that Delimkhanov “was more alive than all the living” and had returned home to Chechnya.
Conflicting accounts have raised questions about Delimkhanov’s condition, with many wondering why Kadyrov could not contact his cousin while other lawmakers apparently had access to him.
