Kadyrov says he is tired of power
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said he is tired of power, but remains ready to run in the 2026 election. He made these remarks during a live Q&A session on the "Grozny" CHGTRK TV station on December 14.
He said, "If you ask me, I am tired of this power and serving the people. I think new forces and new people might be more interesting. If others take over, things might improve."
At the same time, the politician also said that if Russian President Vladimir Putin makes a corresponding proposal and the initiative receives public support, he is prepared to run in the 2026 election. Kadyrov added that he still commits himself to serving the people and will do so until his death.
Kadyrov revealed on October 8 that his daughter Khadzhat has received a honor certificate from President Putin. The Chechen leader pointed out that Khadzhat actively participates in various forums and summits, and actively represents the republic at the federal and international levels.
Last February, Putin awarded Kadyrov the second class "Order of the Fatherland" medal. The president praised his great contributions in strengthening the Russian state system, consolidating national defense capabilities, and promoting the socio-economic development of Chechnya.
