Adam Kadîrov, the 18-year-old son of the head of the Republic of Chechnya, is in critical condition following a road accident in Grozny, according to Radio Free Europe and the Chechen opposition Telegram channel Niyso.
The son of Ramzan Kadîrov was found by the medical crews unconscious at the scene of the accident and resuscitated.
According to the Ingushetia-based Fortanga publication, Adam Kadîrov was transported from Grozny to Moscow on Friday night on an An-148-100EM plane — a “flying hospital” operated by Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations
According to Niyso sources, Adam Kadîrov's official motorcade was traveling at high speed when the accident occurred, involving several vehicles and injuring several people.
Security forces reportedly cordoned off areas of Grozny after the accident, particularly closing the roads leading to the hospital where Kadîrov Jr. is being treated.
Adam is one of the best-known children of Ramzan Kadîrov, the longtime head of Russia's Chechen Republic.
In September 2023, Ramzan Kadîrov shared a video of Adam, then 15, beating Nikita Zhuravel, accused of burning a copy of the Koran, in a police detention center. Ramzan Kadîrov promoted the recording on social media, saying he was proud of his son.
After the incident, Adam began to receive various awards and held several high-ranking positions in Chechnya. He currently serves as the secretary of Chechnya's Security Council and oversees the republic's Ministry of Internal Affairs.
