Adam Kadyrov appeared at a meeting with his father for the first time since the accident was reported.
Secretary of the Chechen Security Council Adam Kadyrov reported on successes in the fight against sabotage groups and price gouging during Ramadan. This appearance of Adam Kadyrov at a meeting with the head of Chechnya was the first long video since the accident in Grozny was reported.
As "Caucasian Knot" reported, on February 9, Ramzan Kadyrov mentioned for the first time the traffic accident involving his third son, Adam, calling all media reports about the incident "fakes." On February 10, he published a short video of a "late dinner," showing his third son, Adam, for the first time in more than three weeks. He was allegedly involved in a car accident in mid-January. Social media users found the video strange, and the quality and length of the recording only raised new questions on social media. Sources reported that Adam Kadyrov's injuries were having an impact on his health. Speculation about the health of the Chechen leader's third son arose amid prolonged silence from the authorities, although residents of the republic expressed indifference to the health of the head of the region's son.
On January 16, sources reported that the motorcade of Ramzan Kadyrov's third son was involved in a car accident in Grozny, injuring Adam Kadyrov and those accompanying him. For three weeks after the accident, Adam Kadyrov remained relatively active on social media, but he did not publish any new images of himself. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report, "What is known about the classified incident involving Adam Kadyrov in Grozny."
Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, reporting on a meeting with representatives of the security forces, published a video in which his son, Adam, reports on the work of the Chechen Security Council.
As can be seen in the video, Adam Kadyrov is reading from a piece of paper, practically without taking his eyes off it. The camouflage uniform with the "Dustum" inscription bears only two awards.
In his report, he stated, among other things, that work had been carried out "to prevent price increases on socially important food products during the holy month of Ramadan," and that administrative preventative measures had been taken where such increases were identified. He also announced efforts to identify sabotage groups and monitor gas stations for compliance with safety requirements. The report did not provide any specific details.
The camera shows the meeting participants, including the republic's leaders and representatives of security agencies. The video also features Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, his eldest son Akhmat Kadyrov, and Chechen government head Magomed Daudov, all listening to the report.
It should be noted that Adam Kadyrov previously appeared in a video about a visit to construction sites, published on the Chechen leader's Telegram channel on March 17, but he received little attention there—the third son of the Chechen leader remained in the background. On March 20, he was also present in a video of the morning prayer for Eid al-Fitr in the mosque of his ancestral village of Akhmat-Yurt, which his father also posted.
As a reminder, residents of the republic reported that federal media outlets were showing interest in information about the accident involving 18-year-old Adam Kadyrov and his health, while ordinary people in Chechnya were indifferent to these topics. They admitted that they were more concerned about power outages, low wages, and daily household problems.
Ramzan Kadyrov's third son began receiving numerous awards and titles in the fall of 2023, shortly after Nikita Zhuravel was beaten in a pretrial detention center. On December 30, 2025, he received from his father the Akhmat Kadyrov Memorial Medal "For Contribution to Ensuring Security, Stability, and Prosperity of the Homeland." On August 25, 2025, he was awarded the "Defender of the Chechen Republic" medal during the tactical shooting championship, although he himself did not take part in the competition. Commenting on the award, Kadyrov Sr. stated that his son received all the awards for specific achievements.
Ramzan Kadyrov would like to see his third son, Adam, as his successor, but in reality, neither Adam nor the other sons of the Chechen leader have received Kremlin guarantees allowing them to claim power in the republic, analysts previously interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" indicated. "The federal center didn't give Ramzan any guarantees that power would fall to Adam. Therefore, a specific post, whether it's Security Council Secretary, which Adam Kadyrov holds, or Deputy Prime Minister, which Akhmat Kadyrov holds, doesn't offer any advantages to either potential successor. In any case, the final say will be Putin's," political scientist Sergei Boyko recalled.
