Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechen Republic in Russia, posted a video on his Telegram channel of him going for a run outdoors.
"The weather outside is beautiful and welcoming to get out of the house. We start the morning with a light jog. Don't forget my advice about fresh air. Let's go!"
In the short 30-second clip, he begins to run gently down a park path and shortly thereafter vanishes around the corner.
Earlier, some media channels on Telegram and news outlets reported that the leader of Chechnya was ill and receiving treatment at the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow. There were even published reports of his alleged death. Kadyrov, however, clarified that he was in good health, and any talk of him having any 'serious illness' was circulated by "people who aim to harm our state, people, and faiths."
