“Indeed, we saw these messages, but, let’s put it this way, so far, if I understand correctly, these messages have not materialized in any way,” Peskov said.

The Kremlin proceeds from the fact that Kadyrov continues to lead Chechnya, he said.

Earlier, Kadyrov said that he "stayed too long" in his position and deserved an indefinite vacation.

He also noted that he is a "long-liver" among the current heads of Russian regions.

The first deputy head of the international committee of the Federation Council, Vladimir Dzhabarov, said that Kadyrov's departure from the post of head of the republic would be a great loss for the Chechen people and Russia as a whole.
