Peskov on Kadyrov's Possible Resignation

The reports regarding this matter have never materialized. For now, we are proceeding from the understanding that he continues to lead the Chechen Republic.

This statement was made by Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President, who commented on the possible resignation of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, as quoted by TASS.

Previously, Kadyrov announced that he was 'the longest-serving among all heads of subjects.' He stated, 'I think my time has come...'

Kadyrov has contemplated a 'perpetual and extended vacation.' He discussed this on his Telegram channel, saying, 'Now I have learned that I am the longest-serving among all heads of subjects. In first place. I have been leading the republic for 15 years... I think my time has come... We have already started thinking about this.'
