Adam Kadyrov Receives New Medal – "For Contribution to the Special Military Operation"

Adam Kadyrov, the 18-year-old son of the head of Chechnya, was awarded a medal "for his contribution to the Special Military Operation." This was announced by Akhmed Dudayev, Deputy Prime Minister and the regional Minister for National Policy, External Relations, and Information, on his Telegram channel.

"I congratulate the aide to the head of the Chechen Republic, Secretary of the Security Council of the Chechen Republic, and dear brother Adam Kadyrov on receiving the medal 'For Contribution to the Special Military Operation.' This prestigious award, presented by Major General Pavel Kozayev, Chief of the National Guard Special Forces Center, is a well-deserved recognition of Adam Kadyrov's contribution to ensuring security and supporting the Special Military Operation," Dudayev wrote.

According to him, Adam is participating "in the development of one of the most important training centers for defenders of the Fatherland" as the curator of the Russian Special Forces University named after Putin.

In January, Ramzan Kadyrov's third son received a medal for guarding the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. Since 2023, he has received approximately 30 regional and state awards.
