The head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov has been offered a new position in the Russian leadership.

Axar.az reports citing "Argument weekly" citing his Kremlin source.

Kadyrov may be an authorized representative of the Russian president.

Earlier, the Chechen leader transferred his powers to the chairman of the government, Muslim Khouchev, due to temporary disability.

Although Kadyrov began to receive treatment on January 13, only Russian President Vladimir Putin's appeal to the Federation Council and the Prime Minister's resignation were known.
