VLADIMIR Putin's war dog Ramzan Kadyrov is seriously ill with pancreatic necrosis with "no hope of recovery", reports claim.

Kadyrov - described as the son Vlad has never had - has been a strong supporter of Putin's Ukraine invasion, sending in his own troops to wage war on the frontline.
And now Russian outlet claims he could be on his last legs as his alleged pancreatic necrosis has "no hope of recovery".
A recent report from the Russian socio-political newspaper reads: "The Chechen leader’s health has been a matter of concern for a year now.
"The fact that Kadyrov is ill has been officially denied, first and foremost by him and his entourage.

"Yet some things cannot be concealed, namely the striking changes in the Chechen leader's appearance, behaviour and work schedule.
"Kadyrov is sick, and the Kremlin faces a serious problem: how to painlessly prepare Russia’s most troublesome region for a change of power that may occur very soon."
The warlord - who has been living an obscenely lavish life and flaunting his wealth around - was first diagnosed with a mystery condition in January 2019.
He previously acknowledged in public that he had been deemed "temporarily unfit for work" and had been compelled to take a leave of absence.

Kadyrov was then "put on a drip for just two days" due to his fever and virus, which he claimed to be mildly ill from.
The quick treatment raised "persistent suspicion" among the wider public, as many were left "puzzled" as to why a common cold would need an IV, reported.

What is pancreatic necrosis?
Pancreatic necrosis occurs when pancreatic tissue dies due to inadequate blood flow, inflammation, or injury.
It is often associated with severe pancreatitis.
Symptoms include intense abdominal pain, especially in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, fever, rapid pulse, and sometimes shock.
Complications can be severe, including infection, organ failure, and even death if left untreated.
Treatment typically involves hospitalisation, supportive care, antibiotics, and sometimes surgery to remove dead tissue.
Early detection and intervention are crucial for better outcomes.
When Kadyrov vanished from the limelight in October 2019, rumours circulated on anonymous Telegram groups that the Chechen leader was ill and might have been poisoned.
added that not many people in 2019 associated Kadyrov's drastic weight loss with a potential disease, even though it is the first sign of actively developing pancreatic necrosis.
Since 2019, Kadyrov is said to have had routine operations, including surgery, at the Russian Presidential Administration's Central Clinical Hospital at least twice a year.
Kadyrov's health started to rapidly decline in the spring of 2022, with Russian outlets reporting on his change in appearance.
One report read: "The shape of his abdomen acquired all the signs of pancreatogenic ascites; he developed terrible shortness of breath, had difficulty speaking, walked slowly, and dressed too warmly for the Chechen climate."
In September, the Chechen commander was reported to be lying in hospital in a coma as his lackeys were said to be rushing to his bedside in a bid to inherit his power.
Ukrainian Security Services claimed Putin's attack dog was fighting for his life after his "existing diseases" worsened.
The warlord's minions were then said to be getting ready to fill his vacancy if he doesn't survive rather than offering him well wishes.
Senior Chechen figures flocked to the Kremlin’s elite Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow, where Kadyrov was said to be being treated.
According to the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, multiple luxury cars with Chechen license plates ferrying bigwigs were seen at the hospital.
A very strong public relations operation was started at the federal level in an attempt to lessen the amount of conversation surrounding the "terminally ill Kadyrov," Novaya Gazeta reported.
Leading Russian politicians were said to be involved in it, including Putin himself.
Over the previous year, Vlad was said to have personally intervened four times to save the "dying" Kadyrov in the field of information, fitting a meeting with the Chechen leader's eldest son or with him directly into his presidential schedule.
The sessions were held for incredibly implausible reasons—especially considering Kadyrov's current state, which prevented him from reading a report on socioeconomic prosperity in Chechnya from a sheet of paper.
The health of Kadyrov has also been the subject of speculation for months amid claims he is terminally ill.
In March, the father of 14 laughed off rumours in a Telegram post.
He wrote: "For those who console themselves with the hope that I am terminally ill, I am sorry to upset you."
However, as rumours circulated that he had buried his personal physician alive for attempting to poison him, new photos seemed to depict the chubby monster.
Law enforcement-affiliated Telegram channel VChK-OGPU reported that the warlord "blamed the sharp deterioration in his health" on Suleymanov.
The chubby-looking warmonger denied concerns about his health, but in a July video, he acknowledged that he "might not have long to live".
He said to his followers that the purpose of the video was to "prove he was still alive".
Many were alarmed to see his discoloured right hand in the video and speculated that he might have liver or kidney issues.
In the footage, Kadyrov is seen with Russian MP Adam Delimkhanov - who was reported to have been killed or wounded in the Ukraine war in June after being targeted by a missile strike.
Kadyrov says: "We are still alive somehow.
"Anyway, we don’t want to live long. We will live a short but decent life."
Reports at the time suggested that Kadyrov was already very unwell and unable to speak but it appears his condition has now worsened, according to the SBU.
The Prada-wearing warlord known for his medieval forms of torture was brought in by Vlad to salvage his shambolic invasion.
The hardman has been outspoken about the West during Vlad's shambolic war - threatening to attack Poland and demanding nukes be used on the frontline.
He even drafted his own three teenage sons to fight in Ukraine.
