Chechen Leader Ramzan Kadyrov Rescued from Drowning in Turkish Resort
Ramzan Kadyrov, the controversial leader of Russia's Chechen Republic, was rescued from a near-drowning incident while vacationing at a luxury resort on Turkey's Aegean coast, according to a report by European broadcaster Euronews on Friday.
The incident occurred at a five-star hotel in the Kainar area of Bodrum, a popular destination in Muğla Province. Kadyrov, 48, reportedly lost consciousness shortly after entering the water for a swim.
Turkish media outlets said members of the Turkish Coast Guard, along with hotel staff, quickly noticed Kadyrov's distress and rushed to his aid. Emergency first aid was administered on-site before he was transported to a private clinic nearby.
Medical personnel later confirmed that Kadyrov's condition had stabilized and there was no immediate threat to his life. No official statement has yet been issued by Chechen or Russian authorities.
The cause of Kadyrov's sudden collapse remains unclear.

Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, inherited power from his father, Akhmad Kadyrov, a former separatist-turned-Kremlin loyalist who was assassinated in 2004. Known for his iron-fisted rule and deep involvement in Moscow's military campaigns, including the war in Ukraine, Kadyrov remains one of the most polarizing figures in post-Soviet politics.
The unexpected health scare comes amid growing international scrutiny of Kadyrov, whose name has frequently appeared in human rights reports for alleged abuses in Chechnya.
Further updates are expected as Turkish authorities and Chechen officials assess the circumstances of the incident.

US, EU Strike Landmark Trade Deal Setting Tariffs at 15%
Taarek Refaat The United States and the European Union have reached a sweeping trade agreement that sets a unified tariff rate of 15% on most goods exchanged between the two economic powers. The announcement came just days before a looming deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump, who had threatened to double tariffs on EU imports if a deal was not secured. The agreement, first reported by Politico, covers a wide range of goods, including automotive imports and industrial products. However, pharmaceutical products are notably exempt from the new tariff regime. 'This is a tremendous deal for both the United States and the European Union,' President Trump told reporters following a high-level meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. 'We've leveled the playing field, and we're entering a new era of fair and reciprocal trade.' As part of the accord, the EU has pledged to purchase $750 billion worth of American energy exports over the coming years, a move seen as a strategic effort to reduce reliance on Russian energy sources. The deal also includes a European commitment to increase military equipment investment by an additional $600 billion, compared to previous defense spending plans. In return, U.S. markets will maintain access to European goods under the agreed 15% tariff rate, while the EU has agreed to open its markets to U.S. products without any additional customs duties, marking a significant shift in European trade policy. Experts say the agreement signals a recalibration of U.S.–EU relations after years of friction over tariffs, digital taxes, and industrial subsidies. It also reflects a shared interest in strengthening economic ties amid growing global uncertainty and rising competition from China. 'This is not just about trade. It's about geopolitical alignment,' said Dr. Lisa Reinhardt, a trade analyst at the Atlantic Policy Institute. 'Energy, defense, and market access, this agreement touches every pillar of the transatlantic alliance.' While the details of the agreement will require ratification on both sides of the Atlantic, early market reactions have been positive. European auto stocks rose sharply following the news, and energy sector shares in the U.S. also posted gains. The deal is expected to go into effect later this year, pending legislative approvals. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
