Denys Davidov, a Ukrainian airline pilot who blogs on YouTube has published a video on his Telegram channel a video just released. The screenshot shows Kadyrov “visiting a relative”in hospital to explain reports of his coma and death.
His caption to the video reads
Kadyrov denied rumors about his illness. He wrote that he went to the Kremlin Central Clinical Hospital to visit a relative, and he himself is “alive and well”
This is not necessarily the whole picture. There were reports of Kadyrov being taken to the clinic in at least a severely “tired and emotional” state related to his alleged use of drugs. As well as visiting a clearly very unwell relative, he could also have been dried out treated for ongoing illness there himself.
Now the good news. Nothing in print on line I can find at the moment but there were reports yesterday that France was about to give Ukraine Mirage jets.
The agreement for Ukraine to receive some of the Mirage 2000D ground attack fighters from the French Air and Space Force is moving forward. According to the French site Intelligence Online, a delegation of Ukrainian Air Force Headquarters commanders traveled to France to finalize the details of the future agreement under which they will receive an as yet undetermined number of Mirage 2000 fighters. In particular, Kiev is interested in the specialized ground attack version, the Mirage 2000D.
Earlier there were reports in the French press that agreement had been reached and that France had already been clandestinely training Ukrainian pilots on Mirages. Johnathan MS Pearce produced a breaking news” YouTube video summarizing these reports but his main source has retracted.
x 👀 The Spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force Yuriy Ignat denied the rumors about the imminent transfer of Dassault Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Ukraine, which are circulating in the French mass media.

Of course that denial by the Air Force depends on the definition of “imminent” and does not rule out an imminent announcement that the transfer is about to take place. The rumors though will put pressure on Macron to come forward. I append his short (for him) video which gives the position at the time of making but also gives more information about the utility of these aircraft.
