On October 20, Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya, said that what is happening in the Gaza Strip is clear evidence of the “genocide of Palestinian Muslims.”

"Those responsible for these heinous crimes have long ago overstepped all conceivable and unthinkable bounds, turning practically the entire world against themselves with the exception of the same criminals and hypocrites sitting in power in a number of Western states. It is they, as we see, who support Satanists and Nazis in Ukraine. That is why we are happy to fight them within the framework of the special military operation [Russo-Ukrainain War]," the Chechen leader noted.

"All these days, Chechen residents have been holding collective tahajjud namazes [night prayer] in the region's mosques. They are praying to Almighty Allah, asking for mercy for the oppressed Palestinian people and victory for our brothers involved in the special military operation in Ukraine because pray is the strongest weapon of Muslims," he noted.

"Despite the late night and overcoming fatigue, the Muslims of the Chechen [Federal] Republic strive in mosques to stand for collective namaz in line with those who are deeply saddened by the deaths of thousands of innocent children, women, and the elderly, who are outraged by the highest degree of injustice and lawlessness. They cry out to the Creator [God], asking for severe punishment for the enemies of all mankind and to protect the fighters fighting against the Ukrainian fascists," Kadyrov said.
