At a Russian Energy Week forum meeting on October 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Israel has occupied part of the ancestral Palestinian lands, including through military force.

"What is happening is terrible, we understand that the level of exasperation is enormous. But we need to minimize civilian casualties. If men have decided to fight among themselves, let them fight among themselves, but children and women should be left alone," Putin emphasized.

According to the Russian President, this applies to both sides. Putin noted that initially, there was talk about creating two states - Israel and Palestine, but Palestine was never allowed to do it. The Russian leader emphasized that expanding the conflict zone could lead to dire consequences. 

Commenting on Putin's words, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said that the conflict in Palestine has become a manifestation of injustice elevated to an unbelievable degree.

"We are convinced again and again that there is no other president in the world who is as bold as our supreme commander-in-chief, who can openly speak the truth without fear of the slanted glances of other countries' leaders," Kadyrov said.

The Chechen leader assured that everyone on the team of Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov, the first head of the federal republic, is ready to follow a president who speaks openly what the international community is afraid to mention. "It would be an honor for me and every team member to die for such a leader. After Vladimir Vladimirovich's words today, we are only convinced that we will support him unconditionally until our last breath," Kadyrov said.

Notably, on October 7, the large-scale surprise attack by Gaza militants on Israel left hundreds of Israelis dead. "Citizens of Israel, we are at war – not in an operation, not in rounds – at war," Netanyahu said in a video message. Mohammed Al-Deif, the military chief of Hamas, called the operation "Al-Aqsa Storm" and said it was a retaliation for assaults on women, the destruction of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and the continued blockade of Gaza.
