Kadyrov announced departure of more than 600 volunteers to Ukraine

More than 600 people left Grozny for Ukraine to take part in the Russian military operation, said the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. In his Telegram channel, he stressed that the volunteer contingent consists not only of representatives of the law enforcement agencies of the republic, but also residents of other regions.

“More than 600 soldiers in full gear and with a great desire to clear the lands of the DPR and LPR, as well as all of Ukraine, from bandits, gathered at the Grozny International Airport named after Hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov. Among them are not only representatives of law enforcement agencies of the Chechen Republic and its residents, but also volunteers from other regions of Russia,” the Chechen leader said. He stated that at present the volunteer movement to participate in a special operation is only "gaining momentum."

“There are more and more people who want to contribute to the common cause of protecting the interests of our Fatherland and the inhabitants of the DPR and LPR from the criminal encroachments of the Ukrainian Nazis. And no one has any doubt that victory will be ours,” Kadyrov said. According to him, the victorious completion of the special operation will not be hindered by the actions of the United States and Europe, which supply weapons to the "Ukrainian bandits" and sponsor terror.

“Mercenaries have weapons, but no spirit”

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that authorities and the clergy of Ukraine "act stupidly," giving the state as a "bridgehead to America," leading Ukraine to war against the fraternal people, Kadyrov said in a video message.

“If there is an order from the president, to change power in Ukraine, to put worthy people there, is as easy as shelling pears,” Kadyrov said. He said that he had been to Ukraine before and admired this country, he wanted to come again as a tourist. “And now you have disappointed me,” the head of Chechnya admitted. “Therefore, I am one of those who ask to restore order on the territory of Ukraine.” Kadyrov noted that mercenaries and instructors from countries that are members of NATO and are “around NATO” are fighting against Russia in Ukraine. “They have no spirit, they have weapons, but no spirit. We need people. The infantry will always win. Not aviation, not artillery, but purely people. Therefore, we cleared Mariupol, Rubizhne, Popasna and other points,” said Ramzan Kadyrov.

He once again called on the Ukrainian people to “calm down this drug addict Zelensky.” 

“Putin, our president, he never abandons his people. His one word - and we will show where what and how. Let justice prevail,” Kadyrov concluded.

The attack on the Russian ambassador in Poland

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called the attack on the Russian ambassador in Warsaw on May 9 a violation of all norms. “We are very tough, and we ask the president to force all states that do not consider us to kneel. Poland, where do they do this with the ambassador? What is it? What is a democracy? What is Europe? Why aren't they taking action?" he said in a video on his telegram channel. Kadyrov noted that if this happened in Chechnya, then "the whole world, everyone, the UN, NATO - everyone would gather to condemn, discuss, impose sanctions."

“Well, he's an ambassador. How is that possible? This is a violation of all norms, in my opinion,” added the head of Chechnya.

Russian Ambassador Sergei Andreev, his wife and a group of diplomats accompanying him were attacked on May 9 in Warsaw, when they were going to lay flowers at the cemetery of Soviet soldiers. Unidentified persons doused them with red syrup and did not allow them to lay a wreath in honour of the celebration of Victory Day.

The failed attempt to counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, spoke about another unsuccessful attempt at a counteroffensive by the Ukrainian military in the Donbas.

In his Telegram channel, the Chechen leader explained that this combat episode took place around ​​​​the settlement of Voevodovka of the separatist LPR.

According to him, this senseless act of self-sacrifice was probably aimed at regaining lost firing positions. The head of the region stressed that the "counteroffensive, carefully thought out by the best minds" failed miserably. As specified, the Ukrainian side suffered significant losses both in terms of manpower and military equipment. One of the Ukrainian servicemen was captured. He disclosed the coordinates of the command post in the Voevodka area, which made it possible to liquidate the facility. “The next victory of our guys was not without valuable captured weapons and special military equipment. Step by step, Russian troops are bringing the inevitable end of Bandera's henchmen and all the rest of the trash closer,” concluded Kadyrov.

New batch of volunteers coming to Chechnya

Thousands of volunteers arrive daily from different regions of the country in Chechnya to train and take part in the operation to ‘de-nazify’ Ukraine according to the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov.

“Each of the newcomers is burning with the desire to incinerate the ideology of vile fascism that has spread in Ukraine. These young people left the cosy walls of their home for the sake of a noble goal - to fight side by side with their comrades and compatriots for the good of our country and the fraternal people of Ukraine,” Kadyrov notes. According to him, volunteers are provided with everything necessary, from military uniforms to weapons and ammunition. “The best instructors of the Russian University of Special Forces conduct accelerated training courses for new arrivals, teaching tactical shooting, as well as the basics of combat in different areas. Young people who have never taken up arms in just a couple of days master the skills of an experienced soldier,” says Kadyrov.
