Recent statements from Kadyrov regarding war in Ukraine
“After Donetsk and Luhansk, we are ready to attack any state”
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called on the leaders of Western states to find a common language with Russian President Vladimir Putin and put "this Zelenskyy" at the negotiating table so that he would sign "all Russia's proposals." After that, Kadyrov turned to the leadership of Western countries, "maybe you won't lose some of your states."
“We will now finish in (separatist) Donetsk and Lugansk and are ready to move on to any state,” he said. "Western countries put the Chechens in a bad light, their special services worked against the republic, they did not succeed - and today the Chechens want to prove their loyalty, to show that they have never been against Russia," the head of the federal republic claimed. According to Kadyrov, President Vladimir Putin "did not just take the decision to launch a special operation in Ukraine."
“Our President Putin fought for a long time not to start this operation. We saw how civilians were killed for eight years ... When Russia saw a threat through Ukraine, as it once did through Chechnya, through South Ossetia, through Syria, Russia began to take measures,” Kadyrov said. According to him, "the president is a wise man, he controls everything himself, so his army today is all of Russia."
“I will even say more: we are approached by volunteers from European states who want to fight against the devils, Bandera. They say that 'today is a decisive moment and we are ready to leave for the republic, to study, and continue to fight against Bandera,' behind which are the Western states [and] their special services,” said the head of Chechnya.
“Chechnya has become a place of pilgrimage for volunteers”
The Russian University of Special Forces in Gudermes, in connection with the conduct of a special military operation on the territory of Donbass and Ukraine, "has become a real place of pilgrimage for numerous patriots of Russia," said the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, on his Telegram channel.
According to him, “hundreds, if not thousands of worthy sons of our Fatherland, who, at the call of their souls and hearts, are ready to clean up the Donbass and Ukraine from the Bandera junta, Nazis and shaitans, arrive in the republic every day to take accelerated courses.”
“Certified RUS instructors work with each volunteer, passing on their knowledge of the basics of tactical shooting and general physical fitness. Fighters from various regions of Russia are very determined. In the course of studying at RUS, in a very short time they became friends and became one big family, in which there is absolutely no difference who is of what nationality or religion. They have one common goal - to rid the Donbass and Ukraine of fascism, to prevent these evil spirits from spreading,” Kadyrov said.
“Ukrainians are kidnapped and forced to take up arms”
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, published video testimonies of the prisoners, who say that they were forcibly mobilised. "Ukrainian nationalists are literally abducting residents and forcing them to take up arms to resist Russian servicemen," Kadyrov claims.
“That's how Ivan Mazun and Andriy Oprishko suddenly became privates of the Ukrainian 5th Terodefense Battalion from simple hard workers. They claim that they were forcibly mobilised, like thousands of other local residents. They [are barely fed] and at the same time they are used not only to resist our fighters, but also to carry out rough work,” Kadyrov wrote on his telegram channel.
According to the prisoners, in the direction where their detachment was deployed, “the Chechen-speaking shaitan under the call sign Alabai declared himself the main one, the prisoners remember how this bastard shot a man who refused to dig trenches.”
“I have always warned that the terrorists who fled the Chechen Republic have blood on their hands up to their elbows. They will do nothing good for any people. From them it is necessary to expect only troubles. Now they are rampaging in Ukraine, taking advantage of the current situation. But they didn't have long to enjoy the sun. We'll deal with them anyway. We have our own accounts with them. The main thing is that before us, the Ukrainians themselves would not let them in for fertiliser,” concluded Kadyrov.
