The leader of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, called his ally Russian President Vladimir Putun the right move in the military invasion of Ukraine. Kadyrov claims Chechen troops are ready to help Russia fight against Ukraine.
He even confidently called on the Ukrainian people to rise up against and overthrow the regime of Volodymyr Zelensky. Kadyrov is optimistic that Russian troops will easily seize vital cities in Ukraine, including Kiev. He only reminded the Russian soldiers to survive and not be killed.
He said that currently he was just waiting for orders from Putin to help in the fight against Ukraine.
"The president (Putin) took the right decision. We are ready to carry out his orders under any circumstances," Kadyrov was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera, Sunday, February 27, 2022. Kadyrov is known to be close to Vladimir Putin. He even once claimed to be ready to die for white.
In defense of Putin, he also called for the Ukrainian people to rise up against the Zelensky regime.
Kadyrov also briefly released videos of Russian troops launching their aggression against Ukrainian cities. The video shows Russian troops attacking through artillery and cruise missiles for the third day in a row.
Regarding the Chechen troops, a short video published by a Russian news channel on Friday showed about 12,000 Chechen fighters gathering. The location of the gathering is thought to be in the main square of the region's capital, Grozny.
They expressed readiness to fight in Ukraine. It was not immediately clear whether the fighters had been deployed to Ukraine or not. There is other information, Chechen troops are waiting for orders from Putin to enter Ukraine.
Despite the criticism, Russian President Vladimir Putin continued to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The UN report says nearly 116,000 Ukrainians have fled to neighboring countries. Ukrainian Health Minister Viktor Lyashko said 198 civilians, including three children, were killed. Meanwhile, 1,115 were injured.
