The fighters are “on their way to participate in the special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine”. A few days ago, the President of the Russian republic of Chechnya announced that he had visited troops in Ukraine. However, the information could not be independently confirmed. Kadyrov is a close ally of Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. Kadyrov’s troops are accused of numerous atrocities in Chechnya.
A few days ago, Kadyrov boasted that he was in Ukraine himself. “The other day we were about 20 kilometers away from you, Kiev Nazis, and now we’re even closer, and guess how close we got,” Kadyrov writes on Telegram. He threatened: “Maybe we are already in Kyiv and just waiting for the necessary orders?”
