Question from Paul
Did Ramzan Kadyrov really go with his troops to Ukraine?
Good morning Paul,
Faithful to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ramzan Kadyrov assured that he would be in Ukraine this Monday, March 14. The leader of the Russian republic of Chechnya posted a video on Telegram showing him in military uniform studying plans at a table with soldiers in a room. In the message, he explains that he is in Gostomel, an airfield near Kiev held by Russian troops.
Besides…today nothing proves that Chechen soldiers have already entered Ukraine. According to AFP, this information could not be independently verified and was questioned by Ukrainian officials.
Reddit users also analyzed several photos circulating on social media that allegedly show Chechen fighters in Ukraine. According to their analysis, they will be in… Belarus.
At the start of the Russian offensive, images circulated on social media showing a square in Grozny, Chechnya’s capital, filled with soldiers who said they were ready to go to Ukraine at any time.
In addition, Ramzan Kadyrov assured this Thursday that “a thousand” Chechen volunteers are sent to fight in Ukraine.
