Chechen leader admits Russian troops are in trouble in Ukraine

Jakarta

Republican Leader Chechnya Russia, Ramzan Kadyrov, admits that his country’s troops are “getting into trouble” in Ukraine. He also said that Russian troops were fighting “against NATO” from Ukraine.

Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, announced his troops had been deployed to the battlefield in Ukraine soon after the Russian president invaded on February 24.

Reported from NewsweekThursday (19/5/2022), at an educational forum in Moscow, Kadyrov spoke about Russian invasion of Ukrainewhere his militia had suffered heavy casualties.

“We are fighting, not fighting Ukraine … we are at war against NATO,” Kadyrov told the audience at the event called New Horizons, Wednesday (18/5) local time.

“NATO, the West is arming them,” he said. “Their mercenaries are there and that’s why our country is having a hard time,” he said.

“But it’s a very good experience, we will prove once again that Russia is unbeatable.”

Kadyrov also insulted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for the military and diplomatic support that Berlin gave Kiev.

“We saw how the German leadership behaved like a schizophrenic,” said Kadyrov.

Answering questions from the audience, Kadyrov admitted there were “about 3,000” soldiers Chechnya in Ukraine, some are “slowly clearing Lugansk and Donetsk” in the Donbas region, where he said “the situation is calm.”

He added that “in the beginning, there were mistakes” in the campaign but now “we are 100 percent going according to plan.”

Kadyrov also announced that another 200 volunteers had left Chechnya to take part in the war in Ukraine. He said there was no need for mass mobilization in Russia because “patriotism” would ensure that enough people would sign up for war.
