Do not let it pass
Kadyrov further asks that Poland ask for official forgiveness the attack on the Russian ambassador Sergei Andreyev.

NATO is preparing for a major war
Has assisted Ukraine
Poland has received millions of Ukrainian refugees since the war began in late February. The country is a strong supporter of Ukraine’s desire to join the EU.
Poland has become an important staging post for humanitarian aid from the West, as well as weapons, which are sent to Ukraine. The country has also assisted Ukraine in sending grain and other agricultural products to the world market, as Russia has blocked Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea.
Earlier this week, Ukraine and Poland entered into a border cooperation – referred to as a historic bilateral agreement by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The agreement stipulates that the two countries will establish joint border control. In the long term, the plan is for the countries to also establish a railway company that will contribute to improving Ukraine’s export opportunities by making it easier to transport goods to the EU.

Private army
Kadyrov was recently promoted to lieutenant general in the Russian army for his role in the invasion of Ukraine. His virtually private army, the infamous “Kadyrovites”, fought side by side with Russian forces in the war.
Already in the early days of the war, Kadyrov announced that he “has 70,000 volunteer forces ready to fight for our state, Russia,” and during a grand event in the capital Grozny on February 25, 10,000 of his subjects volunteered for service.
Chechnya is one of Russia’s sub-republics, and has been ravaged by internal unrest for decades. Kadyrov and Putin are interdependent; while the elected Kadyrov does not help the Russian president keep the Islamist forces in the region in check, he has Putin behind him as sole ruler of the republic.
