Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechen Republic and a close ally of Russia, has demanded that Putin’s troops “denazify and demilitarize” Poland.
In a rant sent to the social network Telegram on Monday, a native Russian stated that Poland had drained its military resources and was now asking: ‘What if, following the successful conclusion of the [special military operation], Russia proceeds to denazify and demilitarize the next country?’
After Ukraine, Poland is finally on the map!
He said, “Frankly, I have such an intention myself, and […] the fight against Satanism should continue throughout Europe, and in particular on Polish soil.”
He claimed that the predominantly Polish historical region of Silesia had “earned a special independent status” and required a referendum, “during which Russia can provide organizational assistance.”
Kadyrov is the son of former Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov, who defected to the Russian side at the commencement of Putin’s presidency during the Chechen War.
Since more than two decades, the dynasty has tightly tied the nation with Russia.
Several Chechen battalions led by Kadyrov have fought with Russian forces in the Ukraine conflict.
Notably, anti-Kadyrovite volunteer battalions have also fought with Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the war, Kadyrov has supported Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and on February 26, 2022, he said that his country will “carry out [Putin’s] orders under any circumstances.”
Within days, he encouraged military commanders to hammer Russia into submission, to “close your eyes to everything,” and to end the conflict “within two days.”
A little over a year after the beginning of the conflict, he said on Tuesday that the so-called special military operation will conclude by the end of the year.
European nations will recognize their error, the West will be brought to its knees, and, as usual, European nations will be forced to cooperate with the Russian Federation in all fields.
Kadyrov has demonstrated his devotion to Putin by echoing his anti-Western demonstrations.
Nonetheless, the Chechen warlord has occasionally proven a liability for Russia.
During the war, he called for the destruction of Ukrainian cities.
Throughout his term as leader, Kadyrov has oppressed his own people and has been accused of violating human rights and persecuting LGBT individuals in the republic.
Before the war, he gained notoriety in the West for his advocacy of the honor killing of gay males.
He stated, “We do not have such individuals here.” We don’t have any homosexuals.
Gay males were incarcerated and tortured in Chechen prisons, as evidenced by 2017 footage.
In his inaugural address for his fourth term in 2021, Kadyrov swore to ‘defend human rights’ after receiving 99.7% of the vote and Putin’s support.
In less than a year, he said that his ‘time had come’ and hinted that he would leave.
The leader also stated, “My time has passed” and alluded to the selection of a successor weeks before the 2016 election.
Even if the controversial leader wished to stand down, observers, including Putin, would fear that another Chechen war may ensue.
