The Chechen leader, who rules his Caucasian republic with an iron fist, claimed last Monday that he was in Ukraine, together with Moscow forces at a captured airport near Kiev. However, this information cannot be independently verified and has been questioned by Ukrainian officials. Ramzan Kadyrov, criticized by international NGOs for the serious human rights violations taking place in Chechnya, is a staunch supporter of Vladimir Putin and has a militia under his command. At the beginning of the Russian offensive, images circulated on social media showing a square in Grozny, the Chechen capital, full of soldiers who said they were ready to leave for Ukraine at any moment. Forces under Kadyrov’s control are accused of numerous abuses in Chechnya. (HANDLE).
