Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov posted a message on Telegram accompanied by a video announcing „impressive military plans„. 

„We already have a plan to demilitarise NATO countries, and Poland is the first in the line after the conquest of Kyiv,” he announced. 

Already back in May, Kadyrov threatened Poland for the incident involving the Russian ambassador to Warsaw, Sergey Andreev, who had been drenched with red paint by pro-Ukraine protesters.

He then wrote that he was “ready for an attack on Poland” and that his troops would “show what they can do in 6 seconds”. 

In the meantime, Russia is still at war with its Ukrainian southwestern neighbour. The Russian invasion of Ukraine already cost the lives of tens of thousands of people on both sides, including many civilians. 

In Mariupol, the Russian forces issued a ruling to deprive Ukrainians of their property. According to the adviser of the city’s mayor Petro Andriushchenko, if people have not passed registration in the occupation institutions, their property will automatically be „nationalised” by the occupiers. 

Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov currently serves as the Head of the Chechen Republic. He was a member of the Chechen independence movement and a lieutenant general in the Russian military.
