The head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov addressed the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainians. He published the corresponding statement in Telegram.
“Mr. Zelensky! The time for clowning has come to an end. The hour has come to fulfill one's duty to one's own people in order to avoid irreversible consequences. That is, today, more than ever, there is a need to implement the Minsk agreements, which are signed not only by the President of Russia, but also by the President of Ukraine,” Kadyrov wrote.
He called the strict implementation of the provisions of the Minsk agreements the first important step not only in resolving the confrontation between Moscow and Kiev, but also in reducing overall tension. The politician also called on Zelensky, as the guarantor of the constitution and the security of his people, to do everything in his power to establish peace and avoid bloodshed.
Kadyrov also confessed his love for Ukraine and its people. “From the course in the history of the USSR that I happened to listen to at school, I know that the cradle of Russian statehood and Orthodoxy is Kievan Rus. Russians and Ukrainians are one Slavic people, with a common history, culture and religion,” he said, refusing to believe that Ukrainians consider themselves part of the Western world “with all its degenerate values and Russophobic hysteria.”
In conclusion, the head of Chechnya hoped that the Ukrainian people would restore historical justice without outside help. “It cannot be that the spiritual and historical heirs of the great hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky and the brilliant writer Nikolai Gogol would not want eternal peace with fraternal Russia!” he stressed.
In late January, Kadyrov said that if he were Russia's president, he “would have taken Ukraine long ago, sent troops there and put things in order there,” noting that Kiev was under US control. If the Ukrainians do not want to resist this themselves, then Moscow needs to take action and annex the country, the politician believes.
