This leader, who is close to Vladimir Putin, assures that the teenagers undertook military training “for a long time” to learn how to use “different weapons”.
“The time has come (for her) to shine in a real fight.” In a message published on Telegram, the President of Russia’s Chechnya region, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced on Monday that he would send three of his teenage sons to Ukraine, where he called for the use of nuclear weapons.
The latter and his militias, the “kadyrovtsy”, are accused of numerous attacks in Chechnya. His men were also deployed alongside the Russian army in Ukraine.
“Soon they will go to the front”
In his post, he said his children Akhmat, Eli and Adam, aged 16, 15 and 14 respectively, had been undergoing military training “for a long time” to learn how to use “various weapons”.
“I can only praise their determination. Soon they will go to the front and find themselves in the most difficult areas of the contact line,” continued Ramzan Kadyrov.
The Chechen leader has 14 children according to his official website, but Russian media say he may have more.
“I have always thought that a father’s main job is to instill piety in his sons and teach them to defend their family, their people and their country. If you want peace, prepare for war!” he wrote again on Monday.
Ramzan Kadyrov, familiar with outrageous statements, on Saturday called for the use of “low-power nuclear weapons” in Ukraine while the Russian army is struggling and has been forced to withdraw from the strategic city of Lyman.
