In turn, the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov on his page in instagram noted that the Chechens do not have a goal to fight in Ukraine, but they are not indifferent to the events in our country.

"There are no Chechen battalions in Ukraine, the ruling junta is trying to write off its punitive operations in Slavyansk for the presence of Chechen battalions among the defenders of the city." If they were there, I assure you, those who make such statements would have long ago fled not only from Slavyanska, but even from Kiev, which, in fact, they do not control, I ask Arsen Avakov and others to calm down, who see in every swarthy Chechen man and start when they say this word.
