“The time has come (for them) to shine in a real battle.” In a message posted on Telegram, the leading president of Russia’s Chechnya region, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced Monday that he would send three of his teenage sons to fight in Ukraine, where he called for the use of nuclear weapons.
The latter and his militias, the “kadyrovtsy”, have been accused of numerous abuses in Chechnya. His men were also deployed alongside the Russian army in Ukraine.
“Soon they will go to the front line”
In his post, he said his sons Akhmat, Eli and Adam, aged 16, 15 and 14 respectively, had been “for a long time” undergoing military training to learn how to use “different weapons”.
“I can only salute their determination. Soon they will go to the front line and find themselves in the most difficult areas of the contact line,” Ramzan Kadyrov continued.
The Chechen leader has 14 children, according to his official website, but Russian media say he could have more.
“I have always thought that the main mission of a father was to teach his children piety and to teach them to defend their family, their people and their country. Who wants peace, prepares for war! ”, He has written again this Monday.
Familiar with scandalous statements, Ramzan Kadyrov called on Saturday for the use of “low-power nuclear weapons” in Ukraine, while the Russian army is in difficulty and has had to withdraw from the strategic city of Lyman.
