Akhmed Zakaev: "There are no Ukrainian prisoners of war in Chechnya, and we are satisfied only with the complete transformation of Russia."

Today, many Chechens are fighting for Ukraine. Moreover, they are liquidating the enemy already on Russian territory itself, as was the case recently in the Belgorod region. This was stated by the head of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in exile, Akhmed Zakayev, on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel.

According to Zakayev, there are no Ukrainian prisoners of war in Chechnya. All videos with the military, who are allegedly brought to Kadyrov, are staged for propaganda. He added that now there are practically no Chechens on the territory of Ukraine, and the forces that are presented as fighters of the Akhmat unit consist of other nationalities. Kadyrov hires and sends them as Chechen volunteers.

“The Chechens have not forgotten anything and, paying tribute to the memory of the Ukrainians who supported them in repelling Russian aggression, are now fighting on the side of Kyiv. Today is the last war of Russia. As an empire, it will not survive, the Chechens will not be satisfied with a change of regime - only a complete transformation of the state,” Zakayev noted.
