Lena Patyaeva, a friend of missing Chechen native Seda Suleimanova, was charged with an administrative offense after a solo picket in Grozny. She held the protest on August 23, the third anniversary of Suleimanova's disappearance. Under the charges against her, Patyaeva faces up to 30 days in jail or a fine of up to 300,000 rubles.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, recently threatened Ukraine with "revenge in the fullest sense of the word" in connection with the drone attacks on Moscow. Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, reacted to his statement. “Kadyrov should take revenge on Moscow and Putin personally, and not threaten Ukraine. It was the Russians who killed and destroyed the Chechens. It was the Russians who brought centuries of slavery to the Chechen land, thousands of murdered and tortured women and children, destroyed cities and desecrated graves of their ancestors. It was not the Ukrainians who leveled Grozny with tanks, along with its civilians, they were Russian tanks. The Chechen people remember this, and for those who have forgotten, it's time to remember!” Danilov said.
