Kadyrov reported the involvement of a Ukrainian citizen in the attack on a traffic police post in Chechnya

The attack on police officers in Chechnya was supervised by a Ukrainian citizen through subordinates in Turkey. In light of the incident, preventive measures against extremism and terrorism have been strengthened in the republic. This was announced by the head of the region, Ramzan Kadyrov.

“Particular responsibility lies with the parents and immediate relatives of terrorists. Each of them must understand that he will have to answer for the criminal actions of his loved ones if he knew, but did nothing, condoned or, even more so, encouraged the path of violence,” he added.

On April 7, in the city of Achkhoy-Martan, a local resident attacked a traffic police post with a knife. The police officers were stabbed. Two law enforcement officers were taken to the hospital, one of whom later died. The attacker was eliminated by return fire.
