The son of the head of Chechnya threatened “enemies and devils” abroad

During an inspection of the Baysangur Benoevsky and Sheikh Mansur battalions, 16-year-old Adam Kadyrov, the son of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, threatened opposition-minded natives of the republic. This was reported by Kavkaz.Realii.

“There is no doubt that we will catch up and deal with people who have taken the path of deceit, enemies, shaitans, no matter what state they are in: in the West, in Ukraine,” said Adam Kadyrov.

At the end of December 2023, Ramzan Kadyrov recalled that their relatives would also be held responsible for the actions of all “extremists and terrorists” operating from abroad.

“We constantly observe how on the platforms of a number of social networks administered from abroad, young people are encouraged to commit serious crimes. Any attempt to commit an attack on a person’s life will also affect the relatives of the perpetrator. They must know what a representative of their family does and bear responsibility for him, which is what Chechen adats have been teaching us for centuries,” Kadyrov said at a meeting with the heads of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian National Guard.
