Ukraine Accuses Kadyrov of War Crimes

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has brought charges in absentia against the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, for committing war crimes.

According to the SBU, Kadyrov is suspected of cruelty to Ukrainian prisoners of war, including ordering the execution of soldiers on the battlefield instead of capturing them. In addition, he gave the order to use Ukrainian prisoners of war as a "human shield", placing them on the roofs of military facilities in Grozny.

Earlier, the head of Chechnya canceled the "take no prisoners" order given to the Akhmat special forces after the drone attack on the university in Gudermes. Kadyrov explained the decision by saying that he had received more than 2,000 letters from Ukrainians asking him to cancel the order.
