Kadyrov, leader of Chechnya, says Russia’s tactics were not working and should be intensified by using more weapons:
Ramzan Kadyrov, the strongman leader of the province of Chechnya who commands some of Russia’s most feared units, said Russia’s tactics were not working and should be intensified by using more weapons.
“They’re armed to the teeth with new weaponry and ammunition, new generation heavy artillery, and we’re still placing our hopes on the Ukrainians’ coming to their senses,” Kadyrov wrote on messaging app Telegram. “I’ve developed tactics and strategy against terrorists many times and fought in battle. In my understanding the tactics we’ve chosen in Ukraine are too sluggish.”
“We have to change . . . That’ll be more convincing for them,” Kadyrov said, calling on Russian president Vladimir Putin to “give all special forces the order to finish off the Nazis and terrorists” in Ukraine. Putin has described the leadership in Kyiv as “terrorists” and “neo-Nazis”.
It appears that wishful thinking is again at work . . . halting the Russian forces for an entire day while waiting for Kiev to negotiate; forbidding the use of heavy weapons and air power against the UAF. If Kadyrov is upset enough to go public with this, it is a big deal to many in the Russian military.
Let us call his position hard line and Putin's too restrained and moderate.
The MC then bows and signals to the maestro to strike up the big brass brand from Odessa to play the Grand Macabre.
My friends welcome to an eve of destruction, for dancing with the rubble in ruins of the morning.
