If Kadyrov has his way, Russia will attack Poland next

politics

Ramzan Kadyrov, ruler in Chechnya, repeatedly attracts attention with his aggressive rhetoric. Now the 46-year-old is proposing to expand the Ukraine war – the next Russian target should be EU member Poland.

Although Ramzan Kadyrov is never at a loss for pithy remarks and inflammatory statements, the Russians, who have ruled Chechnya since 2007, have been relatively quiet in recent weeks.

Now Kadyrov leaves in his Telegram channel but again a questionable statement from the pile: The 46-year-old is targeting Ukraine neighbor and EU member Poland. Kadyrov wrote on Telegram that Russia himself after war in Ukraine Poland should accept in order to “denazify and de-Satanicize” it, like the Russian-language TV station based in the Czech Republic currenttime.tv writes.

The background to the statement is that Poland will soon receive US arms deliveries, which will go into the Ukraine to replace equipment supplied.

“We of course support Ukraine in its defense of sovereignty and actually defense of the entire region. However, for us it is crucial that Poland is safe and it will be when this equipment is here,” said Polish government official Marcin Przydacz , How polsatnews.pl writes.

The USA had assured his country that the replacement weapons would arrive in Poland as soon as possible.

Reason enough for Kadyrov to scoff at Poland and threaten the country with war. He continues to write on Telegram: “Warsaw has managed to exhaust its own military resources because they support Ukraine.” And he asks rhetorically: “After the successful completion of the special operation, shouldn’t Russia begin to denazify and demilitarize the next country?” After all, Poland is the next country on the map.

He further adds:

In his tirade, Kadyrov, referring to “desatanization,” once again took up the Russian propaganda argument that there was a collapse in values ​​in the West and that only in Russia is the true faith practiced that needs to be defended. At the beginning of the war in Ukraine in particular, the Russian leadership also justified the attack on the neighboring country with the supposed need for “denazification”.

It is questionable whether the Chechen’s statements should be taken seriously. The authoritarian ruler Kadyrov has drawn attention to himself with extreme statements in the past, including calls for Russian nuclear strikes against Western Europe.

In Poland, but also in other Eastern European countries, especially in the Baltic States, there are serious security concerns due to the geographical proximity to Russia – regardless of what extremist Kadyrov writes on Telegram.
