Putin instructed the Cadyrov murder of Zelensky and the capture of the government in Kiev - WSJ
According to intelligence, three weeks before the invasion of Ukraine, Putin summoned Kadin to Moscow to draw up a strategy and instructed him the capture of Kiev and the murder of the President of Ukraine. While Kadyrov's troops trained in Belarus, the head of Chechnya addressed Zelensky, writing on February 14 on his Telegram that "the time of the clown was ending.
" According to the NSDC head Alexei Danilov, the task of the murder of Zelensky was desirable for the performers - "a kind of bonus they provided Kadyrov. " The Kadyrov troops entered Ukraine on February 25, the next day after the invasion, three columns of armored vehicles, one of which was less than completely destroyed in the outskirts of Kiev, and two others did not reach the capital, according to the publication.
WSJ journalists refer to a video that has been intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence and which was later shown to representatives of the publication. On it, the Chechen military reports the beginning of the mission of his boss. "Time is exactly 00:00. We start traffic. More than one and a half thousand people, the best special forces, the best fighters," the officer said for video.
An unsuccessful attempt has become a harbinger of great difficulty for Putin and Kadyrov, and Zelensky not only survived but also succeeded. The Kremlin Prescribe Dmitry Peskov denies these statements, he called them absurd, meaningless and false. After the unsuccessful blitzkrig, Kadyrov began hidden mobilization among Chechnya residents.
Representatives of the authorities in the region and religious figures in public places went to public places, such as video game clubs and gyms, and offered 300 thousand rubles (or $ 4,600) a month for Chechens who will agree to go to the war. One of the inhabitants of the republic, who managed to escape in August, told about it. According to him, some of his neighbors and friends still signed short -term contracts with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Kadyrov's special services were recruiting the most vulnerable-men with debts, convictions or suspects in belonging to the LGBT community, the locals and human rights activists said. A 37-year-old Chechen, who was sentenced to a critical message to Kadyrov at WhatsApp, said that a police officer who was engaged in his case suggested that he went to war and threatened prison for refusing to appear in the nearest military enlistment office.
But instead, the man, according to which, his two neighbors returned home in sanitary bags, preferred to hide from power. "I have experienced two wars with Moscow not to go to die for Putin to Ukraine," he explained. After the announcement of "partial mobilization" Kadyrov stated that four new battalions were formed in Chechnya. Local authorities are repression against their own population. According to local residents and human rights groups, thousands of men are forced to go to the front.
Subsequently, the role of Chechen units in Ukraine changed. Since the end of summer, they have been used as barrier units, a representative of Ukrainian intelligence reported. Cadirovtsi also conduct a "cleaning" in the occupied territories. They search for spies and guerrillas, go from home to home, search for housing, interrogate and torture Ukrainian citizens. Recall that negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine may not be several more years. About it reports Politico.
