Chechnya’s leader tells Putin to ‘shut your eyes to everything’ and let military commanders unleash a blitzkrieg of savagery in Ukraine and ‘finish it all in a day or two’
A key ally of Vladimir Putin has called for a blitzkrieg of savagery to be unleashed in Ukraine to force a surrender ‘within a day or two’.
Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya who holds the rank of Major-General in the Russian National Guard and whose forces are deployed in Ukraine, is urging the despot to bombard Ukraine into submission to spare further Russian losses.
He told Putin to ‘shut your eyes to everything, and allow us to finish it all’.

The powerful Kadyrov – who has Putin’s ear and has been likened to the son he never had – said Russia’s current military tactics are too soft.
In an audio message to Putin, the 45-year-old said: ‘Comrade President, Comrade Supreme Commander – I have said multiple times that I am your humble footman, that I am ready to give my life for you.
‘But I cannot keep looking at my – and our – fighters dying, our defence ministry forces, national guards and others…
‘I am strongly asking you to shut your eyes to everything, and allow us to finish it all within a day or two.

‘Only this will save our state and our people, this is my strong belief.’
His public call is a clear sign of frustration in Russia at the failure to seize Kyiv and Kharkiv at speed, and will be seen as an admission that Kremlin forces have stalled.
Kadyrov’s Chechen fighters are already reported to have been foiled as they sought to assassinate Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
Kadyrov – a former fighter both against and for Russian forces during two wars in Chechnya – has a reputation for brutality with accusations in the West that he has ordered extra judicial killing.
As well as the head of the Chechen Republic, he was in 2020 made a Major-General by Putin.

He told the Kremlin leader to abandon ‘useless’ negotiations and draft ceasefires or peace deals with the Ukrainians and speed up the war.
‘All these negotiations are useless, the longer we wait, the more sanctions they produce,’ he said, referring to the West.
‘All these papers, negotiations are no good.. they can shove these papers up where they want to.
‘As a fighter, as a general, I cannot watch our fighters getting killed not in a fight but while waiting, from shooting by these devils, these Bandera people, these Nazis.
‘I am sure that you will make the right decision and order to completely take Ukraine, and to destroy these demons.
‘The people of Ukraine will stand next to us against these devils.’
