Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov recorded a video report on a special operation in Ukraine. It was published on his Telegram channel. The head of the republic expressed the opinion that there is now no one to negotiate with in the neighboring country, because first a new vertical of power needs to be created.
According to him, it is first necessary to appoint an acting head of the region. Then, as in the Chechen Republic, you have to start forming branches of power.
“Ask people what they want, how they want to live, what their main problems are,” he added. According to Kadyrov, there is now no vertical power in Ukraine. In this regard, he does not understand the statements that it is necessary to negotiate or withdraw troops from Donetsk and Luhansk. Kadyrov is sure that there is no power in Ukraine, only a “bandit group”.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the chances of successful negotiations with Russia were diminishing. “Our company does not want us to continue negotiations,” he added.
Before that, Zelensky said that Kyiv would stop negotiations with Moscow if military personnel surrounded in Mariupol were destroyed. In an interview with the Ukrainian online media, he also noted that the peace agreement with the Russian Federation could consist of two separate documents. One would deal with security guarantees for Ukraine and the other with its relations with Moscow.
Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin noted that Ukraine had changed its position and the status of Crimea, Sevastopol and Donbas after the Istanbul Round. It was originally said that these areas would not be covered by security guarantees.
