The leader of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, has strongly denounced the mutiny carried out by the Wagner Group, a paramilitary organization loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a statement released on Saturday, Kadyrov expressed his readiness to assist in quelling the rebellion.
“This is a knife in the back,” Kadyrov declared, referring to the actions of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenaries. He further emphasized that Chechen units were en route to the “zones of tension” to safeguard Russia’s forces and protect its sovereignty.
Key Details about the Wagner Rebellion against the Russian Military
Kadyrov urged Russian soldiers to remain vigilant and avoid falling into any “provocations,” as he issued his warning through the messaging platform Telegram. Reports indicate that Chechen soldiers have already arrived in the Rostov region on Saturday morning. Social media videos have captured the sight of Chechen tanks heading towards the Russian army headquarters in Rostov-on-Don, where Wagner troops are believed to be stationed.
According to various journalists’ accounts on social media, the Chechen military is just “15 minutes away from Rostov.”
