"We have not yet received an official communication, continue to lead" Chechnya: so the Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov after Ramzan Kadyrov's announcement of an "indefinite and long" break from his post, given yesterday in a video message.
Interfax reports it.
"President Putin has seen reports of Kadyrov's possible resignation," Peskov said, "but nothing has yet materialized in any way."
The Kremlin therefore "starts from the assumption that it continues to lead Chechnya," he added.
Yesterday In a video posted on Telegram, Kadyrov, who has ruled the Russian Chechen Republic with an iron fist since 2007, said he "realized that he had sat for a long time" in his position of power and that "he is time has come "to leave.
"I think it's my time before the others kick me out," he added.
This morning, however, Kadyrov came back on video and claimed that the detachment of the Chechen special forces 'Akhmat' and the second corps of the Lugansk People's Republic have launched a large-scale offensive in the Donetsk People's Republic.
"Our fighters - said Kadyrov as reported by Ria Novosti - are actively advancing in the direction of Soledar, Yakovlevka, Seversk. The pause that has been sustained for tactical purposes lately has been fully justified. I will not reveal all the secrets, but thank you. to the plan we have developed, the enemy has revealed all his positions, "he says in the publication.
