Kadyrov, President of the Russian republic of Chechnya, is said to be threatening further attacks on Ukrainian cities in the Ukraine war.

"There will be an offensive not only on Mariupol, but also on other places, towns and villages," said the son of the republic's ruler, Akhmat Kadyrov, who died in 2004.

These military forces* from the autonomous republic are assigned to the Russian military and are fighting for the country of Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine war.

In a video published by Telegram, the 45-year-old explained that the cities of Luhansk and Donetsk would first be "completely liberated", followed by Kyiv and other regions.

"Fighters from the Chechen Republic, together with the military personnel of the Russian Federation and Donbass, are successfully performing the tasks set by the leadership of our state in strict accordance with the plan," Kadyrov told his followers in the video message.

Western media often refer to Kadyrov as Vladimir Putin's "bloodhound".

Ukraine war: Selenskyj on the phone with Scholz - and praises German "change"

First report :

Moscow/Kiev – On Sunday, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyj spoke to Chancellor Olaf Scholz on the phone.

It was about three specific things in the course of the Ukraine conflict: how to hold war criminals accountable, how to tighten sanctions against Russia and how to get Russia to seek peace.

While the Ukrainian side blames Russia entirely, the attacking country takes the opposite view.

Important in connection with the escalation in Ukraine are the predecessors that took place between 2014 and 2021 in the east.

"They grabbed Crimea, we're supposedly to blame for that," said the President of Ukraine.

"They destroyed every normal life in the Donbass." The head of government was also pleased that the German position had "changed in favor of Ukraine" recently.

The Russian side explains that since the government coup in Ukraine* (2014), the Russian-born population in this part of the country has been increasingly harassed, expelled and even killed.
