The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, promised to send three minor sons – 16-year-old Akhmat, 15-year-old Eli and 14-year-old Adam – to the war in Ukraine. He posted a video of his kids training on Telegram.
According to Kadyrov, young age "should not interfere with the training of the defenders of the Motherland." In the description of the video, he indicated that the military training of his sons began "almost from an early age", they are taught how to handle weapons, use them at any distance and the theoretical foundations of military affairs.
“I always believed that the main goal of any father is to instill in his sons the fear of God and teach them to protect the family, the people, the Fatherland. If you want peace, prepare for war! Akhmat, Eli and Adam are ready to use their skills in the NWO zone. And I'm not kidding. It's time to show themselves in a real fight, and this is their desire, I only welcome. Soon they will go to the front line and will be on the most difficult sections of the line of contact.”
Kadyrov said that those who claimed that his relatives “do not take part in the NWO” will now have the opportunity to “go into position with the guys and see for themselves that Akhmat is a force!”
Kadyrov claims that Chechnya does not participate in the mobilization, as it has overfulfilled the norm for conscription. At the same time, people from Buryatia, despite the “overfulfilled” plan, are massively taken to war, pulling them out of bed at night and delivering them to military enlistment offices.
In August, the head of Chechnya received another award: the title of "Hero of the LPR". At the end of July, Putin awarded him the Order of Alexander Nevsky "for his great contribution to the socio-economic development of the Chechen Republic and the effective solution of tasks of great national importance." Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kadyrov has actively supported Putin's statements, commenting on them on his Telegram channel with 2.95 million subscribers. So, on September 15, the head of Chechnya called for "self-mobilization" in every region of Russia. Almost a week later, on September 21, Putin announced a "partial" mobilization, and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu promised to call up 300,000 "reservists."
