Not sure if this has been posted yet, Kadyrov released a statement to the Ukrainians:
"Dear compatriots! So as not to give my detractors any cause for hysteria about me exceeding my authority, I am officially declaring - this is my personal opinion, the humble opinion of Russian citizen Ramzan Kadyrov.
There are two messages in my appeal to two addressees - to the Ukrainian authorities and to the Ukrainian people.
Mr. Zelensky, the time of clowning has come to an end. The time has come to fulfill our duty to our own people in order to avoid irreversible consequences. That is, today, more than ever, there is a need to implement the Minsk agreements, which are signed not only by the President of Russia, but also by the President of Ukraine. Strict implementation of the provisions spelled out in this document is the first crucial step in the political settlement of the growing confrontation not only between our countries, but also in the reduction of general tension in the global sense of the word. In this context, you, as the guarantor of the constitution and security of your people and state, are simply obliged to do your utmost to avoid bloodshed and establish peace. President Vladimir Putin and the peoples of Russia do not want war; we know firsthand the meaning of this terrible word. Be reasonable, Mr. Zelensky!
And now I want to appeal to Ukrainians. My dears, I love Ukraine and its good people. From the course of the History of the USSR, which I happened to listen to at school, I know that the cradle of Russian statehood and Orthodoxy is Kievan Rus'. Russians and Ukrainians are one Slavic people, with a common history, culture and religion. I will never believe that Ukrainians consider themselves part of the so-called "Western world" with all its degenerate "values" and Russophobic hysteria. Yes, that's right, despite the fact that the current anti-people regime and its propaganda are doing everything in their power to eradicate that sense of community. Somewhere in my heart I cherish the hope that this historical justice will be restored by the Ukrainian people themselves without outside help. It is impossible that the spiritual and historical heirs of the great hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky and the brilliant writer Nikolai Gogol would not want eternal peace with fraternal Russia!"
- Chechen President Ramazan Kadyrov
