Thu 15 June 2023:
Many people were shocked by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s request for assistance from Ukraine, given his prior aggressive rhetoric and threats against Ukraine.
According to reports, Kadyrov’s cousin and close ally, Adam Delimkhanov, was injured in an alleged Ukrainian-led attack. Delimkhanov’s exact location and condition are unknown.
In his plea, Kadyrov stated that he was unable to contact Delimkhanov personally and asked Ukrainian intelligence to offer information on the location of the attack.
He offered a generous reward in exchange for assistance in locating his cousin. This unexpected appeal highlights the significance of Delimkhanov to Kadyrov and the potential desperation he may be feeling in this situation.
Ukrainian government adviser Anton Gerashchenko commented on Telegram, suggesting that if Delimkhanov was indeed targeted by Ukrainian artillery, it was not a coincidence.
Gerashchenko also noted that Delimkhanov holds a powerful position as the second most influential figure in Chechnya and is regarded as one of Kadyrov’s most trusted allies.
The fact that Kadyrov, who typically portrays himself as an ardent Ukraine critic and advocates for harsher actions against Kyiv, is now seeking assistance from Ukraine reveals the severity of the situation.
