Kadyrov came to Ukrainian prisoners of war and suggested they shoot themselves: video

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, made a number of provocative statements about Ukrainian prisoners of war during his so-called "direct line" with Grozny residents.

Kadyrov, together with his guards, brought 12 Ukrainian prisoners of war to the meeting. One of them he offered to shoot himself, providing him with a pistol.

I will give you a gun now, will you shoot yourself?" - he addressed the prisoner. The Ukrainian soldier refused, explaining that he wanted to live. To this, Kadyrov stated:
"You came out to kill, to die. I will give you a gun, you will shoot yourself, you will die like a hero. You don't want to, do you? He wants to kill, but he doesn't want to die. It doesn't work like that! In war, you kill and die. You have to think first. This isn't a cartoon.

To whom exactly the sentence was addressed remains unknown.

In addition, Kadyrov said that Ukrainian prisoners of war should be placed on the roofs of strategic sites that are tracked by Western satellites. He explained:

'It's as if you have come from a holiday. It is necessary to put them all on the roofs of the objects that have been captured by American satellites. Let them guard our territory," Kadyrov said.
