Kadyrov pledged that Russia would reach Poland's borders

Chechen guerrilla leader Ramzan Kadyrov has said that he intends to "take" Odessa, Kiev and Kharkiv and reach Poland. Kadyrov's speech was published by Russian mass media.

We will take both Odessa, and Kharkiv and Kiev, and we will reach Poland," Kadyrov said.

At the same time, he said that he was not afraid of Western tanks or other equipment, as "the Russian Federation has air defence.

Let me reassure people, the tanks they give us don't mean anything at all. They have tanks, and armoured personnel carriers, and planes, but there is no possibility of using them in a 'special operation', because our air defence system works quickly," Kadyrov said.

He did not explain the link between the work of the Russian air defence system and tanks on the battlefield.

Kadyrov added that representatives of different nations and religions have united in Russia to kill Ukrainians, and the Russian military during the "special operation" shows such results that "NATO and the European Union could not even dream of".

It should be noted that Akhmed Zakayev, head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria abroad, told FREEDOM in an interview that Kadyrov was ill, that he had already become an addict and that he had been taking certain pills for 15 years.
