Kadyrov: If I were instead of the president, I would have taken Ukraine long ago and sent troops there

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that if he were the President of the Russian Federation, he would have already sent troops to Ukraine in order to “put things in order there.”

“Now they came up with Ukraine. And what, Russia should give way to Western countries, which are 9 thousand kilometers between Ukraine and America? And America protects the interests of Ukraine, and the closest neighbor for Ukraine is Russia. These are Slavic peoples, don. Who does not understand that America does not want anything good for Ukraine? On the contrary, they dictate their conditions against Russia, they need the state to set up bases there,” Kadyrov said live on Instagram.

According to him, understanding people in Ukraine should resist this. “And if not, then Russia should take action. If I had been instead of the president, I would have taken Ukraine a long time ago, sent troops there, and put things in order. If crazy, corrupt people are at the head of the state and threaten our security through this state, should we be silent? – said the head of Chechnya.

According to him, if Russia had not intervened in the situation in Syria, “then today people would be killed and blown up in our country.” “The same thing – from Ukraine it will all go to Russia, so we need to take preventive measures,” Kadyrov said.

“So politicians, political scientists who are engaged in nonsense – I’m telling you – if the whole world is against it, I will be with the president, I will be with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, because I owe him my life three times,” summed up the head of the Chechen Republic.

On the same air, Kadyrov said that the Russian government annually allocates 300 billion rubles for the maintenance of the Chechen Republic, and without these funds the region would not have survived.
