“I want to remind you that the head of the Russian state formulates the basis of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation.

And, to our universal joy, the head of the Russian state, which includes the Chechen Republic as a subject, is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, ”Peskov said.

Earlier, Kadyrov said that the United States is using Ukraine to deploy a military base on its territory, and if he were in the place of Russian President Vladimir Putin, "I would have taken Ukraine long ago."

In December last year, the head of Chechnya expressed the opinion that if Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky continues to pursue an anti-Russian policy, then Ukraine will need to be annexed to Russia.

According to Kadyrov, Western countries are interested in opening military bases in Ukraine and thus dictating their terms to Russia.

Later, Kadyrov called his personal opinion the statement about "the accession of Ukraine."
