Kadyrov denied statements about the exchange of nationalist Taira for the son of his deputy chairman in Crimea

Kadyrov noted that he "declares with all responsibility" that such reports are not true.

According to the head of Chechnya, Adam Gritsenko is a citizen of Ukraine and, according to his father, "is still captured in his own country."

“Changing Ukrainian citizens for Ukrainian Nazis is not my prerogative, and such issues are not within my competence,” he said.

Kadyrov also recommended “all kinds of unscrupulous journalists who are promoting on this topic” to reinforce with specific facts the replicated information. 

“By spreading unproven and absolutely false versions, you run the risk of falling under Article 207.3 of the Russian Criminal Code,” said the head of Chechnya.

Earlier, Kadyrov announced the liberation of the village of Toshkovka in the Luhansk People's Republic.
