The Daily Beast reports that Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov has threatened to attack Poland, suggesting that Russia begin purging it of Nazism and disarming it after Ukraine is emptied.

The newspaper quoted Kadyrov, the main ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as saying in a post on his Instagram account the day before yesterday, Monday, "What if, after the successful completion of the military operation in Ukraine, Russia begins to cleanse and disarm the next country of Nazism?"

"In the end, Poland comes after Ukraine on the map," Kadyrov added.

"I will not hide that I have such an intention, and I have repeatedly stated that the struggle against Satanism should continue throughout Europe, and first and foremost the Polish lands," the Chechen president said.

The newspaper pointed out that Kadyrov warned on Tuesday that the time has come for the West to kneel before Russia, and predicted that the "special military operation" in Ukraine would end before the end of this year.

"The special (military) operation will end before the end of this year. European countries will admit that they were wrong, and the West will kneel, and, as usual, European countries will have to cooperate with the Russian Federation in various fields," Kadyrov was quoted as saying by the Russian News Agency (Tass).

According to The Daily Beast, Polish authorities are concerned that Russia is still looking to invade the country, and Marek Magerowski, the Polish ambassador to the United States, warned this week that Poland could be Russia's next target.

Relations between Russia and Poland have been strained since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the tension reached its climax last year when a missile landed in Polish territory, later revealed to have come from Ukraine.

Polish President Andrzej Duda said at the time that his country is likely to ask the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to activate Article 4 of the Alliance Charter, in light of the fall of a missile on a village in eastern Poland near the Ukrainian border.

Article IV allows any NATO member state to request consultations with allies if it feels its territorial integrity, political independence or security is under threat.
