In his Telegram channel, he refuted the information of Western and Ukrainian media, which launched another fake that in Russia there is supposedly a market “from where we purchase Ukrainian prisoners of war for their subsequent exchange for captured Chechens.”

“Today the Chechen Republic is a subject of Russia where law and order operate.

And when we rescue our prisoners, we never look at their nation or religion,” Kadyrov added.

Earlier, the governor of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, spoke about strong changes in the views of captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers.
