The Ukrainian military has the right to surrender to the Russian army, the order of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov not to take prisoners has been cancelled, but Ukrainians must understand that Kyiv is refusing prisoners from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.
At the briefing, she recalled that Kadyrov had canceled his order not to take prisoners. “But citizens of Ukraine must understand that when they write and send their appeals, they must understand that their own leaders, who are literally throwing them arbitrariness of fate, even when the Russian Federation offers them these people for exchange, they refuse them.
People in Ukraine have been brought to such a state that they are ready to write an appeal to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in particular to Ramzan Kadyrov, behind their name, with their personal data, with feedback,” in order to somehow resolve the issue of their loved ones,” said Maria Zakharova.
Kadyrov ordered not to take prisoners of the Ukrainian Armed Forces after a Ukrainian drone attack on the territory of a special forces university in Chechnya. The head of the republic promised the enemy such retribution as he “never dreamed of.” Some time later, a retaliatory strike was struck against the control center for unmanned systems at the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The head of Chechnya then said that over the past few days his administration had received more than 2 thousand letters from Ukrainians asking them to cancel the order not to take prisoners.
