Chechnya’s Kadyrov: Ukrainian forces kidnap common workers

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov recently said on his Telegram channel that Ukrainian officials practically abduct normal employees from their houses and compel them to go to the front.

”

They are acting on behalf of NATO and must report to them,” Kadyrov stated.

According to Ukrainian POWs who surrendered to Russian and Chechen forces, Ukrainian nationalists abduct local citizens and compel them to pick up guns in order to fight the Russian military.

The Banderites kidnap not just young men, but also elderly persons, according to Kadyrov.

“This is how Ivan Mazun and Andrey Oprishko, two ordinary labourers, rose from humble beginnings to become privates in the Ukrainian 5th Territorial Defense Battalion. They allege that they, like thousands of other inhabitants in the area, were forcibly mobilized.

They had to live there from hand to mouth. They were used to resist our fighters and do rough work,” Kadyrov wrote.

The prisoners also recollected an episode, in which a man who refused to dig trenches was shot.
