Kadyrov vows to defend Russian Muslims from European "satanic abominations"

Chechen people at the war in Ukraine defend the interests of the Russian Federation, their traditions and religion, according to the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, RIA Novosti reports.

"We will defend to the end the interests of our state, traditions, family customs and religion. Our ancestors did not live for centuries by adat and defended the Koran so that today mentally ill Europeans would impose their satanic abomination on us," Kadyrov said at a ceremonial formation of Chechen security units at the Khankala military unit.

The Chechen leader also promised that additional special regiments would be sent to Ukraine in the near future.

"Every day volunteers come to the republic, who trust our instructors and want to join Akhmat units. This is the consolidation of Russian society, which Akhmat-Khaji (Kadyrov – Ed.) and Vladimir Putin dreamed of," added Ramzan Kadyrov.

According to the politician, the Chechens have proved that they are an integral part of the large Russian family.

As the UOJ reported, according to Kadyrov, thousands of Muslims defend their religious values in the war in Ukraine.
