The Guardian: Chechen leader tells soldiers to fire on unapproved Russian troops in region
Ramzan Kadyrov instructs security forces to shoot at soldiers from other regions operating in Chechnya without his permission
Chechnya’s leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has told his security forces to open fire on Russian federal troops if they operate in the region without his approval.
He told his troops they could shoot at unauthorised soldiers from other regions after the killing of a man in the Chechen capital, Grozny, by security forces from a neighbouring region.
Kadyrov said: “I would like to officially state: open fire if someone from Moscow or Stavropol, it doesn’t matter, appears on your turf without your knowledge. We have to be reckoned with.”
WNU Editor: This sounds more like .... shoot first, ask questions later. This is also tells me that relations between Moscow and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov may not be as "rosy" as in the past .... and that serious differences may now be starting to come between them. There also is more to this story than what is being said.
