War Between Kadyrov And Kremlin Gaining Momentum

Russia may have to withdraw troops from the front.

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has threatened to declare a blood feud against a senator and two deputies of the Russian State Duma if they do not prove that they did not order his murder.

According to Russian opposition political strategist Abbas Gallyamov, this statement by Kadyrov is equivalent to a bomb exploding right in the center of the Russian political system.

“Kadyrov is not just the head of a region, but a federal figure, one of the top figures in the system. Of course, the Kremlin will try to curb this situation. It is impossible to leave everything as is, because this is too obvious a blow directly to the foundation of the regime in terms of public opinion and the mood of the elites,” the analyst said in an interview for the YouTube channel “Fabrika Novostey”.

The Kremlin will not risk removing Kadyrov and will negotiate with him, Gallyamov believes. Otherwise, dissatisfied Chechnya may declare its secession from the Russian Federation, and this is too serious a risk for the regime. In this case, Putin will have to withdraw troops from the Donbas and throw them into Chechnya, which will essentially mean the end of his rule.

“Right now, Putin depends on Kadyrov to a much greater extent than Kadyrov depends on Putin. Yes, Ramzan receives finances from Russia, but in principle, he can go for broke and break off relations with Moscow. He has already accumulated resources and is quite self-sufficient. Putin and the security officers understand this, so they will swallow the situation once again,” the expert predicted.
