The President of the Russian Republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, spoke of the desire to form an army to protect the oppressed peoples of the so-called democratic countries.
"Recently, I have been thinking more about creating a good army so that they can move to different countries and protect the peoples who encroach on those countries that consider themselves the most democratic," Kadyrov said.
Kadyrov added that he wanted a "specially trained" team of people from all over the world who, according to him, should be patriots willing to sacrifice their lives "not for a penny, but for the order."
"This is a very difficult path, but we are striving for it and moving forward," he added.
In February, Kadyrov spoke of plans to establish a private military company after he finishes his job in the civil service, then expressed confidence in the success of this project.
Zakharova talks about severing diplomatic relations with Poland
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that Russia has the right to sever diplomatic relations with Poland, but this will primarily affect Russians who live and work there.
She said on the air of the program “Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” on the TV channel “Russia-1”: “Who is the first to suffer from such decisions? What's happening now. I'm talking about our compatriots who live there, work there, and have families."
She pointed to another category of people who may find themselves in a vulnerable position are citizens, and those people who have Polish passports and passports of other countries.
And the State Department spokeswoman referred to another category: “Let us not forget and let us remind each other of the number of people who have left, because they have no other choice, from the territory of Ukraine through the territory of Poland recently, and who, including the Polish authorities, did not have the opportunity to pass through Kaliningrad.” Or Belarus, to get to the lands close to their regions, but on the territory of Russia. And many of them stayed there. That is, all these people need help. What kind? Registration of documents, issuance of certificates, confirmation of their status. This is a huge job."
"In addition, representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry are also involved in the restoration of memorials in Poland. They need to defend the integrity of Soviet monuments, given the number of incidents of vandalism in the country," Zakharova adds.
On Saturday, local authorities and police in Warsaw stormed the Russian Embassy School and broke down the door. Andrzej Ordash, Counselor and Envoy of the Russian Embassy in Poland, said the school staff had been told they had to leave the building before 6 p.m.
For its part, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Warsaw's "brazen" move "will not remain without a harsh response and consequences for the Polish authorities and Poland's interests in Russia."
