US EditionUS Should Topple Chechen Leader After Maduro, Zelenskyy Says
Zelensky cited the U.S. operation that removed Venezuelan leader Maduro as precedent, saying removing Chechen leader Kadyrov could pressure Moscow and make Putin reconsider Ukraine actions.
- On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the United States to carry out an operation to remove Ramzan Kadyrov, citing the U.S. seizure of Nicolás Maduro last Saturday.
- Kadyrov has been head of Chechnya since 2007 and sent thousands of fighters to Ukraine, while Ukraine has battled a full-scale Russian invasion for almost four years.
- Using a blunt appeal, Zelensky said `They need to put pressure on Russia. They have the tools, they know how. And when they really want to, they can find them` and argued deposing Kadyrov would make Putin think twice, calling for U.S. action.
- At a Kyiv press conference, Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, joked laughing and smiling that if the U.S. can seize dictators, it could target Vladimir Putin, President of Russia next.
- Zelensky argues the Maduro operation showed the United States could pressure Moscow, and removing Ramzan Kadyrov, who advocated extreme options including a nuclear strike, would make Vladimir Putin think twice.
