Putin met with Akhmat Kadyrov, Ramzan's son.
It's the 1st time in 20 years that another person is meeting with Putin on behalf of Chechnya.
Remember, a short 20 years ago Russia flattened Grozny for their terror attacks on Russia ( Beslan, Belshoi theatre)….today Chechnya is spilling their blood for Vlad…..think about that
Bakhmut fell. 🏳 white flags are waving.
This kid has the required Islamic beard at age 16? When his dad keels over, and soon, he can take over as generalissimo of Chechnya. Ramzan Kadyrov inherited Chechen leadership from his father. Putin bribes Chechnya with 3 billion dollars a year or so, to not rebel. Chechnya has only 1.4 million population.
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for March 6, 2023:
- Russian forces continue the encirclement of Bakhmut;
- Western media admits Russian operations around Bakhmut is exhausting Ukrainian forces and may diminish them ahead of an anticipated Ukrainian spring offensive;
- US announces another military assistance package for Ukraine with fewer items listed and absent of any specific quantities despite previous packages featuring such information;
-Ukraine has urgently asked the West for more artillery shells in particular, highlighting the inability for Western industry to match or exceed Russian military industrial output;
- German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall claims to be considering building a tank factory in Ukraine. Older articles claim only if approved by the German government and after the conflict is over, newer articles suggest the factory may be built sooner;
- Ukrainian pilots are in the US to assess their skills for potential training on US warplanes (likely the F-16);
- Training Ukrainian pilots on F-16s or other Western warplanes will admittedly take years, if F-16s arrive in Ukraine beforehand they will likely be Western operators posing as Ukrainian pilots;
