As soon as Russian dictator is gone, Ichkeria will be free - Danilov

He shared his opinion in an interview with one of the Ukrainian outlets.

According to Danilov, Russia has a separate Russian army and Kadyrov's army. Therefore, if Putin did not give full freedom of action, would not allow Kadyrov and all his accomplices to do whatever they want in any city of the Russian Federation with impunity, then Ichkeria would have rebelled long ago and would be free. 

"They have such an agreement that Putin gives everything: money, preferences, opportunities, orders, everything. In exchange, Ichkeria remains part of Russia. As soon as Putin is gone, Ichkeria will become a free country. Either with Kadyrov or without Kadyrov, believe me, it will happen for sure and very, very quickly. Because it is a separate country that has nothing to do with the Russian Federation," Danilov said.

Another point, as he emphasizes, is that everyone knows, including Kadyrov, that it was Putin who gave the command to kill Kadyrov's father. And according to the laws that this nation has, there must be a mandatory response.

"Why Kadyrov does not do it is another conversation. In fact, Putin is afraid of Kadyrov. Because this is a man who can create a huge problem for him," Danilov said. 

Oleksiy Danilov also commented on the situation with Prigozhin.

"This is a person who was allowed to have huge financial capabilities through the development of budget funds, stealing, including the Russian army’s food, and many other processes. And now he has his own army called Wagner, which is doing a rather unpleasant job. Because these are hired killers, terrorists. And, of course, Prigozhin will have no future, because this man is the head of a terrorist organization. In general, today's Russia is a terrorist organization," he added.

On October 18, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine recognized the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation.

Experts of the Institute for the Study of War believe that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is dependent on the forces of the Wagner group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.

And Anzor Maskhadov, son of the former president of Ichkeria Aslan Maskhadov, says that the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov keeps most of the fighters close to him for the sake of his personal safety.
