No Need for Apologies: 'It Happens to Everyone' - Kadyrov
Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, has responded to the video shared by his assistant, Apti Alaudinov, regarding Ukrainian armed forces' captured soldiers. He expressed his views on his Telegram channel.
It should be noted that Alaudinov showed Ukrainian prisoners of war, one of whom had visible signs of injuries and bruises on his face. According to Kadyrov, Alaudinov should not apologize for the prisoners' injuries, as it is well-known that it was supposedly an unfortunate accident.
Regarding the bruises, Kadyrov mentioned, "Apti, there’s no need for apologies. We all know that the prisoner himself got those bruises by accidentally stepping on a shovel precisely when he was coming out of the besieged building. Well, it happens to everyone. Until the wedding goes on..." Kadyrov also emphasized that the most important thing is that the prisoner is alive. He stated that all Ukrainian soldiers would prefer to receive bruises rather than bullets.
