Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya and an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said today that Moscow should consider using low-yield nuclear weapons in Ukraine after fresh defeats on the battlefield.

In a Telegram post criticizing Russian commanders for abandoning the city of Liman in eastern Ukraine, Kadyrov writes: “In my opinion, more drastic measures should be taken, up to the declaration of martial law in the border areas and the use of small nuclear weapons”.

As is known, the Chechen leader and his fighters had a decisive contribution to the capture of Mariupol by the Russians at the end of March.
