Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov. Archival photoMOSCOW, April 19 The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, commenting on his Telegram channel the words of the commander of the Azov regiment that there were civilians on Azovstal, stressed that Russia has always supported organization of living corridors, and the «Azov fascists» use the civilian population as a human shield.
"Look at this vile hypocrisy and lies of the Azov criminals who have settled in the buildings "Azovstal". It was the Russian side that has always advocated organizing living corridors for civilians, providing them with protection, shelter, food, medical assistance, while the Azov fascists used them as human shields. If you, the scum of Azov, are so worried about the lives of civilians, what did you keep and keep them in basements? Why were they not allowed to leave when the Russian fighters provided corridors and announced a regime of silence?" Kadyrov wrote.
According to him, the answer is obvious: hostages were needed, and now the Azov criminals «decided to pretend to be saviors.» The head of the region emphasized that the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Russia Vladimir Putin is to save the civilian population. «And we always do this. And even the author of this video, we will also give a corridor, but to go through it, he will have to kneel down and beg for mercy. And otherwise, he and all the bandits who hid behind the backs of civilians will not have time to trample the land of Donbass,» Kadyrov added. *».
