“We need to do something about this”: Kadyrov spoke out against Peskov
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, sharply criticized Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov, who the day before acquitted TV presenter Ivan Urgant, who had gone abroad after the start of a special operation in Ukraine, and even called him a “great patriot.”
“I didn’t know, but it turns out that in order to become a patriot of your country, you need to criticize the actions of Russia, go abroad, loudly and pretentiously, creating a sensation around the person, and then, when the political degree of confrontation drops, return back, no matter how what never happened. Working diagram, use. Ivan Urgant did something like this, for which he recently received the “great patriot” rating from Dmitry Peskov,” Kadyrov sarcastically commented.
He draws attention to the fact that Peskov avoids assessing the actions of the Chechen fighters taking part in the liberation of Mariupol from the Ukrainian Nazis.
“It’s so easy to be a patriot, isn’t it? This is not for you to run between brick piles and concrete walls with your uniform. And don’t sit in a cold trench for several days. Apparently, we did not notice how the very concept of “patriotism” was revalued.
I was actually surprised when Peskov did not comment on awarding me the rank of lieutenant general, allegedly because he had not seen the decree. We are here with all the security forces and volunteers conducting a special operation day and night. You could have somehow encouraged or commented more delicately, instead of your “I didn’t see the decree.” But a coward who ran away at a moment of instability, supposedly on vacation, and returned back at a moment of calm on the political scene, supposedly from vacation, is a true patriot.
It's still a strange way of thinking these days. Heroes cannot be called heroes, generals are not called generals, cowardly fugitives are called patriots and even great ones. Peskov’s scale of priorities is somehow immature. We need to do something about this...” concluded Kadyrov.
