A powerful warlord close to Putin has demanded that Russia use nuclear weapons against the UK for providing depleted uranium shells to Kyiv.
Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, made a public appearance once more last week amid rumors that he had been poisoned.
Since then, he has claimed to be “absolutely” healthy, despite being a little bloated, and has resumed his irrational rants in support of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
He asserted that “Western nations have long been open about their derogatory rhetoric toward Russia.”
This time, Britain almost seems to be bragging about its intention to give Ukraine DU shells.
‘They have even managed to “reassure” everyone that it is not radioactive uranium.
‘In Russia there are a thousand times fewer fools who are not aware of the properties of heavy metal.’
He warned: ‘I will not mention consequences of usage of such dirty shells….’
Kadyrov then urged Putin to ‘demonstrate once to the West the consequences of uranium contamination on their own territories – then the desire to argue about this topic will disappear by itself.’
Meanwhile, ex-president Dmitry Medvedev, who is now Putin’s deputy in the Kremlin’s high-powered security council, defended the bloody war and claimed Ukraine was part of Russia.
While he admitted Putin is acting like gangster Al Capone in Ukraine, he blamed the west and warned the conflict could go on for ‘decades’.
‘As we know, a kind word and a gun brings more results than a kind word alone – this is attributed to Al Capone, although he never said it,’ Medvedev said.
‘But it is unfortunately an immutable fact of modern political life…’
Medvedev has his finger on Russia’s nuclear button and warned any attempt to arrest Putin for war crimes would be seen as a declaration of war.

The UN and multiple human rights agencies have detailed a ‘vast network’ of detention facilities and convoys in which civilians are systematically forced out of their homes by invading Russian soldiers.
The warrant seeks to haul him before a tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, for allegedly trafficking Ukrainian children from occupied territories into Russia.
‘Let us imagine – obviously, this is a situation that will never come to be, yes – but let us imagine that it has indeed happened,’ Medvedev said.
‘An incumbent president of a nuclear power comes to, for example, Germany, and got arrested.
‘What is it? A declaration of war against the Russian Federation.
‘In this case, all our means [firepower] will fly to the Bundestag, the chancellor’s office and so on.’
