In in interview with the Daily Telegraph online newspaper, Ramzan Kadyrov, a 33-year-old former rebel turned Kremlin loyalist, said Russia should draft a new military strategy to resist the United States and other Western powers, which are stoking disorder in the north Caucasus to destroy Russia.
`Ramzan Kadyrov, a 33-year-old former rebel turned Kremlin loyalist, said that last year`s attack by Georgia, which is a US ally, on the pro-Russian rebel region of South Ossetia was part of a Western plot to seize the whole Caucasus region.
`If they get control of the Caucasus, you could say they`ll get control of virtually all of Russia, because the Caucasus is our backbone,` Kadyrov said. `The Russian government needs to work out a strategy, it needs to attack,` the Chechen president said.
`…Georgia, South Ossetia, Ukraine, all this will go on and on. It`s Russia`s private affliction. Why should we always suffer if we can eradicate this for good? We are a great power, we have everything – an army, technology. We need to attack.` Kadirov said.
The president of Chechnya accused the west of provoking last year’s war in Caucasus.
