Social network users from Dagestan outraged by Kadyrov's call for self-mobilization

Governors should not react to the call of the head of Chechnya to send a thousand volunteers each to Ukraine, while Ramzan Kadyrov himself could set an example by sending his children and sons of Chechen high-ranking officials to the war zone. This was stated by social network users from Dagestan.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on September 15, the head of Chechnya called on the governors of Russian regions to announce self-mobilization in order to form detachments and send them to Ukraine.

Commentators on Instagram* were outraged by the fact that Kadyrov had appealed to governors, saying that only the supreme commander can do this.

"Who is he (Kadyrov) in this business? Are governors in command of the army?" the user m_88_88_y has asked. "Has Kadyrov become more important than the president?" the user natalie_73di has supported him.

Most users have called on Kadyrov and other officials to set an example by sending their children to Ukraine.

"It would be very nice if at least one leader of the region, together with deputies and officials, went on the special operation in Ukraine," the user akhmedmagomedov326 believes.

Let us note here that Kadyrov is regularly reporting about sending volunteers trained in Gudermes to Ukraine. However, Chechnya does not stand out from other regions in terms of the number of fighters sent to Ukraine, Alexander Khramchikhin, an expert, has pointed out.
