A fierce and bloody power struggle is expected in Chechnya.

This was announced by the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov on the air of the telethon on September 19.

"The problem of any hardened and authoritarian government is that it is difficult to "shine" a successor in advance, and it is difficult to prepare it. Whatever the plans, there will be a fierce struggle for both Kadyrov's and Putin's succession. And everyone will take part in this struggle: both from above in Moscow and inside among Kadyrov's entourage... This is a completely illegitimate process, it will be a tough and definitely bloody struggle. After all, they built such a system for themselves," he said.

Yusov added that those forces that for years have rightly counted on the right of the Chechen people to independence and their own state, will certainly receive a new impetus and new tools for such a struggle.

"In the end, Ukraine recognizes the right of the Chechen people to their own state and independence of Ichkeria, as well as the fact that it is now illegally occupied by Muscovy," the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence summed up.

Recall that the representative of the Chechen diaspora explained why Moscow is silent about Kadyrov.
