In his interview with The Telegraph, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov stated that Ukraine is Russia’s “private affliction” that should be treated by means of attack. The President considers that last year’s attack by Georgia on South Ossetia is the part of West’s plan to capture the Caucasus. Thus, he underlined that Russia has to work out a strategy, adding that “it needs to attack.”

“Georgia, South Ossetia, Ukraine, all this will go on and on. It is 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,” Kadyrov told Telegraph.
