Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who was in the audience when Putin announced the annexation on Friday, was furious at the news of the withdrawal.
Kadyrov declares that if it were his decision, he would take revenge on the person Major-General Aleksandr Lapin responsible for the military operation in Lyman.
I, Major General Aleksandër Lapin, would pull the medals from his chest and send them to the front with a machine gun to wash away his shame with blood”, he says.
The Chechen leader also has another ominous call for Putin. He wants tactical nuclear weapons to be deployed against Ukrainian targets after Lyman’s defeat.
“We must take tougher measures, including a state of emergency in the border regions and the use of tactical nuclear weapons,” Kadyrov wrote.
