Across the world, including in Ukraine and Europe, commemorating the victims of Stalin's deportation of Chechens and Ingush people are currently taking place.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, recently threatened Ukraine with "revenge in the fullest sense of the word" in connection with the drone attacks on Moscow. Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, reacted to his statement. “Kadyrov should take revenge on Moscow and Putin personally, and not threaten Ukraine. It was the Russians who killed and destroyed the Chechens. It was the Russians who brought centuries of slavery to the Chechen land, thousands of murdered and tortured women and children, destroyed cities and desecrated graves of their ancestors. It was not the Ukrainians who leveled Grozny with tanks, along with its civilians, they were Russian tanks. The Chechen people remember this, and for those who have forgotten, it's time to remember!” Danilov said.
