Kadyrov condemned Zionist Israel for attacking Iran

Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov supported Iran in its defense against an Israeli attack. In his Telegram channel, he described the reaction of the Iranian military as "tactically correct" and accused Israel of provocation aimed at creating a new hot spot in the Middle East.

"Having felt their impunity in the genocide of the Palestinian people, the Zionists decided to provoke Iran now and create another hot spot on the world map. For decades, we have heard information leaks from the Zionists that Iran is about to create nuclear weapons. Thirty years ago it was "any minute" and "on the threshold", twenty years ago "any minute", ten years ago also "any minute". Where is it? It is probably in the same place as the Iraqi nuclear weapons. Under the pretext of the possibility of nuclear weapons, they ironed out all of Iraq, killed Saddam Hussein, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, threw the country back decades, and are now going to do the same with Iran,” Kadyrov shared his conclusions.

The head of Chechnya emphasized that Iran does not refuse international inspections and is working on enriching peaceful nuclear fuel, while Western countries and Israel have been spreading statements for decades about Tehran’s alleged imminent creation of nuclear weapons in order to justify possible aggressive actions.

Kadyrov added that the international community needs to ask a more important question: how many nuclear warheads does Israel have and why should its military nuclear program cause less concern than Iran’s peaceful one?

Ruben Vardanyan Drops Appeal Against 20-Year Sentence in Azerbaijan
25 February 2026

Billionaire and former Nagorno-Karabakh state minister Ruben Vardanyan, sentenced in Baku to 20 years in prison, rejected the legal force of the ruling and dropped his appeal. His family explained that this decision stemmed from the fact that, in their view, the trial was a "staged performance" rather than a proper trial: the hearings were held behind closed doors, without access to independent observers, and the prosecution's motions were ignored. The full text of the verdict was also not released.

Chechnya Leads in Lowest Alcohol Sales
25 February 2026

In 2025, residents of the North Caucasus regions consumed the least amount of hard liquor in Russia. The lowest official retail sales figures were recorded in Chechnya (0.01 liters per capita). Other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District also demonstrated modest figures: Ingushetia - 0.7 liters, Dagestan - 2.2 liters, Kabardino-Balkaria - 2.6 liters, North Ossetia - 3 liters, and Karachay-Cherkessia - 3.4 liters. Experts attribute this decline to the prevalence of cultural and religious restrictions, as well as a preference for low-alcohol beverages.
