Kadyrov supported the UN decision and called Israel a "terrorist state."

The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, expressed his opinion regarding the UN's recognition of Israel's actions in Palestine as genocide. He stated that he was surprised by this decision, calling it the only correct one in a long time.

Kadyrov believes that the UN commission's report reflects only a small part of the genocide committed over the decades. He also criticized the Israeli Foreign Ministry's response, calling the report "false."

On his Telegram channel, Kadyrov stated that evidence available online proves that Israel is a "terrorist state."

"The UN commission's report was not without a cynical comment from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which claimed that the document was allegedly based on lies spread by Hamas. But while before the internet era, the Zionists could get away with this, now video evidence alone is more than enough to finally prove that Israel is a terrorist state," the Chechen leader wrote.

In conclusion, he expressed doubt that Western leaders would impose sanctions against Israel.

Ruben Vardanyan Drops Appeal Against 20-Year Sentence in Azerbaijan

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.
