The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced a $1 million reward for the coordinates of the "battalions of Sheikh Mansur and Dzhokhar Dudayev," whose members threatened to kill Chechen fighters in Ukraine. According to Kadyrov, there are sponsors who are ready to give money for accurate information.

“I am announcing a $1 million incentive to anyone who gives the whereabouts of the so-called battalions… [of] Sheikh Mansur and Dzhokhar Dudayev. We must destroy them: either they will kneel down and ask for forgiveness from the Chechen people and all Muslims, or their heads on the compartment,” Kadyrov said in his Telegram channel.

In the end of March, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Magomed Daudov, chairman of the republic's parliament, said this on his VKontakte page, specifying that Kadyrov's contribution "to the victory over international terrorism in the Chechen Republic and the preservation of Russia's integrity cannot be overestimated." The information message was also published on the website of the Chechnya Today news agency. The corresponding decree has not been published on the President's website at the time of this writing.

In January, the Minister of Press and Information of Chechnya Akhmed Dudayev published on his Instagram page a video message to the "provocateurs," implying critics of the Chechen regime and the head of the federal republic, Ramzan Kadyrov.

According to Dudayev, Kadyrov's critics are trying to pin up comrades who are working on Akhmat's path. They say that they can do nothing but run on Ramzan's orders. If at some event they shake off a speck from Ramzan, or remove dirt from their shoes, two or three people are pinned at once.

In addition, Dudayev called Kadyrov's opponents "enemies of Allah," "not Chechens," "not men," and "the party of shaitans."
