Ramzan Kadyrov treats dodgers leaving Russia as pitiful sight

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has stated that mobilization dodgers who line up at airports aiming to leave Russia are lazy guys and parasites. In his opinion, they are of no use for the country.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Kadyrov had labelled those who wouldn't go to Ukraine as part of mobilization as "cowards, traitors and second-class people."

On September 21, Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization. After that, air tickets to Armenia and Azerbaijan were sold out a few days ahead; and a multi-kilometre traffic jamhas lined up on the border with Georgia.

"Involuntarily, you begin to understand that without this ballast it will be easier and better for everyone. Parasites, lazybones, vagabonds and dependents will never bring any benefit – only harm," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

He has noted that mobilization is the "training of reserves." "We're just preparing reserves ... If we need them, it's good. If we don't need them, it's even better!" he has written.

Besides, he has accused the "Western propaganda" of "spreading its tentacles and diluting the patriotic upbringing."

Let us remind you that on September 22, Kadyrov announced that there would be no partial mobilization in Chechnya, since the republic had already exceeded the plan for sending fighters to Ukraine.
