Chechnya President Ramazan Kadyrov, who has supported Russian President Vladimir Putin since the first days of the Russia-Ukraine war, sent thousands of Chechnya soldiers to Ukraine to attack Ukraine with Russian troops.
After the Ukrainian intelligence announced that Kadyrov might be in Ukraine, President Kadyrov, who shared a post on his social media account, announced that he was in Ukraine.

But in his next post, the president, who claims to be fighting in Ukraine, is seen kneeling in prayer next to a gas station with a machine gun next to him. In the background of the photo was the Pulsar logo, which is a gas station sales brand found only in Russia and is known to belong to the Russian state-controlled oil company Rosneft.

This shared photo revealed the allegations that the president of Chechnya is still in Russia. Ramazan Kadyrov claimed to be in Mariupol, but actually still appeared in Russia. Kadyrov received great criticism over these photos and posts claiming to be in Ukraine while he was in Russia.
The allegations that Kadyrov was on the field in Ukraine continued with another post on his social media accounts showing that he met with the soldiers sent to Ukraine. Kadyrov was seen hosting a Russian official in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, after he claimed to have visited soldiers in Ukraine.
