President of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov spoke about the course of the special military operation in Ukraine and predicted a quick end to the conflict. In his opinion, everything is moving towards an end to hostilities.
"I am more than just sure that it will not be long before the war ends. The shootouts back and forth will continue, because there have always been people — at all times, in all military and post-war events — who are interested in profiting from wars rather than in ending them" Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov said.
Kadyrov also said that he would not like the hostilities to end "while these shaitans are alive."
"I want to finish them off," he said about a scenario that would suit him.
Speaking about Donald Trump's promises to end the conflict in Ukraine in 24 hours by making a couple of calls, Kadyrov said:
"Let's see how much of a man he is."
A man must keep his word, Karydov said and expressed confidence that Trump would do so. However, according to Kadyrov, it is unlikely that it will be possible to stop the hostilities within such a short time.
"He will not be able to stop the war in 24 hours, it is not in his hands to do it," Ramzan Kadyrov reasoned.
Kremlin's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the special operation in Ukraine has dragged on for so long because it is not only Russia and Ukraine, but also NATO countries that take part in the conflict.
"Right now it's continuing as a war between Russia and NATO. That's why it took a little longer and will continue for a little while longer," Peskov said.
