Putin ally says he should use low-yield nuclear weapons after loss of city

Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of the Chechen republic, in an angry statement slamming Russian generals in the wake of Russia’s withdrawal of its forces from the strategic town of Lyman, said it was time for the Kremlin to make use of every weapon at his disposal.

“I do not know what the Defense Ministry reports to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, but in my personal opinion we need to take more drastic measures, including declaring martial law in the border territories and using low-yield nuclear weapons. There is no need to make every decision with the Western American community in mind,” Kadyrov said on his Telegram channel.
