Kadyrov's quote: "Elon Musk, I would not advise you to compete with Putin. Very different weight categories. And it's not even in martial arts or, for example, judo. How do you imagine it? You're in the red corner of the ring - a businessman and a Twitter blogger. Putin in the blue corner- a world politician, strategist, a threat to the West and the United States. Volodymyr Volodymyrovych will not look athletic when facing a weaker opponent.

That's why you should reinforce yourself to become a brutal Elon from a gentle Elon. I propose you train in several centres in the Chechen Republic."

  • Elon Musk supported Ukraine against a full-scale Russian war. President Volodymyr Zelensky personally thanked him for supporting and providing terminals for communication with satellite Internet, which belongs to his company.
  • Kadyrov said on March 13 that he was allegedly near Kyiv and personally commanding units of his henchmen. In contrast, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said they had no information about Kadyrov's stay in Ukraine.
