The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, probably wants representatives of the Chechen security forces units to perform judicial functions in the Ukrainian occupied territories, according to analysts of the Institute for the Study of War, as stated in the text of another report from the Institute, published on the institution’s official portal.
“On January 20, Ramzan Kadyrov published a video recording of a group of Chechen theologians who are completing their studies at a Russian Special Forces University in Grozny, and noted that more than 300 qadis (magistrates and judges who implement sharia law – ed.) and imams plan to undergo similar training and go to Ukraine. The fact that Chechen caddies will be included in the Chechen units deployed in Ukraine deserves attention. Kadis usually perform judicial functions in criminal and civil cases, and their presence in Ukraine may indicate that Kadyrov intends for the Chechen forces to perform the main function of administration in the occupied territories,” the ISW stated.
The institute also suggested that Kadyrov could use qadis and imams in Ukraine to create social conditions for the long-term resettlement of the Muslim population from the Caucasus to the occupied regions of Ukraine.
